Genealogy / Looking For My Biological Mother [8]

Hello, I am the granddaughter of Jurek Jurkowski and Helena Smarzewska and the daughter of Anna Smarzewska. Helena had a brother Bronisław (born in 1930s) who also lived in Jasionowa Dolina. He was a bachelor and had no children. Helena (my grandmother) later GOT MARRIED TO BARTOSIEWICZ and they moved from Jasionowa Dolina to Sokółka. Bartosiewicz wasn't Anna's father, but he must have adopted her and gave her his last name.

When my grandmother Helena and Bartosiewicz went to live in Sokółka, my mother Anna (diminutive: Ania) came to live with her uncle in Jasionowa Dolina. Perhaps she lived with her mother for some time in Sokółka and later came back to Jas. Dol. When Bronisław died, Anna mother inherited his house in Jasionowa Dolina. She sold it and left Jasionowa Dolina. My grandmother Helena died in a nursery home in Dzięciołówka (it is close to Jasionowa Dolina). She was buried in a cemetery in Janów, in the same grave as her brother Bronisław. My mother Anna gave birth to THREE children. I heard my other Anna often sells cigarettes at the market called MADRO (it's in Białystok, so I assume she still lives here).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have found all this information but recently have hit a wall. Any information, big or small is greatly apprreciated.

Thank you,

Jillian (American given name)
