Thank You Very Much, for the fast reply. I know there have are a lot of Zaworas' from Wysoka, and Hysne that have emigrated to America, but I cant seem to connect to them. I have found some Zaworas' also in Austrailia who are from Sucha Bieskidza this family must have moved around a lot. Two of my uncles emigrated from Lachowice. So you see what i am up against. Thank You Again. The Siuta is a very large family, and many of them have emigrated here, so it's really hard to connect that family because of frequent misspelling of the name I have seen it in records as Sinta, Shuda, Suita, and Siula. Much of the misspellings occurred at Ellis Island due to many of the immigrants being illiterate, and the registraters writing down what they heard.

My Grandpa Aleksander Zawora was born in Krzywa, near Czarna in Sedziszow Malopolksi on 6 Jan. 1884. My Grandma was Aniela Siuta and she was born in Niebylec, Ropcyce. I Remember after WWII as a boy helping to package staples to send to family in Poland with my Grandma, Sugar, coffee, and she always put a few dollars wrapped in wax paper stuffed in side the coffee container. After I grew up and the older generation had passed, I wondered where and to whom we had sent those packages. So now I find myself on the search for answers, with no one left to ask. Both my grandparents had siblings that also came to America. I know about some of them, and their families, but I would like to know what happened to the families in Poland, and if there are relatives still there. I also have cousins here in America from my Grandma's sisters marriage. Their name is Polewczak, they are descended from Joseph George Polewczak from Blizianka. I have a limited understanding of Polish, so am reluctant to phone over there. I would appreciate any help from anyone connected to these villages or families.
