Hi Gabby,&lt;br /&gt;
The problem is that the Lubgens site scans are links to the szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl site, which has been down for a while. There is a recent post here on the forum, in which Zenon says that szukajwarchiwach may remain closed until the end of November. I expect you will regain access to scans at that point.&lt;br /&gt;
Best of luck in your continued research,&lt;br /&gt;

Thank you very much for your continued help with the site and your information on the relationship of the two records.&lt;br /&gt;
I was somewhat concerned because generally the translation requests have brought a reply within a couple of days.  My problem is not being able to read the Polish or have anyone who can.  I did give copies of some records to my brother-in- laws, mother-in-law who was born in Poland and came here as a young child and has been part of the Polish community for years, but I have not heard back from her for several months. So I have become dependent on this site for Polish or Old Russian translations. I have about eight other document scans that I would like to get translations on but have been trying to stay within the five per month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you so much,&lt;br /&gt;
Gabby&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Gabby,&lt;br /&gt;
Glad I could help!&lt;br /&gt;
I know it is challenging to learn to read these records yourself. You did well to spot Bartlomiej's name near the top of these two records. I hope you go back to them and try to spot the mother's name as well. It will show up as &amp;quot;Anny z Kukielkow&amp;quot; which makes it a bit tricky, but the rules of grammar force some changes to the endings of names. Anyway, take a look because it may assist you in finding other siblings.&lt;br /&gt;
I'm happy to see that Marcel provided both translations for you yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;
Best of luck in your search,&lt;br /&gt;

Two birth records in Polish: One is birth of Maciej Garbula 1829, scan 36, page 296 149/323, Tomaszow Lub.  Second one is birth of Wojciech Garbula 1834, scan 34, 67/335, Tomaszow Lub. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do they both share the same Father, ie brothers, as I can see a Bartlomiej Garbula in both records near the top of each record?  Maciej may be my Great Grandfather, and Bartlomiej my Great Great Grandfather.  Waiting your translations.&lt;br /&gt;

I did give copies of some records to my brother-in- laws, mother-in-law who was born in Poland and came here as a young child and has been part of the Polish community for years, but I have not heard back from her for several months. So I have become dependent on this site for Polish or Old Russian translations. I have about eight other document scans that I would like to get translations on but have been trying to stay within the five per month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you so much,&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Hi Gabby,&lt;br /&gt;
I'm sure Marcel will come back to this, he always does, and give you the translation that he is working on. In the meantime, I can help you with the basic question you asked: Do these two birth records have the same father? Yes, they do. Bartlomiej Garbula is the father, and the mother is Anna (maiden name Kukielka) for both records.&lt;br /&gt;
Hope this helps,&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Vico11 if you are the one working on my translations, my reply is that I am patiently waiting to see the information, if someone else is doing it please advise.  I have no problem with a &amp;quot;Thank you&amp;quot; gift as I have done in the past. It seems like it is taking a lot longer for translations.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you&lt;br /&gt;

Two birth records in Polish: One is birth of Maciej Garbula 1829, scan 36, page 296 149/323, Tomaszow Lub.  Second one is birth of Wojciech Garbula 1834, scan 34, 67/335, Tomaszow Lub. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do they both share the same Father, ie brothers, as I can see a Bartlomiej Garbula in both records near the top of each record?  Maciej may be my Great Grandfather, and Bartlomiej my Great Great Grandfather.  Waiting your translations.&lt;br /&gt;
