Szczawinska page research to come someday

 in the meantime, here's a wonderful genealogy poem

    Tell me Something Granny


    Where did you come from, Granny dear?
    How did you get from there to here?
    Tell me what was your maiden name?
    Has it always been spelled the same?
    Where was your birthplace, county and state or country?
    When were you born?
    Please give me the date.
    No, no Granny never fear!! I'll put the birthday but not the year.
    We'll leave that blank on the family tree; I promise your secret won't go past me.
    Who was your father?
    Do you have proof?
    What other children lived under his roof?
    And what of your mother?
    Who was she?
    What do you know of her pedigree?
    When were they married?
    Can it be proved?
    That they were not cousins once removed?
    I have a few questions to ask you still: Did your father own land?
    Did he leave a will?
    Your vital records, where are they?
    What do original sources say?
    We must have documents, one or two, to prove, dear granny, that you are you!
