What is Babci's Village? |
|
Babci (or Babcia) is the Polish word for Grandmother. My Pra Babci (great-grandmother)
came to the US in 1900, at age 12, from a small village in southern Poland
called Posada Jasliska. This village is in the Carpathian Mountains a
couple of kilometers from the Slovak border. At one time it was a major
trading center between Poland and Slovakia.
