Genealogy / DeAmong, DeCroix - Finding a countess [15]

I am looking for a countess with the name that I have as: Bronislava DeAmong,
born in Poland no date but it would be somewhere mid 1800s as she died around the late 1800s. She married a man born in Sweden and his name is Adolph Gronland DeCroix.

This countess is the mother of Josephine Gronland DeCroix, (this is whom I am seeking more information on)

This countess died very young. I have no other information but am looking. It is understood that she came from a long line of countesses and counts. Perhaps when she was born she is connected to Russia in some way due to the changing of border lines back then.

Please if you can help me in any way write to me at lightalma@hotmail. My name is Dale Leslie, This is english name but in Polish will be different? I have been asking before but now have her name at least.

The name DeAmong arisotocrats Polish

I am looking for the name DeAmong a family name connected to arisoticrats of Poland during the 1800s. The grandmother lived in the mountains, had this old name. The first name sounds ok but the second doesnt seem polish. Perhaps there was a town with that name? We know that French DeCroix married this woman Bronoslovia DeAmong.

Maybe the French were in that area then. This would be 1850s to 1900.

If anyone can help me with the name. I am coming to Poland in June to search for this name and people. Thanks so much.

Sincerely,
Leslie

Travel / WHAT TO WEAR END OF JUNE FIRST WEEKS OF JULY IN WARSAW [25]

Well I am on my way in 3 weeks to Warsaw to do some genelology work. Since airlines are reducing weight. What should I wear.
I will take jeans, shirts and pants 3/4 length. Casual. Will that be ok? Also can you tell me do I need a jacket or a sweater? Will that suffice.?

What are the usual temperatures for then. I hate lots of rainy days but sounds like that is what to expect.

Oh another question. Is changing American Dollars at airport a good place to do it.
Thanks for your help.

Genealogy / The Belweder Palace (Amann / Chrzanowska) [2]

Hello,
I have been here before but have some new information and would really appreciate if anyone can help me? In looking for an ancestor, I have found the birth certificate of someone who was born at 1721A Aleja Street in 1847. Name Bronislawa Amann. Her Father was Jan Amann and mother Jozefa nee Chrzanowska.

Now I was told by an genealogist who is search for Bronislawa's daughter (born later in (1886) told me that address is the Belweder Palace. Jan Amann the father was a restorer/conservator of the Royal Park of Lazienki. The State owned this palace in those years and mortgaged parts out to people, perhaps workers of the park.

The story I have in a biography book is that when Bronislawa married Adolph Jan Gronland they had little Josephine and lived in a palatial estate on a hill overlooking Lazienski park. When I went online I saw that this Belweder palace does that. Now I realize they did not own it or live in the whole thing. Bronislawa and Adolph whose named sometime in those years changed to Count DeCroix. Lived with the grandmother.

My question is this, is there any way I can find out more about who lived there since with this information?
Also Adolph was a Tobacco Manufacturer.

There are accounts in little Josephine's journals that she would watch her parents dancing in a big ballroom with soldiers etc around. That would be approx. 1890 to 1891.

Is there a book or something. I have been everywhere and cannot seem to get anything. If there is anyone on this forum that can guide me. I would absolutely be estatic as it has been a long search.

Thanks for much for reading my long letter. I sure hope somebody will write me back.

God bless
