Sabaudia in the Winter

It is very exciting to get this picture from Andrzej Dubiel! He is my second cousin--his grandmother Pauline and my grandfather Anthony were siblings. He lives in Sabaudia, near Tomaszow Lubelskie, where my grandfather Anthony and his siblings were born. The 4x great grand parents (Jan and Apolonia Raczkiewicz) moved there in the early 1800s and the next generations were born there, including Andrzej. Sabaudia is a village about two miles northeast of the city. Wikipedia says there are currently about 600 people living there. I sent Andrzej this Facebook link to see what Grand Rapids looked like where and when the Raczkiewicz were first here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/weRwestsiders/permalink/10159588634539528
