Dear polonius 3 Thank-You for your help...I did locate more names to try related to Garus,Garis and also Trewic.trybice.and Dzwchra and finally stec.whew! alot to try to figure out... Not sure what part of poland...all i know is galcia/austria is what i come up with...My Grandmother was monika Tryibec? from lesinowka in 1905... My great grandfather was either Valentine garus or joesph garis and His wife was either anges Jurek or mary stec?? so many variations in paperwork.depending on record and state...I am truely interested in my Great grandparents and i think Joesph and mary were not their true names...Just a hunch. The Name Dzwchra was my Great grandmother (Monikas mother).This is who i was named after..Thank-You for helping and taking time to care! God bless you.How would i research polish death records???Or birth record of tomasz garus in poland(His parents were Valentine/Joesph Garis-Agnes/Mary Jurek)?
