to find out if I have any living relatives in Poland. In May, I went to Brzyska Wola, Poland visiting the village where my grandmother was born. I couldn't find any "Kruk's" still in the village and nobody would talk to us about the Kruk family. Other than this, it was a trip of a lifetime for me. We found records of my grandmother's baptismal, which we were told that were lost. That is anther story, my question is: do you know how I can find out if I have any relatives in Poland? I plugged in "Kruk, Poland" into Facebook and got a thousand hits. I plugged in "Kruk, Brzyska Wola, Poland" and received no hits. I asked Maciej Orzechowski of Przemysl, Poland and others to help; but they haven't come up with anything yet. If you can't help, I'm going to give up; because I don't know where else to turn. Thanks in Advance, [email protected] |

Hi, There is so many Kruk's in today Poland, that you cannot do anything with only that name, see http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/kruk.html I understand you have acts from Brzyska Wola, near Leżajsk, in Podkarpackie. I think the only way to go is to start from those acts, gather other names (families and villages). National Archives for that area of Poland are a pain (euphemism). From what I could observe parishes are not helping much. Either they do not have archives. Or they do, but it's too much work and cost for them to scan it and put online. The worst situation would be they have archives and do not want to disclose it. Good luck! Elzbieta |
