I have tried twice to send a GEDCOM attachment to two message board messages and have failed. I typed my message, clicked on "[Add]" after the word "Attachments," browsed to find my GEDCOM file and found it, clicked on "Submit," which brought me back to the message screen, clicked on "Post Message," and sent the message off. However, the attachment did not attach either time. What am I doing wrong? I wrote to the Ancestry team but am unlikely to get a quick answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

He probably knows a lot of people, and may be able to find some researchers family, and may be able to check records for them, but in order to do this, people will need to have notorized statements giving permission for him to do this. I understand that the privacy of records is held dear and close to the Polish people, and their laws reflect this. Tina Ellis

Grajewo is a gmina and parish, so people from the surrounding area would have also had their BMDs recorded in Grajewo. If you want Piotr to search all of the records in Grajewo, I think it would be appropriate to offer to pay him. He may also need a notorized statement giving him authorization to do research for you.

It was in the powiat of Wol~kowyski. Today that is in Belarus, and the new name is Vaukavysk. It has had the names of Wol~kowysk and Volkovysk also. Your Jalowka is in Poland, and can be found on this map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=53.0167&longitude=23.9000&size=big. It's very close to the Belarusyn border. I'm going to type what the Slownik Geograficzny says about it. The ~ marks mean that the letters before the ~ have a diacritical mark.

When you know the name of the gmina, you will know where the records would be for his birth in 1919. I used http://www.poltran.com to translate it, and this is what it gave me: Jałówka, mko, Administrative district wołkowyski, about 12 from wiorst Swisłoczy, at way białostocko-mińskiej, about 82 from wiorst Grodna, from Wołkowyska, okr.

If I am correct, the gmina for Jalowka was in Swislocz, which is now in Belarus. Today it is called Svislac. The LDS only have records for 1824: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=1118468&disp=Metrical+books%20%20&columns=*,180,0 The archives in Poland have no records for Swislocz/Svislac. I have a friend, who lives in Russia, who helps me with matters in Belarus. He's on vacation at this time. I will send you a letter in private with his email address. He will do his best to help you, if he can. Maybe he will help you write a letter in Russian to this gmina office. Tina Ellis
