This post may not be genealogy related, but it does share something about the interests of people in Poland. Motorcycle racing has
become a very popular sport in Poland where teams from various cities in Poland compete and peopel are VERY loyal to their teams. My cousin Adam is no different in this respect. Adam & his son Artur & I went to the local race in Toruń on Sundaz night and had a wonderful time,

This night Toruń was racing against Goście. The stadium holds about 15,000 people and is the most modern track in Poland. I found out that there is an American (Greg Hancock) that races for the Toruń team and has been for a year, but Greg has been racing motorcycles in Poland for about 16 years. I will share just a few photos for you.

I have Certificates of Completion for studies in "Foundations of Forensic Genealogy" and "Advanced Forensic Genealogy Techniques". I have been a volunteer librarian at the local Family History Center, and a genealogy research consultant at “Ask the Expert” Ancestry Road Shows. I have traveled to Poland numerous times & researched in churches and archives. At conferences and special events, you may find me dressed up in my Sherlock Holmes outfit, or my Kujawy (the folk costume from the region in Poland where my ancestors came from).
