This is an archive collection of entries from  my main personal blog, My Mundane Mid-Life.


This particular entry is from August 02, 2002.



Friday 5 - Geneology

The Friday Five
Time for another Friday Five...
1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from? My mom's parents are from Poland, my dad's are from Lithuania.
2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit? Probably Poland. I feel closer to my Polish roots.
3. Which would you least like to visit? Why? I guess that would leave Lithuania as odd man out, only because I know nothing about the country or its people.
4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage? Well, my mom has a tendency of bringing up all things Polish throughout the year, whether it's food, or heritage, or whatever, but not any real celebrating.
5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)? Grandparents. I found my mom's mom at the Ellis Island website, but can't find anybody else yet. Also, having a difficult time trying to trace the family tree any further back than my grandparents.

Comments on this entry

Well, until I officially start a blog, here goes for me:

1. Here in regressive order: (me) NW Chicago suburbs, northside Chicago; (parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents,etc?) southern IL/western TN & KY/southeastern MO; (ancestors) England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Germany, Cherokee, Choctaw.

2. Scotland. The wide-open heaths and exposed stones here in the midwest excite my blood to go to Scotland, though I may know no one there.

3. Probably Germany. A difficult foreign language, and all. Also probably pricey.

4. I quietly mark Burns Night (for poet Robert Burns), Jan. 30th, but I refuses to eat haggis.

5. Well, for the most part, my first American ancestors are obscured. Other relatives are working on this.

BTW, Polish food makes me sometimes wish I had Polish ancestry! Try, for excellent example, Truszkowski Delicatessens in McHenry and Gurnee.
