                                      Hello lecount1973,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecount1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Alan or Valeny-Valenty or Valentine Sudol&lt;br /&gt;
born August 4th 1888 in Pogorzalka, Austrian Poland&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pogorza&amp;#322;ka belonged to Je&amp;#380;owe parish in 19th century. Records from this parish starting from 1828 can be found locally, in the parish church in Je&amp;#380;owe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecount1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Zofia Mary Starzec&lt;br /&gt;

Werynia, Galicia as her residence &lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Werynia belonged to Kolbuszowa parish and, as you can check in our Polish Genealogy Databases tool, books for the parish can be found in Bishop Archives in Tarnów: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=site%3Aparafie.genealodzy.pl+kolbuszowa&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=site%3Aparafie.genealodzy.pl+kolbuszowa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecount1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Josefa Los&lt;br /&gt;

or Synchaja&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I haven't found any village Synchaja. In Bialystok there were plenty of churches of different religions. You will have to give more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecounte1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jan Zoltek&lt;br /&gt;
born June ? 1873&lt;br /&gt;
Galicia&lt;br /&gt;
came to America 1900 or more likely 1908&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katarzyna Moskal&lt;br /&gt;
born July 19 1886&lt;br /&gt;
Galicia&lt;br /&gt;
had a son Yuzef born 1902&lt;br /&gt;
Left Poland 1902 &lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
More details nedded...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecounte1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Ewa Gil - Born 1895 Widelka, Galicia, Poland&lt;br /&gt;
- had a cousin Marya Gil aged 42 in 1913 &lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There were to Wide&amp;#322;kas in Galicia, both in Kolbuszowa county. The one belonged to Przewrotne parish, the other to Dzikowiec parish. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part of the roman catholic records from Przewrotne is kept partially in State Archives in Rzeszow and part (older) State archives in Przemysl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have no information where the books from Dzikowiec parishe can be currently kept. It would require further investigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;lecounte1973 wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;Szymon Cieryt&lt;br /&gt;
born 1885 Luchow Gorny&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The village Luchów Górny belonged to Tarnogród parish and the records can be found locally in the parish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems that your great Polish family come from different parts of the old Polish territory. Unfortunately, most of the records are still kept locally and the possible (however not always effective) way to continue the research  is to visit the parishes personally, or find someone who could do this on your behalf. We can assist you in your research trip - see details on our &lt;a href=&quot;http://tours.polishorigins.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Forefathers Traces Tours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; page here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://tours.polishorigins.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://tours.polishorigins.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>
