Jeff, Not 206 families, 206 individuals used the surname Kisza in Poland in 1990. The 1990 PESEL (kind of a census) is not very precise as to locations and just provides a general location by province. 23 of 206 individuals lived in what had been Opole Province and that's where Nysa was located at the time . However, the whole area is commonly referred to as Upper Silesia and it was in the Prussian Partition in the 19th Century. I don't have much knowledge or experience in this geographic area. Not my niche. So I am going to quietly slink away.

Hi Jeff Yes, wouldn't that be nice if there was such a means? Actually, there is. It's called a paid researcher who would act as your private detective in Poland. And it would be best to hire a native Pole who is entirely familiar with Polish privacy laws as well as research techniques. Alas, too many Americans are fat and rich and require instant gratification. Whatever happened to those two prime Polish virtues - patience and intemperance? I need a drink.
