Polish Gazette in Brazil

Cześć !

I've just got a nice news.

I discovered that there is a Polish Colony in Brazil which releases a newspaper fortnightly, written half Polish and half Portuguese. The name of this newspaper is Polska w Brazylii and it can be freely download on their site:

www.polonesesnobrasil.com.br/jornal/inicio.html (po portugalsku)

There are about 1.5 Million Polish and Polish descents in Brazil and I'm very glad to know that Brazil makes a very small part of the Polish History, a country of which I appreciate so much.

(Detail, the Polish written in the newspaper doesn't have signs. Like: cześć would be czesc, OK ?)

Na razie.

Quoting: Zeze start to think there are more Poles outside Poland them within Maybe you are right, Zeze. Since Polish people are everywhere and I'm glad to know that you are here, too.

Not sure,but i thought you might enjoy this little bit of polish art & Social D

(checkout the Olean Polish Squirrel video at youtube.com/watch?v=E4YXYsv3Uv8)

Above is the local newspaper article about the newest Olean community art project squirrel / statue,a tribute to Gen. Casimir Krupnik, sponsored by the Olean ,N.Y. ,Pulaski Club.
And below is the youtube link to the video of the making of the statue (it includes some early paintings of General Pulaski).This was just a little video created during the making of a charity / community art project.Being my 3rd squirrel, for Woodland in the city (Olean NY), i've done ,i wanted to somehow document its making.The projects eventual goal, is a childs interactive history museum,so this squirrel combines american history (General Pulaski) with a little art & fun. If you decide to check it out and like it,maybe you could pass it on .Hope you at least enjoy it,if not sorry to have bothered you. Jim Thanks, Jim

I am looking for my ancestors in Curitiba/Uniao de Vitoria area; my family on my great-grandmother side were Witoslawski (Estephano - he married bronislawa Birnbaum, Wladyslawa - she married Jose Preiss, Maximiliano, Helena - she married my great-grandfather Casimiro Hominski) and their children were Wlodek, Czesiek, Wanda ( she married Fredolino Wolf), Hela - (she married a diplomat in 1934). My great-grandfather returned to Poland in 1925 with his wife Helena Witoslawska - Hominska and thei 4 kids Tomira, Sedziwoj, Budzislawa, and Bratomila. My great-grandmother was from Wrzesnia region in Poland and my great-grandfather from Lwow area in Poland. he was a doctor in Uniao da Vitoria - he was married in Abranches in 1905 in the iglesia santa anna. I am looking for any information anyone may have on those names.
