Life / Moving to Poland - Wrocław/Gdańsk? [11]


because of the rivers canals and number of bridges.


this relates to business.


there are a few tags for this city. wroclove is the most idiotic of them.

wroclaw is always talking about IT, but finding the right job is not so easy.

wroclaw does indeed reach out to all with its various music programmes.

wroclaw will be making a bigger effort with regard to culture as it is/or hopes to be 'city of culture 2016

we also have the 'world games' in a few years. not sure when.

wroclaw is friendly enough and one can manage alone. having a couple of friends with shared interests makes it great.

Get a job... and that will decide which city you move to.

Love / Polish girls want to be dominated. Fact? [63]

the christmas period is not a good time to be planning anything. too much turmoil going on, things getting in the way.

moving into the area and setting up what might appear to be the family home is sending the message of marriage.

she may have been thinking too much, too fast.

i could be completely wrong though.

Law / Public Photography Laws [9]


most folks would and do. if, and that's a big if, someone complains you only have to delete it. it's not going to result in loss of freedom.

flickr has a set of rules. all you have to do is follow them. they also state the law regarding copyright etc.

more than two. but it doesn't matter. treat the past as one time, but with different aspects. same for present.

Language / New Dialects in Western and Northern Poland [24]


the problem is the continuous movement of people.

in the uk the bbc and others have been recording old folk as they speak. it's all because the old language is dying out. an example in the uk would be cornish. no longer spoken, but thankfully recorded.

folks would have to act quickly to preserve any differences in Polish language, before those differences disappear.

moikrewni.pl may have the answer.

Rob, you only need to ask once , someone will help you as much as they possibly can.

here is some information from ancestry.com (link provided) boards.ancestry.com/surnames.michaliszyn/15/mb.ashx

if your just starting to do research, you must first try to get as much family information as possible or you will
be searching blindly.

ask for old documents that show town names, where they lived locally, church records, old pictures etc.
gather as much as you can so you can identify all records in your searches as there will be duplicate's with same
surname and if you dont have correct ages and correct information, you will end up with the wrong documentation.

just some helpful hints :)

good luck.
