Genealogy / Michal Orlik, born 28/09/1925 Bazaar, poland, surely I have relatives somewhere? [12]

Hi I never pass judgement - I talked of apprehension which is a natural reaction. The people I have contacted are distant family and I expect them to be apprehensive wondering why after a long time I am contacting them.

Hi. I have recently started trying to trace my maternal family. It can be frustrating but I think where would we be without the Internet!!

My mother was born in Poland in 1948 and her life in Poland was only discussed lightly and I, like you, only have odd names to go on but have a go and see how you get on. I have found that my enquiries , via email, have been met with apprehension - which I understand. If I received such an email from a stranger abroad I too would be careful about what I said, if I responded at all.

Good luck with your search. Julie :)

Genealogy / Sawicki family [7]

I think i have a lot to learn!!

I have done a lot of reading since the other day. The most recent thing I have date wise is a wedding invitation dated for 21.09.96. It is at Parafia Przemienienia Pańskiego w Wąsoszu – rzymskokatolicka parafia położona w diecezji łomżyńskiej (Dekanat Szczuczyn).

The reception afterwards was at restauracja Szczuczynie.
It is a long shot but did anyone go to this wedding or know why my Grandmother Helene Sawicka may have a copy invitation. Thank you Julie.

Genealogy / Sawicki family [7]

łHi I am looking to find my maternal family. They are from Wasoszu/Czarnowek, Nieckowo,Elk area.
My grandfather was Josef, Grandmother Helene, plus their Son - Stanislaw and daughter Stainlawa. Stanislaw remained in Poland with his wife and children but the other family moved to the Uk. I have alsorts of photographs, greetings cards, wedding photographs etc but few names and addresses.

I am researching my family with my daughters as I feel it is important for them to understand their family background. Any information would be welcomed. Kindest regards Julie Drury ( born Finney).
