Genealogy / Marciniak, Gelitzky, Wohlgemut, Bekier / Dziuba, Janczak SURNAMES. [11]

Hi, does anyone have, or know of people with these surames?
Mine come from:
Gelitzky from Kociolki in Suwalskie?
Marciniak from Grebow & Staniew in Wielkepolskie?
Wohlgemut from Borkowiny in Suwalskie?
Bekier from Orla in Wielkepolskie?

I'm hoping the spellings are correct, however similar spellings would be most welcome.
Ever hopeful, RalphyCC.

Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]

Hello Thread.
Surely this discussion highlights the problem of all of us researching our Polish heritage, who cannot converse in Polish - written or spoken?
There MUST be Polish people with the ability & knowledge to research Polish Archives & the desire to earn a few quid helping others in so doing????

I have paid local government archivists a none too mean amount to research records available to the public in the UK,- purely as I don't have time.

Come on! Someone please see the demand & fill the niche:)

Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]

Thanks 2772, I've gone as far as I can with the records & traces of family tree I have, what I can't believe is that there aren't any UK-based Polish students or academics who find Archive work fascinating enough to do a bit of research for others for a little renumeration.

I've discovered the two areas my relatives come from, Kocilki & Borkowiny Near GOLDAP, SUWALSKIE.... & Staniew, Orla & Grebow Near KOZMIN, WIELKOPOLSKI. so I'm looking at quite a narrow field.

Anyone interested or able?

Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]

Thanks everyone!
My family history now goes back to the 1850's, so it is now this time which I am researching, ie; pre 1860.
Any further advice?
Thanks in anticipation, Ralph.
