Skibniewski's Where are you now?

I am looking for the descendants of my great uncle. Unfortunately it was easy to look for distant relatives but now that it is under 100 years access to the archives doesn't help. He was married to Głębocka on 25 Nov 1924 in Zambrów (1st names have been ommitted for privacy) I am open to all suggestions. If somone is willing to help post and/or email me privately and i will give you more information. I am trying to reach out to living relatives in Poland if there are any left.

You can try the Polish Red Cross tracing service, consult a genealogical firm or hire a private detective agency.

Well I am currently using a professional now who has accessed the archives for me. I want to post his findings but am not sure if that is against the rules here. The pro said it would be very difficult to move forward (easy to go back) because records under 100 years old have restricted access. They are held at the registry offices and only civil clerks have access. The problem is I have the names of my great uncle and his wife and the date which they got married but no dates for thier children nor names. I was told this is the paradox of Polish law. That I need the information I am searching for to access the information I seek.

I have also attempted to contact a dectective agency in Warsaw but no response yet.

Havn't tried the Red Cross. I will give that a shot .Thank you for the post :)

Have you done name checks at nasza klasa. pl ....facebook etc ?

There might be some WWII info available: military records, death camp records.

Have you checked old directories (business/phone directories)

Have you placed information on a Zambrów (or nearest town) website or asked for information ?

Have you left messages at ancestry.com or genealogy.com

check your PM's

Hello Moderator,

I am curious if I am allowed to list my family history hoping that someone may recognize someone and contact me?

I am a member of nasza-klasa.pl but it doesn't help cause i can't speak or read Polish.

I havn't tried the WWII death camps yet i will give those a try. Although my family was Roman Catholic, I don't think it really mattered back than who was who.

I havn't posted to the town website yet but I will try. I assumed it would be in Polish.

Yes it's possible for you to list your family history here, providing that it's related to Poland of course. ;)

If you are using text from another website then you may provide a link to that website. Or you can manually type your family history onto here and I hope that someone can help you. :)

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Numbers 6 and 9 i believe are the most relevant being they were married and most probably had children.

I want to thank Wroclaw for his wonderful advice. I did check out nasza klasa. pl as he suggested. It was difficult as this is a Polish site and I don't speak Polish but after a lot of copy and pasting on a translator site I was able to figure it out. I was able to find my second cousin once removed on nasza klasa. pl. I can't thank you enough.
