UK, Ireland / Where to request Polish Birth Certificate / change of name from the UK? [15]

I am curious to know if the writer who inquired was successful getting the bc. I for one can't locate my relatives' bc from 1928. The church records were destroyed in a lot of places so how does one go about finding family records? Have they all been re-written or something? Just curious.

Thanks

I hope you really enjoy it. What area are you looking to settle in once you get there? I envy you!

It's funny how even though someone doesn't say anything, people generally can size them up by their expression or the way they carry themselves. That is, if one would carry themself in a haughty manner at a subway in downtown NY somewhere, they're liable to wind up knocked off the platform right onto the third rail : ) If one is not in their native country, it would probably be best to be benevolent toward certain local customs and conduct oneself as a grateful guest. Not like some of the people who come to my area and act as if everyone owes them. Of course, some of the demeanor thingy is lost in translation among "chołota".
