Genealogy / Looking for Viekkich (Wielkie?) Oczy, town in Poland [4]

I Googled Viekkich Oczy, Poland, and came up with Wielkie Oczy

I then entered this name into Google Maps and found that Wielkie Oczy is located just West of the Ukraine border, East of Krakow, North of Przemysl and South of Lublin.

Perhaps this is the town you are looking for.
Coming from the "States", that's the best I can do!

Perhaps you could give us a little more information about your search... your needs are very vague.

Trying to find guest poster "sloviak"

I am trying to get in touch with "sloviak", who answered my post on March 2, 2007.

It was concerning our STEMPORA genealogy. He (Michael Stempora) is my cousin, and I would like to speak with him.

Any help would be appreciated.

USA, Canada / Obtaining Church Records in U.S. [19]

Koach,
The Archdiocese of Joliet has many Catholic Parishes.

Holy Cross Catholic Church address is:
Rev. Christopher Groh, Pastor
Holy Cross Church
901 Elizabeth Street
Joliet, IL 60435-4684 USA

Sts.Cyril and Methodius Church address is:
Rev. James Pajkos, OFM, Pastor
Saints Cyril and Methodius Church
704 Landau Avenue
Joliet, IL 60432-1938 USA

St. Nicholas Church was a Russian Orthodox church but is now:
Annunciation of Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Parish
14610 Will Cook Road
Homer Glen, IL 60491 USA

They are also connected to the original Mt. Calvary Cemetary, so you might ask them if they could advise you on how to obtain burial records.

Most churches and cemetaries in the US are very busy and are understaffed, especially when it comes to searching for records. Genealogy is very popular in the US now and everyone is searching for records.

You might want to send a letter of inquiry as to how to obtain their records, if they still have them and if there is a service charge. I would include your E-mail address so that they might want to answer you this way.

I wish you success!

PS. Do you have a FHC in Poland ?

Thank you for taking the time to search for this information. I do already have it and was hoping that I could find someone in Poland who actually knows of the family, or if any of them still exist in the town of Podhorce.

I still cannot find any record of Clemens immigrating, whilst I have found those of Bartholomew, Adam and Josef.
I believe that Adam must be a cousin, and did not even know of Josef being a brother until recently.
Thank you again for your help.
Sincerely, GrandeSande
