History / Silesia occupation [49]

But wasn't there a referendum once already? Who would vote in the new referendum? Only the people living there now, or also the the people who were forced to move out? (not many still alive so maybe there children could vote?) After all if you have past family born in Silesia back to the 1700's or earlier, I think there should be some kind of rights for this. Not only german Silesian were force to move after the war but also germanized poles (and what is a germanized pole. 1/2 geramn 1/2 pole by marrage or a pole who learned to speak german?).

And Silesia is now in 3 parts by the way.

Not any more than all of Canadian territories are.

Good point it is..but it is independed from France and England for the most part. And the true natives are gaining ground slowly.

Genealogy / Anyone live in this area (former Germany) -any info on birth records for the early 1900s [9]

Yes I know it was german but I think the town is still there and there must be a church. And I am sure i have the new name right.

Brzezia Laka, Wroclawski, Dolnoslaskie, Poland .. about 15km east of Wroclaw.

I am looking for records from 1890 to 1920. My great grandfather was a ranch forman in this area. And had about 10 kids who I am sure were born here but it would be nice to have records.

News / Far-right party organizes 'pro-Polish' march in Silesia [20]

The free Silesia idea must be growing if they now need to have marchs to prove to themselfs it is part of poland.
Maybe poland needs to apologize for how it treated the Silesia ppls it expelled. The one whos families lived there for hundreds of years.
