                                      Hello,&lt;br /&gt;
Do you have any vital info on Jadwiga Drozdzok? My ancestor was Viktor Drozdzok (1889-1969) from the same village, Hohenbirken (Brzezie). Perhaps they are related? Also, which photo is the one with the Brzezie pilgrims?&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Interesting note &lt;a href=&quot;https://ratibor-raciborz.blogspot.com/2013/04/pielgrzymi-z-1913-roku.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://ratibor-raciborz.blogspot.com/2013/04/pielgrzymi-z-1913-roku.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the photo of pilgrims from Brzezie visiting Rhome (1913). One of them was Jadwiga Drożdżok. I think the real name of Drozdzok would be either Drożdżok or Drożdziok, probably both valid, as variations of same name. Today people living even with Droździok surname&lt;br /&gt;

                                      HI!, You may ask somebody to go to the Archives in Racibórz and take the photos of the available books. Here is the info on births and archives &lt;a href=&quot;http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.php?l=pl&amp;amp;mode=showopis&amp;amp;id=38857&amp;amp;miejscowosc=brzezie&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://baza.archiwa.gov.pl/sezam/pradziad.php?l=pl&amp;amp;mode=showopis&amp;amp;id=38857&amp;amp;miejscowosc=brzezie&lt;/a&gt;  you may also ask directly by mail for research and scans but it ususally costs much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
books of Brzezie available in archive:&lt;br /&gt;
births: 1874-1907, 1909-1912&lt;br /&gt;
marriages: 1874-1910&lt;br /&gt;
deaths: 1874-1884, 1886-1910&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Racibórz community:&lt;br /&gt;
BMD: 1874-1911&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Markowice community:&lt;br /&gt;
BMD: 1874-1904&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adamowice:&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of interest (XIX cent.) Adamowice and Raszczyce belonged to Markowice parish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I cannot determine of what faith are these books but probably r-catch.</description>
