Jaszczurowa Poland

As you are aware there are two places by that name in close vicinity to each other. Having seen some other of your threads his wife was Orszulak and as there are some Orszulak's in Jaszczurowa in the District (Gmina) Mucharz in Wadowice County it might be a good place to start.

The parish church is Sw. Wojciecha:-

Mucharz 111, 34‑106 Mucharz, tel. +44 (33) 876 14 67

If you have any luck finding information about your family in this area, please let me know. My great grandmother, last name Fortuna, is also from Jaszczurowa, most likely the one in Gmina Mucharz. Her mother's maiden name is Zawiła. My email is LBoris0217@yahoo. Thanks! Linda

Hello Urszula! Where are you from? Are you currently in Poland? My grandfather's name is Joseph, his father's name was Frank. Just passed a couple years ago at 91 years of age in Maine, USA.

kind of odd in a way. my babcia's maiden name was Wieczorek. But my grandmother was born in Kropiwki, NE of Lublin and married someone from a nearby village just north of Podedworze. I doubt there is any connection due to the spelling. But the name sounded very close to hers though.

@LBoris0217
Do you have information about the Zawila's?
My grandfather came to Australia after the war, and he was Franciszek Zawila, from Wadowice.
If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate if you were able to send it through to me at:

I know this is a long shot, considering your comment was 12 years ago, but there is no harm in trying.
