My mother's uncle and his wife, Adolf and Helen (or Helą) Kasner, lived from at least 1949 probably until they each died (Adolf in the early 1960's and Helen probably in the 1970's) at Ulica 10 Kochanowskiego, Katowice, Poland. Adolf was born about 1882 and Helen about 1897. I think they might have had a store at this location. My mother (who died in 1980) corresponded in Polish with Helen for many years after Adolf died.
On the internet I found that an art gallery appears to be located at Ulica 10 Kochanowskiego, Katowice, Poland - the website is parnas.com.pl, and it has email at parnas@parnas.com.pl. Using an online translator I still could not understand most of the information on the web site, and I only know a few words of Polish.
I would like to send an email to this art gallery (in Polish) like:
My relatives, Adolf and Helen (or Helą) Kasner, lived from at least 1949 probably until they each died (Adolf in the early 1960's and Helen probably in the 1970's) at Ulica 10 Kochanowskiego, Katowice, Poland. Adolf was born about 1882 and Helen about 1897. I think they might have had a store at this location.
Do you have any information at all about the people who previously occupied your building? Do you know anyone else who might have information - perhaps a neighbor of your gallery who has been at the same location for many years?
I would especially like to find out if Adolf and Helen Kasner have any children or grandchildren or other family members still living in Poland. I would also very much like to see a photo of the outside of your building to see if it looks at all like a very old photo I have of a store that had the name H Kasner above the door.
Thank you very much for any information you can provide to me.
Could someone translate this into Polish for me? Any additional suggestions would be very welcome!
