Post subject: Need help in Poland locating ancestors - Gnaty
Mój pradziadek Feliks Niesluchowski (ur. 1882) wyemigrował do Ameryki z Gnatach, Polska z przełomu 20 wieku i potrzebujesz pomocy w znalezieniu kogoś w obszarze Gnatach kto mi może pomóc odnaleźć resztę rodziny Feliksa. Jakieś sugestie?
In English: My great grandfather Felix Niesluchowski (Born 1882) immigrated to America from Gnaty, Poland during the turn of the 20th century and I need help finding someone in Gnaty, Poland area who can help me find the rest of Felix's family. Any suggestions?

There are a number of Gnaty, all in woj mazowieckie. about 50-150 km from Warszawa.
1) pow. ostrołęcki, gmina Lelis. parish Ostrołęka
2) 5 villages named Gnaty plus a name, pow. sierpecki, pow. pułtuski. gmina Winnica, parish Winnica
3) pow. sierpecki, gmina Gozdowo
4) Gnaty-Soczewka, pow mazowieckie, gmina Klukowo, parish Kuczyn

Enter the parish name and click on the result.
Each of the parishes show researchers that have ancesters from the parish.
Try contacting them via that site (free registration) and add your name to the site giving the surname for which you are searching.

That is my dilemma. I don't know which one of the multiple Gnaty villages he came from. Another dilemma, I don't speak, or write in Polish and when i went to the website you listed in your post, I could not register. I even hit the "english" button but all the posts are written in Polish.

Welcome to the Forum Josephfed  ,
Do you possibly have any document/record in which there is entered the name of your great grandfather's place of birth (or last residence)? If you uploaded it here who knows, maybe some of us would find a hint to tell you WHICH Gnaty is YOUR Gnaty.

Hi,
Geneteka database shows two Feliks Niesluchowski, born in 1880 and 1883 (close to your dates, therefore), in Winnica, mazowieckie province.
Winnica is located just 2 miles from 3 places named Gnaty: Gnaty-Lewiski, Gnaty-Wiesniany and Gnaty-Szczerbaki.
IMHO, chances are one of them is your Feliks. By the way, I could not find his entry in Ellis Island. Did he arrive through other port? His manifest may contain a clue that may lead you to the right path.
If you were able to register in Genealodzy, here is a text in polish you can send to the volunteer who transcribed those entries above.
From my experience, I can tell you that some volunteers keep a copy of the records they transcribed. I have been lucky in getting the ones I needed, so I hope you will be too. The volunteer goes by the nickname Sarna215. Since there is no way to know if it is a man or a woman you could write to both genders:
Witam,
Zauwazylem, ze pan/pani przepisywal/przepisywala ponizej rejestr:
Czy pan/pani posiada dodatkowe informacje na ten rejestr?
Jak ja moge otrzymac kopie od tego rejestru?
Z góry bardzo dziekuje
Pozdrawiam

I have noticed that you(male)/you(female transcribed the record below:
Do you/you have additional information on this/these record(s)?
What should I do to get a copy of this/these record(s)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
(signature)

Sir, Thank you very much for the information you provided. I was able to register at Genealodzy so now I will submit request to Sarna215 because one of the 2 Feliks' has to be my ancestor. FYI, I don't know if Felix arrived at Ellis Island.

Can you explain how I can send Sarna215 a private message about my dilemma once I log on to Genealodzy?

On his WWII draft registration card it lists Felix's birthday as 27 August 1882
