Julie B in NC -----Original Message----- From: galicia-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:galicia-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Naida Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 1:24 PM To: galicia@rootsweb.com Subject: [GALICIA] Can't Find Information I have been trying to come up with information relative to my grandmother, but have not had much luck. I would appreciate any help I can get. She had an uncle who was a bishop put to death by the Nazis, and I would like to know more about him. She was born in Poland, maybe Galicia, maybe not. I have tried to find the town listed on numerous immigration records, but no luck. It is spelled Hladky, Hlakhi, and Hladlai. No record of anything. Since I am not sure if her uncle was maternal or paternal, I don't know his last name. I believe my grandmother's maiden name was Venesky. At least that is what is on one census record and her father's headstone even though the rest of the family, including his wife, is listed as Winisky. Her mother's maiden name was Halian (at least only one spelling here!). I am pretty sure her uncle was a Roman Catholic bishop since my grandmother told my mother shortly before she died that she was brought up Catholic. I can't, however, rule out Orthodox (Romanian or Ukranian). I have done many searches with no success. It was suggest I send a letter (in Polish, not English) with $20-$30 to a diocese in Poland asking about him. Do you know how many there are? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ********************************* Need to contact the list manager?
