As a founding member of Welcome.us, I am honored to introduce Immigrant Heritage Month to all of my friends and family! In 1903, my great-great grandmother, Agata (Agatha) Gawal, began her journey from Manasterz, Poland to the United States. She was joined later that year by my great-great grandfather, Antoni Penc - age 19. Though we can find no official record of Agathas arrival, my great grandmother (known as Bachi to all of us) used to tell the story of how her father stole a horse from his parish priest to get to the ship on time. Once he arrived at the shipyard, he left a note on the horse to return it to the priest! My Bachi served as the matriarch of my mothers family. She yelled at everyone in polish, yet always showered us with love. I know shed be very proud that our entire family still gets together once a year to make hundreds of pierogi. Whats your EST story? Go to Welcome.US to celebrate immigrant heritage month by downloading your EST year and sharing on FB & Twitter under the hashtag #WelcomeUs — at welcome.us .
