Quote from: "Bricktop"Just checked. Nope. Great grandpa left before 1920.

They left Poland for Britain?


Yes.



It was common in those days, as England and Poland had strong and long serving cultural and political ties for centuries.



Many Poles went to Britain, and also the US. Not quite sure why, but I assume it was to seek a better life.

Britain is their favourite destination for work in the EU?

Bricktop

Yes...it seems so...but even before the EU and the Communist scourge, many Poles emigrated to the UK and anglicised their names. I believe my ancestral name, Radciewicz, was often converted to "Richards" or "Richardson". No clue why. Poles often simply pick a new surname and change it because they like the name. Great Grandpa did that.

Ever see those figureheads at the front of ships. Here's a collection from Greenwich, London.

No. Just constantly perplexed as to why you persist with your childish charade.

Childish charade like you're a clean minded, respectful, and well meaning person online or off?



I've seen the Wayback Machine stuff. If you had a wife, she would have left you years ago. I would have without a doubt.
Blahhhhhh...

Bricktop

Well, I'm sure not the meat in a bitch sandwich. How are Flea and Feral these days?
