Merged: Surname Rutkowska

My grandmother, Anna Rutkowska, always said she was from Augustow. I found on immigration records that she says she was from the village of Bialobrzegi. Any idea what parish I would need to contact? Also, several years ago genealogy sites suggested sending $50 with requests. Is this still good advice?

RUTKOWSKI: root-word ruta (rue, a herb); most likely a toponymic tag from places such as Rutki, Rutkowszczyzna, Rutkowskie or Rutkowo (Rueville, Rueton, etc.).

Carol first ask if they can locate records, then send them a decent donation, thats not really very much now a days , I usually send

more then that, especially to the church.

Related: Falicki Family in Augustow, Poland

Looking for anyone who might have information on anyone named Falicki currently living in Augustow. My hope is that they will have history of the family who immigrated to Michigan in 1899.

FALICKI: root-word chwała (praise, glory, boasting /chwalić się/); this is a simplified form of Chwalicki, which probably produced Falicki because the initial aich-sound in Chwalicki was barely audible in rapid or even normal colloquial speech.
