W.orlaskey,

You just need to enter there an amount that you wish to send.

Warm greetings,

To simplify the process from now on you can make direct donation to Marcelproust for his translations to his PayPal account: variatkovo@o2.pl. All other rules and the translation guidelines remain unchanged: https://polishorigins.com/records-translations/

There were some problems with the website, however now it should be working again. Please check on your computer and let me know if you will still have this error message.

The postings were from 2014. I remember one asking where Kociumbince was. This was her place of origin in the Hamburg listing from 1907. I can't remember the other question.
But I did want to pursue what I came up with.
Also, I'm curious if the people who were denied admission and sent back are recorded anywhere. There doesn't seem to be any mention of my great grandfather after they arrived.
I have corresponded with the parish priest from Providence and he is not mentioned at all.

OK. I will assume that the conversation you are referring to is here:
http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=2375

If you click on the link and go to the conversation, I'll leave a message there.

Mary,
I edited my response above to include two links, but you replied, I think, before my edits were posted. Was your conversation one of those? If both of those links are related, they can be combined to save you the trouble of keeping track of 2 threads of conversation.

Hi Mary, I am sure that you did not offend anyone. Sometime my postings go unanswered too. Can you tell me where you posted it?

I see that we talked on this posting:
http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=1331&highlight=milewski

and you also posted here: http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=2375&highlight=milewski

Is there another posting where no one replied?

I sent in some questions some time ago and I have never received a reply. I'm wondering if I offended somehow, but I can't imagine how. I have been working on my family history for about a year now and I am stuck on the Polish side. My grandparents came to the U.S. at the beginning of the 20th century and I cannot get past Ellis Island.

Shellie, thanks for this explanation. We are working on a "user manual" for new members of the PolishOrigins forum.

That could be automatically sent to their email adresses just as soon as they registered.

Hi Eileen,
Are you talking about the message you posted on your profile that started with:

I am trying to trace my grandmother's family. Her last name was Zbydniewski

If, so, then that message is only visible when someone clicks on your member name and reads your profile.

If you'd like for the information that you wrote in your profile to appear in the discussion forum, you can post it again here:

http://forum.polishorigins.com/
On this page, scroll down the list of forum sections and choose one that best fits your message. If your main interest is in Poland, click on any line that says "Research in Poland" This will take you to the forum.

Next,
On the upper left of the page, under the words Research in Poland - you will see a button for "new topic." The titles that get the most success are one's that include surnames and village name (if you know it), like this: Figus family from Nowy Targ area

I hope that this information helps you. There are alot of nice people on this forum and I am sure that someone will respond to your posting quickly.

If I've left anything out of the instructions, please let me know!

You're welcome, Ute. I was sure you knew the search box function, but I've posted a detailed explanation so that users less experienced with the forum features could benefit from these tips as well.

Hello Slawomir,
Thank you for your very quick and detailed response. I've been using the search box from time to time (e.g. when searching for certain keywords), but sometimes there were just too many results displayed to weed through. Specifying the options for displaying the results as you describe it seems to be a good way to limit this. Thank you!

Searching the forum for postings by a specific user

Suppose you wish to examine postings sent by Zenon

1. You click the search option
http://polishorigins.com/forum/search.php?sid=27ac2c1928dfb11a0dc73d2b2a14a2f6
(see image #1)

2. Enter the forum name of a user in the box corresponding to "Search for Author" (see image #2)

3. In "Display results as" I prefer the option "Posts" ("Topics" is selected by default). This way, it is easier to reach a specific post.

4. The column on the right-hand side allows you to further select how the results are displayed.

5. Click the "Search" button

6. See the results (image #3)

7. To go directly to a specific post, click the underlined text which is the subject of a given message (highlighted in yellow on image #3)

Ute, I hope it is the solution to the problem you described, and that you will all find it useful. It took me a while to learn this feature while being a member of an internet forum dedicated to blues music.
