I am still seeking information on Stasik family, house #99, Brzeziny. I would like to find out if maybe there are any Stasiks left in that area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I just returned from Poland and visited St. Nicholas' Church where my great-grandmother Victoria (Zbylut) (of house #13) and many, many of her family members were baptized, etc. The priest gave me a blessing in the church, allowed us access to records and gave us a thorough history of St. Nicholas' Church which included a walk through the museum that was the old rectory. I would have to say we were with him for several hours. I do not recall his name off hand, but he was very nice. I was fortunate enough to have a cousin's cousin living there from the maternal side of my family (my Polish side is paternal side) and he served as my translator. He looked at the documents, took photos of them and is in the process of transcribing them. About what years are you looking at? I will message him to see if he sees the Stasik name in any of the photographs of the records.
In addition to my friend (my cousins, cousin), I was accompanied by a Cousin as well as a family friend (Mary) in the village that took us to almost every house that might have been tied to the surnames in my family. She knew everyone! I will email my cousin to see if she can ask her if Mary might be able to find the name.
We took tons of photos of the church...I also took video of the interior (incredible!!!)! The grounds surrounding the church have much more vegetation today, than the other photographs here show.
If you've not had the opportunity to visit since your post, and plan to, I could give you loads of travel advice and things to be prepared for that I wish I knew about prior to my trip. I'm happy to share any photos that I took during my visit
Feel free to PM me

Thanks so much, Zenon!
It was interesting, to say the very least.
I did try to upload a couple of the photographs of the church (inside and out), however, the file size was too large. I will have to size them again and post them.
Thank you for the links to the other topics. I will gladly go there and post about the things I wish I knew before I went.
