Hi Bill,

Thanks for your help translating, I appreciate you taking the time to do this. As a sidenote, my family is also Górale. My great-great grandfather and great-great grandmother came from Stare Bystre. My grandfather was born in Maruszyna, and there's still Zeglens living around the area, particularly in Odrowaz. Anyway, I like the Górale forum. Keep up the good work!

-Dave

Hello again,

I've come across an ancestor who I've been looking for for awhile now. I may have a lead on his children's whereabouts, except that I can't seem to fully decipher what's written on the back of one of the photographs I found of him and his wife and child. Something about living far away?

Could someone take a quick look at this and tell me what it says. I did a contrast boost in Photoshop to bring out the ink. It's not very long. Any insights would be most appreciated.

Thanks all!

-Dave
