USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]
I think you may be a bit of 'all of the above', right?
I thought you were asking that of z_darius, not me.
Not at all - good people can disagree. No harm, no foul.
It's unfortunate I gave you this wrong impression of me.
You're Welcome, T! :)

Genealogy / Searching for Cousin in Warsaw Poland name:Małgorata Kralczynska [19]
My comment was about the efforts of Bzibzioh and pgtx helping in John's search.
As for me, the records that I had managed to locate were birth, marriage, death
and travel documents from 1910s-1930s Poland - some of which I found at BYU.
So, to answer your questions: I did find most of this information via the internet;
still, seeing the results here, I may have been better off just asking people at PF!
Oh well, too late. I'm already a Polish Citizen just awaiting a PESEL and passport.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]
Actually, there's quite a lot to be said in that...
Here are Three More for the Road...
"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men who, even if their action be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom." - Woodrow Wilson; 1912.
"We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world--no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson; 1912.

"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." - Mayer Rothschild; 1790.

And I re-fixed it for you.
The Capitalists have been killing innocent people for a long time, and to this day it is against democratic processes around the world.
How can that not mean that Capitalists hate all people, except for themselves of course.
160 million people last century - deaths ultimately financed (and profited) by Capitalists.

In case this has not been suggested, Brigham Young University has an extensive database.

American technology to produce shale gas is unleashing a scramble for drilling rights in Poland, where experts believe vast reserves of unconventional gas exist that could help to weaken Russia’s grip on Europe’s energy supplies.
