February 5, 2017 — New Third Cousin (Magdalena Maczynska)
Dear William, Daniel, Catherine, Michael, and Sarah, (and your parents), (and any future descendants and their parents),
Congratulations! You have a NEW Third Cousin! Her name is Magdalena Maczynska, and she was born on February 1, 2017, in Warszawa Poland.
2017_02_01_NewCousin.
Probably, the easiest way for you to understand this Family Tree is to print it out, and then paste the pages together (each next to each other) — to do so, go HERE.
As you can see from this Family Tree, Magdalena is the daughter of Marek’s, Rysiu’s, & Malgosia’s Second Cousin, Kasia Maczynska (nee Tomala), who is the daughter of my First Cousin, Roza Tomala (nee Bobrowska), who is the daughter of my Dad’s sister, Teresa Bobrowska (nee Kostro).
I met Kasia (Magdalena’s Mom), when Malgosia, John, Marek, Kelly, Babcia Krysia and I traveled to Poland in 2006 — I started telling you about that trip HERE (unfortunately, I never got around to telling you the rest of that story — maybe I will have a chance to do so soon).
Anyway, on our second day in Poland, we attended a dinner hosted by my First Cousin Roza and her family. That is when I met Kasia.
- In Roza’s & Slawek’s apartment: Kelly, Malgosia, John & Pawel
- 5/6/2006: In Roza’s & Slawek’s apartment: Roza T, Krysia, Marek, Kelly
- 5/6/2006: Katarzyna/Kasia Tomala (now, Kasia Maczynska)
- omala family: Roza, Slawek, Maciej, Katarzyna
On May 26, 2012, Kasia married Piotr Mączyński.
Together, Piotr and Kasia set up a photography business — FlipFrames
I hope that each of you will have the chance to open your own business some day — it is hard work, but it can be very rewarding.
Today is the Superbowl — so, I have to run (I need to prepare some snacks).
Love,
Dziadziuś Paweł.

Good morning Prince William,
This morning, I want to talk to you about Name Days (in Polish, they are called “Imieniny”) — I researched your name “William”. Guess what!– in Polish, your name is “Wilhelm,” and your Imieniny are on May 28 — the day of your birthday! That is amazing!!! Apparently, you predecessor in name was Saint William of Gellone — check him out!
