Notes
a. Note:   Dates associated with Valentine Walenty (Valentine) -- Valentine, abbot January 7; Valentine, bishop/martyr February 14 Naming after Saints Saints and their Feast Days were very important to the Polish people. Many parents consulted their pastor and/or the Roman Calendar to name their children. The parents looked for a saint whose feast day was on or near the birth or baptismal date of their child. The feast day was unusally not more than three weeks after the birth or baptism. Poles did not celebrate their birthdays, as we do now. They celebrated the feast day of the saint for whom they were named or the anniversary of their baptism. Many families in Poland today still observe this tradition. Note: Keep in mind that many immigrants from Poland may have given their baptismal date or feast day instead of their actual date of birth when providing a birth date for American records. A plaque at St. Adalbert's Cemetery states that most of the immigrants in the area came from the Poznan region of Poland.
