&lt;br /&gt;
There are plenty of records from Ciemniewko praish in Polish State Archives, branch in Mlawa &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warszawa.ap.gov.pl/angielski/mlawa/mlawa.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.warszawa.ap.gov.pl/angielski/mlawa/mlawa.html&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have positive experience with contacting them via e-mail (in Polish). Try to write to them what you need by this e-mail: apw.mlawaATwarszawa.ap.gov.pl (replace AT by @) . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For all contacting Polish State Archives very helpful may be James' article, which can be found here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/document/archives_practical_hints&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/document/archives_practical_hints&lt;/a&gt; .</description>

They gave the old province has ciechanow and also Mazovia,etc.  Every time I have tried the archives I am unable to locate anything.  Thanks carol VE a fifth</description>

I completely agree with you. For all, click here to see our other discussion about name changes: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=84&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=84&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;

Do you know if the Olympic gold medalists Evan Lysacek is of polish descent?  Thanks Carol Tamara&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to wikipedia &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_lysacek&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_lysacek&lt;/a&gt; is of Italian and Czech descent; his great-grandfather Frantiek Lysá&amp;#269;ek, emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Chicago in 1925. And Czech and Polish as languages with the same Slavic roots sound really similar.</description>

                                      Carol,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I found through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/databases&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;PolishOrigins Databases tool&lt;/a&gt; that part of the records from Ciemniewko parish is indexed in the Polish Genealogical Society Project 'Geneteka' &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=ciemniewko&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/databases/index?s=ciemniewko&lt;/a&gt; to see search results from our POD tool, and here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/9lrR05&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/9lrR05&lt;/a&gt; to see translated into English page of Geneteka project from Mazovia region. Click on 'guestbook' and among other parishes you will find there Ciemniewko. Add period of time you are interested in, surname, and click Search (or 'Wyszukaj' in Polish version).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And tell us about results  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>
