Over 100 years and our family is reunited

For many who immigrated from their homelands, they knew once they left, they would never see their loved ones again.

When Constantine and Anna (nee Lassa) left their village, Wirsitz (now Wyrszrk) from all of the records we've located until today, they were the only members of their respective families who emigrated.

After much searching and researching, finding Anna's family in Poland-reconnected our families in America and Poland. Reconnection takes time and it meant a great deal to me during the holiday season, we received a beautiful card from the Lassa family. After 100 years of separation, discovering you have a family in another country, a family you've felt in your heart and missed makes you appreciate every day and every moment.
