It's your first water settlement I presume? It looks ok for me.

Classifieds / I will buy second hand scooter in Warsaw. Whats the procedure? [4]

To buy, no need for any special documents, just money.
To drive - you are required to have a driver licence - one of "A" category, or "B" (when you have it 3 years or more in Poland)

The procedure looks like this:
- find a seller (for example at olx website, close to your location), who owns a scooter you like,
- contact with him (via email or phone), try negotiate the price,
- make a payment for the scooter (best in person via cash)
- enjoy your purchase

Life / Health Care Quality in Poland - NFZ vs Private [4]

The public health care is now better than it was in the past.
However I don't trust NFZ' dentists for example - private specialist in the dentistry field are still affordable and of good quality.
Another major drawback of the public healthcare is long waiting time and lines.
I use NFZ just for basic family care, labs, some check-ups. Then I look for specialists in the private sphere.
Of course, more serious treatment is already expensive in private, so hospitals, etc. - such facilities rather with the NFZ deal.

To pierwsze zdanie wygląda jakby zostało skopiowane z translatora, dlatego tłumaczenie nie jest jasne.

Moim zdaniem chodzi o ważność informacji co lubią, jakie są trendy wśród fanów (miłośników??) danej muzyki, czy muzyki jako całość. Oczywiście dane o fanach są również przydatne do odpowiedniego marketingu.

Nie wiem jakie informacje fani mieliby "gromadzić" i w jakim celu. No chyba że jacyś hobbyści, fascynaci, którzy zbierają wszystko związane z tym co kochają.

Genealogy / How to find a burial site / records in Poland... [80]

@countryrose
In the city of Debno (Dębno - but not Dembno today - old name) you can find two cemeteries. Both are the Municipal cemeteries, one by the Kosciuszki street, another by Wloscianska I street.

cmentarze24.pl/debno/index.php?go=1

But the people you're looking for were most likely buried in the old cemetery in Debno (old. Neudamm/Nm. - Germany):
neumark.pl/main.php?obiekt=debnocmentarz&lang=en.
Now only a park there.

Info about the city: neumark.pl/main.php?miasto=debno&lang=en - check the comments of ancestors from this place.

...If this is the right place - in Poland there are several towns with the name of Dębno: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dębno_(disambiguation)
