Thank U very much for the variation of Joan----
I never gave it a thought to Google a search for myself---

Matter of fact--I would imagine the best would be to call Aunt Joan up and ask her *how the heck do U spell ya name in Polish*

Deb called me once to correct the spelling of Grandma---I always said Babci--but Deb checked and said *nope--it is BabciA

Heck, my grandparents tried very hard to teach me Polish---and,as a kid spending my summers there, did I want schooling NO!!!

Anyway it was kinda hard when they didnt know how to say the *english* version of the word they were trying to teach me in Polish--

thanks again--always appreciate your *time* in looking stuff up--

Hi Barbara,

You're most welcome.

I missed the same opportunity - my grandparents on my father's side spoke German, and on my mother's side, Czech. Just like you, though, at the time, there were too many "fun" things to do, so I didn't see any reason to "waste" my time learning any other languages. After they were gone, I realized my mistake.

As the old Dutch proverb goes, "We grow too soon old, and too late smart". <sigh>

Luve,
Galahad

*we grow too soon old,and too late smart*

BUT----there is still time to keep learning----right!!!!

Mrs. Columbo,

Right you are! When we stop learning - it's all over.

Incidentally, speaking of the name "Marion", I'll bet you knew that one of the most famous Americans of all time was named Marion Michael Morrison. Remember? [spoiler]John Wayne.[/spoiler]

I hope you sleep like a log too.

Luve,
Galahad
