Hi Don Dobrzechow? That's one tough request. Can't I send you a picture of the old wooden parish church in Dobrkow instead? The reason why your request is a tough one is that Dobrzechow Parish is in Powiat Strzyzow (Strzyzow County) and the Strzyzow area has always been served by "the road less travelled". I can't find a historical society or regional museum serving Strzyzow County. This means that, although such a photo may indeed exist, it is likely still in the hands of a private individual. Your best shot at finding such a photo is to send an inquiry directly to Dobrzechow Parish. The parish would have a great interest in preserving such a photo. Sw. Stanislawa Biskupa Dobrzechow 281 38-100 Strzyzow POLAND The current pastor's name is Ks. Maciej Figura. The public library in Strzyzow is a possibility, but a real long shot. In the case of my ancestral parish 20+ miles to the north, our family preserved five photos of our second wooden parish church which was destroyed in 1945. (The first wooden church was built around 1275 and the second replaced it in 1511 AD). Our pastor always kept in mind who had such photos and would request that he be allowed to display them at events from time to time. The same is probably true of the pastor at Dobrzechow Parish. I tried. I simply came up empty-handed. Sorry.
