We all associate ourselves with an ethnicity or a culture. Whether we're of African, Irish or Columbian descent - most of us want to know something about our ancestry or family history.
The US is home to about ten million people of polish ancestry. They are the third largest ethnic group that migrated from Europe - behind the Irish and Italians. Along with Chicago and parts of New York, Connecticut is a large Polish immigration center. Catie Talarski went in search of her Polish heritage by exploring the local community.
