Silesian Texans

 


Photo from Panna Maria: An Image of Polish
 Texans

Land meant prosperity for posterity.
In the 1850s, immigrants from the European region of Upper Silesia, now in Poland, came to Texas.  We are the descendants of those brave settlers, seeking to keep alive their traditions, culture, heritage and memories.
