Funeral Card Friday


Julia/Julianna Schulc Rybczynska


This card comes from the collection of my boyfriend's mother, Bev.  This is the funeral card for her Great-Grandmother.  Her ancestry is Polish, mostly through Buffalo, New York.  As you can see, the card is all in Polish.  Bev can read some Polish and told me that the death date was Jan 20, 1924

Another interesting factoid: Polish surnames take on masculine and feminine.  Julianna's husband was Martin Rybcynski while Julianna was Julianna Rybcynska.  I find that very interesting.
