After we left Zofia, we continued to Trzebuska where we were to meet relatives on our Paternal Grandmother's side of the family. As we turned the corner to go down the street, the lot where our Great Grandfather Maximillian lived was the first on the street. The original house where he lived no longer exists but a new one replaced it in the 1950s.
The next house was where his daughter lived and the third house was the meeting place. When we arrived, the relatives (family) were very welcoming and so happy to meet someone from America. Although they did last year, when cousin Dan and Mary were there, for them it didn't seem to get old. It didn't take long for Daniel to get into action and make old and new connections, take pictures for us and also good notes.
Maria, Max's granddaughter has a lot to offer and very willing to share info.
Food, prepared the old fashioned way.
More notes and pictures of pictures...
and more food...
and more stories...
and someone turns up the volume, and there was dancing and merriment.
It was a great day...however from around 8 am on Thursday, including naps on the plane, napping at the airport waiting for another plane because we missed the flight, and maybe about 5 hours on Friday night to Saturday am, and realizing it was really about 2 am Eastern daylight time (Sunday in the US)...we headed to Rzeszow for some sleep.
