You may you will be hard pressed to find anything that existed before the war, other than those buildings rebuilt after it. The only thing that springs to mind is the Lazienki Park, but that belonged to the Poniatowski family.

Poland had been partitioned and had come under Austrian rule. That may explain Polish as her native language. Russia also helped itself to parts of Poland. You need to compare the history with the years they were born and lived.
Rose states she was born in Austria, as were her parents. She notes Polish as her native language.

The website baza.archiwa.gov.pl mentioned by nana has reference to a De La Croix in 1864 but in Plock which was/is considered as in the Province of Warsaw. But can't find any reference to a hotel with reference to a mirror. There are many variants on the spelling of DeCroix maybe these need to be explored too.

Travel / Zakopane in April [7]
Assuming you mean a motorbike, you will find the roads will get progressively steeper and more winding. Myslewice is just over 300m above sea level and Zakopane is 715metres however Zakopane is lower than the mountains you will passing through.
Weather-wise - there is still a possibility of snow on the ground. This year for instance, the snow started melting beginning of April in Zakopane, but higher there was still snow. Temperature was around 10 degrees C.
As the area is mountainous the snow keeps longer than further inland

Just looked at the ship's manifest (the written not the transcribed version) It's Brzozówka.
The one near Tarnów came under Galicja but so did one in Białoruś
There are some scant details on the net about the place.
I've just looked it up again. Anyone born in the village near Tarnow would find birth registration details in Lisia Gora as Brzozowka was too small to keep records. It is the Lisia Gora near Tarnow. Hope this helps.

It is difficult to say whether the expression was written in a positive or negative way. However, one would imagine if the person was troublesome to the Russians she would have been sent further east to Siberia. Potentially she could have pretended to be communist to survive. Her subsequent involvement may indicate whether she was a communist or not.
Do you think this was writen in docs in a good or a bad way? :-)
