Does anyone have information on this village? It is located south of Krakow and populated by many Lemkos (Ukrainians transplanted by Russia to validate their claim to Poland.) My paternal grandparents immigrated from there and I would like any pictures or stories from the 1800s, early 1900s. I did try to visit but got lost because "to get there from here you have to hike over two mountain ranges". To get there by car you have to go through Slovenia and then double back. We didn't make it. Next time we'll go directly there. Thanks for any help you can give.
