Our family just found a tape done by my grandfather of where he, and his family grew up in Poland. It shows the school he attended. The church he, and his brothers helped rebuilt. Where our family is buried, ie my great grandmother. My grandfather pasted away in 1999. During our grieving all addresses of Family in Ploand where lost. I think I found my Great-Aunts address. I don't speak, or write Polish. But, I am going to try to contact her by mail. If anyone has any, and all information on the Pilecki's, or Hadam. Please contact me. I think we are family. Also there are about 15 family memebers here in America planning to visit Poland in About 2 years. We would like to meet our cousins in Poland. My grandfather's name was Frank, his Wife is Stella. They lived in New Jersey, then Florida. He visited Poland almost every 5 years from 1960 to 1999. Also any tips people for traveling to Gwoznica, or Rozeszow. We plan to rent cars,or a van. But, we are going to be a large group, so any hotels, restruants. Please give us any input.

Maybe send a Christmas card. That way you can write a short note for her to confirm if you are indeed related. It might help if you include an addressed, return envelope. Also include an e-mail address... then a younger English speaking member of the family or a friend of your Great-Aunt might reply.

A short note wouldn't be a problem for someone on the forum to translate.
Don't use an online dictionary-translator.

Have you checked the name and address in the phone book ? It might be easier to phone, but not always wiser.

Thankyou so much I am going to try that. My grandfather made a tape 1985. So we are still getting information in order. He knew a lot of people in Poland.
