Just an update.  I did locate the birth certificate for my great grand father Stanislaw Karejwa from the Bialystok archives and that document is being sent to me.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, I agree the church letters are a long shot, but never assume, so I will see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have already some dialog with the national records at Bialystok.  But I will send out a email to the other agency you kindly listed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will let you know how it turns out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks again,&lt;br /&gt;

If I were I would write either to the Civil Register Office (USC = Urzad Stanu Cywilnego), if the records are less than 100 years old, or to the Archiwum Panstwowe , if the records are older than 100 years. Parishes are not obliged to perform genealogical searches: it will depend on priest's will.&lt;br /&gt;

The link for the church was very helpful.  The church email does not go through so I have prepared letters to go out tomorrow to the pastor and vicars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good question about the surname ending in an &amp;quot;a&amp;quot;.  Karejwa is what we have on all documents, even for the men.  If you don't mind me asking, to learn from you, were did you pull the forty names from Bialystok area and the five from Kalinowska Krolewska?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks in advance,&lt;br /&gt;

The Karejwa surname is no nonexistent in modern Poland with changing of &amp;quot;a&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;e&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;o&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;u&amp;quot;.

&lt;br /&gt;
I don't know if Karejwa is the feminine form of the surname. In case it is, there is about 40 Karejwo in Byalostok area. I have found 5 of them in Kalinowska Krolewska, a place located about 10 miles nort of Chraboly. They are members of Nasza Klasa, a very popular social network in Poland.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Looking for Karejwa descendants.  The Karejwa surname is no nonexistent in modern Poland with changing of &amp;quot;a&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;e&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;o&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;u&amp;quot;.  I have eight variant spellings in the documents that I have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am aware of the national records at Bialystok and CLDS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking for any one researching this or a similar surname.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am also having some challenge finding the parish for this village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
