Genealogy / Jackowski, Wieckowski - Ancestors Search in Mława Poland [19]

Hello, Mary.

I will be going to Poland next month and will be visiting Mlawa as you did. I would appreciate it very much if you could contact me regarding the travel arrangements you made as well as who you had contacted in the archives building in Mlawa, as well as the translator you worked with. I'll will be coming from New York in the US to Warsaw. My grandfather left Mlawa in 1938-39 as I recall him telling me many years ago. I do not speak Polish myself. Any information you could share with me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advanve.

Thank you so much, Patrycja!!! I truly appreciate it. I found my last name listed on the website you provided to me. I believe I looked at this website many years ago already but perhaps this information was not included at the time. If I may ask, do you reside in Poland?

Travel / Warsaw to Mlawa - Fastest Mode of Public Transportation on a Sunday in April? [15]

Hello.

I will be travelling from Warsaw to Mlawa, the town where my grandfather was from, on a Sunday next month, in April. I do not speak Polish and would like to go there by means of public transportation. When I look on the Polish railway website, most trains take up to 4 hours each way if choosing Mlawa Miastro. If choosing Mlawa, I found trains only taking 1 1/2 hours at the bottom of the page. I'm also open to going by bus if need. I would like to leave fairly early in the morning and return back to Warsaw sometime before early evening. If anyone could make any suggestions regarding this I would be most appreciative. If someone on the board speaks Polish fluently could take a look at this for me it would be an enormous help.

Thank you in advance.

If anyone could be of assistance in answering my post I would be most appreciative.

Thank you in advance.

Travel / Warsaw to Mlawa - Fastest Mode of Public Transportation on a Sunday in April? [15]

JonnyM,

Thanks for responding so quickly to my post. I only have two days in Warsaw and four days in Krakow this trip and would very much like to see where my grandfather was from. I've already paid for the hotel in Warsaw so staying overnight in Mlawa isn't an option at this point. Have you been to Mlawa? If so, could you tell me what to expect by visiting there, please?

Thanks very much.

Jonny M,

Thank you so much for all of the information you've provided me with. I truly appreciate it! I was fortunate to find a fantastic rate for the Inter Continental in Warsaw so I'm very excited to stay there. Do you live in Warsaw?

One of the reasons why I choose the Inter Continental was because of it's renowned pool as I'm a swimmer myself. Just went this morning before work!!! Can you recommend any restaurants or interesting places to visit in Warsaw where the locals go? I'm not into very touristy places.

Thanks.

Ross

You're a wealth of information, Jonny!!! Thank you so much!!! The restaurant suggestions are GREAT!!! Not looking for any nightclubs. Not my thing. Out of curiosity, do know Krakow well? I'll be there for four days after my stay in Warsaw and visiting Mlawa. I'm considering a day-trip to Zakopane while there. Perhaps even a side-trip to Slovakia right over the border but it doesn't seem that there's good public transportation in that area.
