I decided to introduce the 'My Polish Ancestor' worksheets today, March 2, because it is Casimir Pulaski Day. This holiday commemorates the life of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish soldier and cavalryman who fought with the colonists in the U.S. Revolutionary War.
If you are like me, you may have ethnically-Polish ancestors who were born in what is now Poland, but what was then a different country, like Austria-Hungary or Prussia. Despite that, I decided to leave the wording on the worksheets as 'My ancestor was born in Poland,' so as not to confuse the young children that these worksheets are geared towards.
As always there are male and female versions of each worksheet - the female one featuring Polish-American opera singer Marcella Sembrich, and the male one featuring U.S. Civil War general (and Polish immigrant) Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski. The sheet for recording sources can be found at this link.
