Gloria, If you plan to visit the Wolica cemetery (or any cemetery), bring jeans and tennis shoes. Though the weeds aren't too high, there are stinging nettles...
Debbie, Thanks for the advice about nettles. I will be going to the Dudynce Greek Cath and R. Cath cemeteries there. Last time I visited, the weeds were...
Dennis, When you were in Poland did you actually get to see the refurbished shrine in Kamienne? Philip, Just a gripe. Contact with the priest you asked me to...
IN POLAND! JULY 1, 2010 Thursday American Airlines from Dallas to Frankfurt. Uneventful. Thank God! Three suitcases and two carry-ons. We made sure we were...

Gloria, The weather today was a delightful 70. However it is chilly at night. But we've had a couple of hot days too. Re: Dudynce records. Janina received your...
Ann and those interested, We shot all the headstones in the Rzepedz and Wolica cemeteries. Leszczawa Dolna is about an hour away and the cemetery is big. Can't...
... Hmmm, that sounds disappointing and unsurprising. ... That was my experience too. ... Congrats on your negotiating skills! ... It's a big stack of books!...
... I volunteer to transcribe the Wolica headstones since that's "my" village. Did you notice any Semanczyks in Rzepedz? There were some there a century ago...
His name is Mr. Michalik. The hotel found him for me. I have been packing for two weeks, or at least I have everything spread out on one of my beds....
Debbie, Thanks for the Rzepedz work; will be anxious to see any IIlkow sites though I probably won't recognize them in Cyrillic. Don't worry about Leszczawa...
Ann, I took the photo six days ago, but I'm pretty sure they're buried together. I do remember that Julian was buried across the aisle. I hate to say this, but...
I have just received my gr grandfather's death record from Pa. and have found out his mother's maiden name was Orenka Zucak. Does the name Zucak have any...
Philip, Great! Wolica is yours! Seems to me Dave said (he's off filming Niebiesczany cemetery if it's not too big) he saw Semanczyks in the Wolica cemetery. ...
Philip, I was going to save this info, it will be repeated perhaps in more detail in my "diary" but, the priest left us alone a couple of times. I don't know...
JULY 4 Sunday Breakfast this morning was buffet style probably because so many people stayed over after the wedding. You do NOT drink even one alcoholic...

Marie, Now I've certainly not seen every name in the BT but I do recognize when a "new" name shows up in the Bukowsko cemetery so, for what it's worth, I've...
... YEs, Bronisl~awa and Salomea if I remember correctly. They were the children of Tomasz Semanczyk and Anna Tynik. I don't know who Tomasz & Anna's parents...
Yes I have his arrival records and naturalization records which of course don't show mother's maiden name. His oldest son was the person who answered the...
Debbie, Thanks for sending the photos and they do confirm that Bronia and her husband, Kazimierz are buried in the same plot. I can understand your focus and...
Interesting story, thanks. What I don't understand is if the priest was displeased with someone's handling of the records, why didn't he just deny them access?...
Marie, If you know in which village your gr.grandfather was born you can check to see if LDS has filmed those records and look for his mother's name in the...
Debbie and Philip, I did a quick check of Philip's website to see if Debbie had filmed any records from Dudynce of any volume. I just saw a smattering of...
JULY 6, Tuesday Cloudy I was up at 6:15 A.M. to be ready for breakfast by 8:30 but I was ready early. If I'd slept longer I probably would have been late! At ...
