Gilberto, How did you find the Polish census. My ancestors came from several villages in Poland, including, Ludzmierz, Gronkow, Ostrowsko, and Szaflary, all in the Nowy Targ region. I was wondering if I could see the census records of those towns, and see if there are any familiar surnames there.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The information was taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.herby.com.pl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.herby.com.pl&lt;/a&gt; but it shows nothing else than the amount of people with a surname in a given province (as it was in 1990).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have read topics on this forum about Censuses in Galicia.&lt;br /&gt;
There is a Census project that presently cover only parts of kujawsko-pomorskie and wielkopolskie areas. Maybe more areas will be included later:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://meldunkowe.genealodzy.pl/meldunkowe.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://meldunkowe.genealodzy.pl/meldunkowe.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Happy New Year!</description>
