Hello,

I am trying to see if I can find cemetery records or images of grave stones for Wyszny Kosciene, I tried searching all of the cites but was unable to find any cemetery from Wyszny Kosciene. Does anyone have any suggestions or guidance? Thank you.

Hi,

I am having the same difficulty that you are having finding any websites that include gravestone photos from the cemetery in Wyszyny Kościelne (note the spelling). You can get a general look at the cemetery by going to google maps and using the "street view" to see it. I am attaching a screenshot of what that looks like. I would guess, however, that you want to see specific graves.

I will point out that the website for the parish has a section for articles, and there is one regarding the renovation of the cemetery chapel back in 2022. It consists of photos rather than text. In the photos you can see that there are names on plaques on the chapel which appear to be WWII era deaths, including one Feliks Masiak that I am also attaching a screenshot of. Is there a Feliks (in English: Felix) Masiak in your tree?

Here is a link to that article on the church website:

https://parafiawyszyny.eu/kaplica-cmentarna-po-remoncie-zdjecia/

Next to each name is the letter L which refers to the person's age (for Feliks it was left blank) and then the year of death.

You may wish to contact the parish to ask whether the gravestone(s) of whomever you are searching for still exist. As you might already know, grave sites are rented and not permanent. It is not uncommon for rentals to last for 20 years and unless the family extends this, the grave site is re-used, so many of the older graves will not be found.

Hope this helps,
Sophia
