My Great Great Grandfather
Jan was born in Poland and lived to be 105.
Husband of MaryAnna.
Father of Pawel Dolecki.
I'm sure that Pawel was not an only child as the Dolecki's were Catholic and large families seem to be a tradition.
I don't really know much about him (yet!).
I bet he could've told some stories, in Polish only, about Poland and Detroit because he lived in very interesting times.

A BIG THANK YOU to Father Janusz Iwan of St. Hyacinth's Catholic Church (Poletown-Detroit) for the translation.
I could translate the dates myself, just not the phrase.
