Three of them have telephones according to the Suwalki area phone book I have from 2002. They are Gerwazy, Mieczyslaw and Mieczyslaw Waclaw. I guess the one Mieczyslaw decided to post his middle name in the phone book because of the other one in the village. If you wish to write to them to see if they or an elderly member of their family may remember your family, this is how you would address your envelope: Name wies Malinowka 16-423 Bakalarzewo woj, Podlaskie Polska - Poland The parish for Malinowka is Bakalarzewo.
