From now until Christmas Day we’re showcasing different things you can do with family and friends on Broad Street. Every day will feature one item that’s available in one of the restaurants, stores, bars, or delis on the street. We’re calling it the 12 Days of A Broad Street Christmas in New Britain CT.
FOUR CHURCHES, TWO ARCHIVES, ONE FAMILY
I just recently returned from my third trip to Poland. My first trip to Poland was a Church sponsored trip in 2012 which was a tourist trip. In 2014, I made my second trip to Poland when I, along with Jonathan Shea, organized the trip. We brought 44 American genealogists to Poland in search of their roots, sending some of them (including me) to their ancestral villages. On my village trip I was lucky enough to find my second cousin, Henryk, living in the ancestral village and waiting for an American to make the reverse trip back to Poland. (more…)
I started this blog to highlight the Polish stores on Broad Street, New Britain, in the area now known as Little Poland. I frequently shop on Broad Street and have my favorite stores. For this blog, I decided to go to a store I had not gone to before-Poldarex. What I found out is that Poldarex is a very special place. It is not just what they sell; it is about so much more.
