Tommorow my wife and I are off on our trip to Poland. For me it is only my second visit the first being in 2006. On that trip it was purely a sight seeing venture as at the time I was unaware of any relatives or where they lived.
After that trip I started researching my family roots and have discovered many closely related people. Two aunties on my fathers side of the family and another 2 aunties on my mothers side are still living and naturally they all have immeadiate family.
My father had 5 brothers and 5 sisters and my mother have 4 sisters and 2 brothers. Of the Uncles and aunties that are not living I have found many of their immeadiate families and made contact with them by phone and email and now I am looking forward to finally meeting them (as many as I can)
When in Poland the travelling will begin again as these family members are scattered over many parts of poland.
My fathers family are mainly in the area between Gydnia and Grudziac. My mother family are more scattered, some being in the Wroclaw area and others in Zelona Gori area and others in the Kielce area.
I think I will need the whole 10 weeks that I have to get around to all these visits.
I will report back at the end of this trip on any interesting occurences.
