Last name Natkaniec

have just started to look for my family and wondered if anybody has heard of my name?
any help appreciated

Jacek Natkaniec used to work as a PE teacher in our school in Krakow. He lives in the country close to Kraków.

Kraków and its environs are the unquestioned ancestral stronghold of the Natkaniec clan. For more information please contact: research60@gmail

oooooo im part of a clan eh???

thanks a lot for your replies, keep them coming

Yes, correct. And here is the most recent visualization of Jacek Natkaniec:

You need to found out the town of birth for your Natkaniec, since records are held at the this level.

JOZEF WILHEIM NATKANIEC. BORN IN JWANOWICE CRACOW POLAND. 12TH MARCH 1908 DIED IN ENGLAND 18TH JANUARY 1979

can anybody please help

I guess you would have to contact the Urząd Stanu Civilnego (office of civil affairs) in the town where he was born. Possibly and/or the state archive in Krakow.

You'll also need to bring proof that you are directly related to him

I think it should be: IWANOWICE

I am not sure that that is the case at the state archives. From what I understand from the Krakow Archive website you can get this info by just filling out a form if it's for genealogical purposes.

archiwum.krakow.pl/menueng.php

I could be wrong though, and it could well be you are right for the USC too.

Bring proof????

but im in the UK

Does it have to be done in person?

To be honest with you this will be very difficult unless you speak Polish and go to these places in person...

If I were you I would get a Polish speaker to call the USC and maybe the archive as a start.

Any offers?????

dont understand what all that means
here are the only details i have
