I was given a phone number to "Lochka family" that used to live in Grodno and now are in Gdynia. I am looking for my Grandmothers family, Maria Lochka Celinska. I was given this message:My English is not very good

... na tyle, zeby napisac w tym jezyku ze zrozumieniem.

Przetlumaczylem sobie jednak na j. polski pierwsza wiadomosc od Carol.
"Moja rodzina zyla na Kresach do lutego 1940 r., mam trudnosci
w zlokalizowaniu rodziny mojej babci Marii Lochka."

Teraz prosba do tych z Panstwa, ktorzy potrafia wytlumaczyc Carol w
j. angielskim, zeby przekazac, ze w Polsce zyja rodziny o nazwisku
Lochki (pan), Lochka (pani). Moze nalezy tych rodzin zapytac, skad
pochodza i zagadka bedzie rozwiazana.
Odszukalem w tym celu nr telefonu do Barbary Lochkiej z Gdyni
Tel. 0048586643586

many Polish people use Skype and polish messenger gadugadu .. some use other messengers like yahoo and msn and aim etc.

Skype is your one where by you chat over the internet but i know a few that use it

English is more common in the younger generations of polish people so i would say those up to age 35years over this age i would say its common for them to speak Polish or Russian but i could be wrong as i am British learning the polish language.
