Hello
I am searching for records of my g-grandparents residence and marriage and children in Brzozow and Blizne Poland (previously Galicia-Austria) Podkarpackie Province. Their names would have been John Frodyma and Anna Dragula (found in son Frank's American marriage record). I estimate their births around 1840-1860. They had children Stanislaw (b.1880 e.1904), Joseph (b.1883 e.1901) and Frank (b.1887 e.1905) - although I recently discovered a note that references other children including John (Junior I am assuming) Martin, Phillip, and two sisters whose names are unknown. I suspect there was a second marriage for one of the g-grandparents - but I can't confirm. We think our Anna was listed in the Tarnow church books as being born in Ostrow, Ostrow, Rzeszow but I can't confirm until I have a marriage record. The three boys Stan, Joe, and Frank emigrated to the U.S. (last residence Blizne). Frank always spoke about being from Brzozow but we don't know if that was referencing the place at the county level or district or gmina etc.

I have seen index listings in Geneteka website of Frodymas in Frystak and F-Pulanki and Glinik Dolny and I suspect they are somehow related, but I want to keep my focus on the target towns of Brzozow and Blizne since those are the ones mentioned in family oral history and emigration documents.

As suggested in this forum discussion, I guess I will try to send a letter to the local Roman Catholic church priests and town civil district archive offices. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with letter writing for those locations or knows someone with the Frodyma surname in either of the towns mentioned above who I could correspond with and compare notes?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Sharon
