When my great grandmother came to Canada, she travelled with her children and grandchildren. Great grandfather had already come to Canada, I believe but I haven’t been able to locate his voage. I am sure she was anxious to see her husband again.

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.

Would you happened to know why PA was a
place they wanted to settle? My husbands
Polish family settled in PA, some stayed and
some left.
