annab 6 | 23 13 Nov 2005 / #1Hi,I am looking for my deceased father's family; he was born in Poland. He came from a small village that I cannot possibly locate. I have tried contacting parishes in different places to see if they could help, but nobody responded. Maybe, there is a procedure I am not aware of, or a place I should contact to get my research started.As I am aging, I would like to find my Polish family before it is too late. If anybody can give me any hints how to proceed, I would truly appreciate it. I know other people have been successful in locating their Polish relatives, so I though someone who knows what to do would see my post and give me some advice.Thank you.Anna

OP annab 6 | 23 16 Nov 2005 / #3Eric,My father emigrated from Poland as a young man. He probably neglected correspondence with his relatives and over time lost touch. I have a number of relatives from my mother's side, but I do think knowing where the other side of my family comes from is important. I know the name of the village where my father was born, but there are at least two other small villages with the same name and my attempts of contacting local parishes brought no results.Any suggestions?Thanks,Anna

Guest 27 Nov 2005 / #6Anna, When did your father Pass away? recent?If you know his social Security Number, you can probably write tothem and get his original application. it will have his parents nameson it. also, there is a way if he came himself from poland, and has aGreen card, and no naturalization, then you can write to your localoffice and get his info from them, I wrote for my grandmothers paperscause she didnt become citizen of United states, and they sent methe boat she came on, her friend, paperwork she had to fill out etcit shows the towns in which they came. that would be your bestroute. Email me Nightwhisper19@aol.com I will try to find the localoffice ok :) Patricia.Anna , What is your fathers Name? Do you live in united states? or poland?did he live here too? more info is needed to help you, I am usually prettygood at finding things here in united states to start. Patricia
