Genealogy / My grandmothers: Zbysheski and Simpsi. [7]


also maryja or marja as those were the way to spell Mary way back then

zbyszeski but in case of a female make sure to search for zbyszeska.

it is also highly possible that the surname is actually spelled: Zbyszewski/a

also, this name may or may not have anything to do with the name Zbigniew.

Simpsi is almost definitely not a polish (slavic) name.

News / Polish man goes on trial for defaming the Polish president [7]

he/they do it fine themselves. lol


right you are but spitting image or SNL are satirical shows thus "immune" from suites but this guys wrote this defamatory stuff on a website which is basically the same as a news paper in the eyes of the courts. so he has to deal with the consequences.

personally, i think all politicians should be ready to be for critisims of the highest level as they are in public view and are supposed to serve us. when they don't then they themselves have to deal with our feelings towards them. what's fair is rair, no?
