I'm glad you enjoyed it. Jewelgirl...PA was one of many places that Poles settled here in the US. I think it depended a lot on one's occupation. My weavers came to Philadelphia because of the factories, as did the city-dwellers from Warsaw. Cities were good places to find work. I know that others went to "upstate" PA and the Pittsburgh area for the coal mines and steel factories. Overall, I don't think that PA had the highest number of Polish immigrants...not sure, but it may have been either Chicago or Detroit. Thanks, ladies! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
