I used to go to high school with a girl whose last name was Gladysz (very smart person). But she lived in the Wroclaw area...

Hi, do you remember the given name of the person that you attended school with?

Yes, her first name is Agnieszka (but it's very common name). She lived in Swidnica.

Interesting information you provided. Can you tell me how long ago this was and do you still live in/near that area? Do you have any knowledge of anyone with the surname Maciejak who lived(lives) in Swidnica? The two names (Gladysz and Maciejak) I believe are connected.

FYI Maciejak is a very common surname in Poland

It was a few years ago; I believe her family still lives in Swidnica, but as far as I know she lives either in Wroclaw or Poznan where she graduated from university.

But I don't know any "Maciejak" though...

Merged: Winogrodzka family of Turza and Julian Kawecki

Dear Friends,

I am researching my ancestry and have found several links to Turza Rzepiennik Strzyzewski Poland. My maternal grandmother Cecylia Winogrodzka, and many of her relatives (Apolonia, Marianna, Stefania W.) left Poland in the beginning of the 20th Century, between 1906-1912. One Marianna Winogrodzka and her husband Julian Kawecki returned to Poland and resided there until 1950. He became an architect in Krakow. I would appreciate any information about either family.
