This is the type of info that is important to include when you post a query. My earlier info was mistakenly based on the typical family researcher whose G Parents or GGP immigrated to the US around 1900. No problem with me wasting my time, BUT for the sake of your research you need to inc anything that will narrow your search. You never know when someone who has info from your father's area will be lurking! Records from many churches in that part of Europe are available for rent at a LDS Church (Mormon) Family History Center near you. Here is what I got when I searched for Kostomloty at the LDS web page Place search results Poland, Lublin, Kostomloty (Biala Podlaska) Poland, Wroclaw, Kostomloty (Sroda Slaska http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Also I am fairly certain that Australia arrivals of post WW II ships is available. http://www.naa.gov.au/Publications/fact_sheets/FS86.html > > I have some information about him and his past.

Hello I just wanted to know if someone could help me somehow with Borzdankiewicz surname research (alternative spellings can be Bozhdankevich, Borzdankievicz or so). I believe it's one of the numerous Polish noble surnames. May be someone heard something or can tell where I should start looking at ? Many thanks in advance.
