Law / PESEL or NIP in Poland for an American married to Polish citizen [22]
Merged: Are Pesel numbers Issued to Poland's Visa Holders?
I am trying to get my husband, a US citizen, a pesel number so that he can get an EU health card - and - it's 'ring a round the rosey" bureacratic game-playing time. We are living in Poland (since Sept 2015). I am a Polish citizen. Hubby has just reapplied for his temporary visa for another year long stay here in Poland. We are both retired. Our pension is deposited into a Polish bank account out of which are taken: Polish taxes and payment for the NFZ which is the Polish national healthcare. We have tried a few different ways to get a Pesel number so that he can file a tax return next year and have some healthcare coverage when we travel in the EU. Is there some secret protocol or some new rule for getting a Pesel number? They will not accept an application outright; it does not come automatically on the back of his visa card and ..... they will not tell me why. All I know is .... from what I've been told by a very reluctant young lady at the Urząd, who actually seemed scared to talk about it ..... is that there is a new protocol and we need to look it up online and we need to meet the standards for pesel number. That is what we were told on Friday. Online, I've found the new electronic platform (E-puap) - great for me but hubby does not qualify to sign up for it without a pesel number and yet it was hinted that it is a step in the process. And everything else online is outdated information i.e, automatically issued a pesel number with the visa card or submit an application if you pay taxes in Poland - brick wall. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. A secret handshake? The password?? ?

Law / Bring Ashes of Deceased Mother to Poland [6]
My family is making plans to bring the cremated ashes of my mother to be buried in Poland this year.
Does anyone know the name of the agency or department in the city of Wroclaw where I can submit an
application for permission to have her buried in the Osobowice cemetery in Wroclaw?
I live in Krakow Poland and can read some Polish.

Thank you Maksym! That really helps and I will join the FaceBook page.

And thanks, Polonius, again. It was a leap to think that his name meant 'forest' - take nothing for granted. Thank you.

Genealogy / Borysewicz (Borysiewicz?) family in Derewna, Osadnik? [6]
What is the Family History Center? Is that a Polish site? I have been trying to do research through Ancestry.com but have had limited success with older Polish records which are in Kresy parishes (I think). I would very much appreciate any help you can give me to point me in the right direction for finding information. Here is the short story:
I'm trying to determine if my grandfather on my mother's side, Karol Borysiewicz or Borysewicz was an osadnik. Here's what I know. He settled in Derewna (Stołpce province) which is now Belarus (the Kresy).
My mother was born in 1922 and she was his youngest child (of 8) and product of a 3rd wife (Bronisława Sezon). So Karol was probably born in the late 1800's.
Which means he served for Poland in the first World War (Polish legion maybe?) My mother has always said he was a forester (forest ranger) and they lived near a deep woods. That would make sense cause the word "bory" means forests, right?
I was under the impression that he was granted land by the government for his service in the first World War but I may be wrong about that. I have found the name Borysewicz listed as a recipient of land but not for Karol. Are there resources for finding out more about Karol Borysewicz and his military service prior to 1922 and how he acquired his land? His home?
