We went there &quot;cold&quot; on our first trip hoping to meet descendants via a very good driver and helpful people. We had a wonderful day and did come back with some info from the priest but no one was sure they were any direct relation.<br /> <br /> I decided to be more aggressive for an upcoming trip this spring. Through very creative googling and writing another parish priest, I found some leads. The google search yielded a very close connection who are looking forward to meeting with us. In another village, I recieved some info from the priest and had names but no addresses so I wrote a letter in Polish and English and sent them to the village post master. They obviously made it because I just recieved a phone call from someone in Poland! It took a while and I thought it was all a waste of time there for a while. The communication has been slow and tedious but it produced the results!<br /> <br /> I have now made direct connections with my grandparents family and my husband's grandmother's family!<br /> <br /> I still have to contact Zenon when I set the visitng dates!<br /> <br /> Donna https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=25373#25373 dgawell Tue Jan 12, 2016 9:51 am https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=25373#25373
