Have you ever been to Tolwin? Or, do you still have any connections to the village. Your father was born after my grandfather left Tolwin for the US in 1913, but his family stayed there until World War 2. If he, your father, is still alive, or if have you any knowledge of any of these families: Kosinski, Niewinska, Klopotowski, or Orzechowski/Orzepowski, can you let me know? When my grandfather left Tolwin his parents, Piotr Piotrowski and Aleksandra Kosinska and his sister, Antonina were still living there. When it was apparent that the war might reach Tolwin, they went to live either in Krakow or somewhere near by. My grandfather spelled his name Pietrowski, but many records are Piotrowski.
