My Aunt and Uncle let me scan this photo from my grandfather’s collection. It’s a photo of his 8th grade class at St. Casimir’s School in northeast Milwaukee in February 1936. As you can tell by the names, if you can see them, it was a very Polish-heavy area. I’ve magnified my grandfather’s photograph. The original image is very large, so I didn’t want to put the whole thing on the site. The girls got the top area of the photo, the boys on the bottom, and the teachers in the middle.
On a side note, I plan to start posting more often again. I’ve been busy recently, with a new baby on the way and all, and have also not had the genealogy bug for a bit.
Nice photo, Brian. Fr. Kielpinski baptized me at St. Casimir’s in 1949. Don’t suppose there were any of our other surnames, like Kolasinski, there in that photo? I remember my mother talking about Fr. Karwata–now I know what these people looked like!
I’ll send you a list of all of the names I can read from the photo.
