Mieszkam w Stanach Zjednoczonych

That's right, I live in the USA, but thanks to a handy Polish letter writing guide, I can cut and paste such useful phrases as "The following individual is my ancestor who was born in Poland" and "Please send me a complete extract of the death record." There's nothing better than a Polish phrase to make me feel like a "stewpeed amairicain." We'll see if anyone at św. Katarzyna in Nowy Targ, Polska responds...

We're looking for this man, Franciszek Wystrach, my (paternal, paternal, maternal) great-great grandfather.

  1. Awesome picture! You are making me feel motivated (aka guilty). I'm the one with the family history degree and you're the one doing all the work. What is wrong with this picture? Actually, I'm just really excited that the bug has bit you! Good luck with Poland research! I wish I knew some helpful hints but I know absolutely nothing about Polish research. Now, if those Polish people ever move to Great Britain, let me know!
