Debbie, Thanks for the information you provided. I did go to the web site listed below but did not find Wolka Szlachecka as one of the villages/towns. Of course the web site is in Polish so maybe I missed something. Do you have any other thoughts on this? Thanks again. Barb In a message dated 10/28/2010 3:10:58 P.M.

I've done some Googling on this, but still could use some advice on where to write or look for personnel records of Polish soldiers stationed at St. Andrews, Scotland during WWII. The person of interest, for whom I have a name, was probably a member of an Artillery Unit, certainly a member of the Army. Has anyone managed to obtain such information about Polish military personnel for WWII? Thanks. Jim DeGraff Houston, TX

Hi, Would anyone have knowledge of what Roman Catholic parish would serve Wolka Szlachecka, Poland today regarding records for the late 1800's? Also would anyone know where the civil archives are located for Wolka Szlachecka, Poland? Thanks any and all help is appreciated. Barb

Ok, Debbie. That makes sense. I'm going to approach my requests this way. Deb Deb, Here's the deal. If someone steals the envelope you are out the request _and_ the money and you'll never know if the priest is ignoring you. I know several "how-to" books suggest sending money up front but personally I don't do that. I do ask how I can make a donation. Asking that question lets the priest know that I intend to send money if he responds. I think it might also encourage him to do some looking.

Many thanks to all that responded to my query regarding Schonthal & Koningsberg.  I will put together all of the suggestions that I received from this group and another mailing list.  I know that several members of this family attended Riverside Church in Buffalo.  These records are available on microfilm through the LDS and may also give clues regarding where this family originated in Prussia. Please excuse my ignorance on history (especially pre-WWII) in this area.  As a child, history was always my least favorite subject.  I find that the more I research my family history my total outlook on history has changed.  I now read books, articles, and postings about the history of the areas I am researching.  It is interesting to speculate why they immigrated when they did. I will be posting info on other families in the near future. Thanks again, Karen

Debbie, Thanks for your idea about requesting where to find my records if the parish doesn't have them. I didn't think about that. I have written (with success) to 2 churches in different parts of Poland. I have always enclosed my donation with my request. Is it better to have the priest suggest a donation?

Anita, You might get more detailed information from the Galicia list but searching in Ukraine has its own set of issues, one of which is language. Stojanow/Stoianiv (in transliterated Ukrainian) is located in the oblast of Radziecho~w/Radekhiv ((in transliterated Ukrainian). You will probably have to contact the Ukrainian civil archives in Lwo~w/Lviv or the church archives in Lwo~w, depending on whether you're looking for Roman Catholics or Greek Catholics. Here are some web sites but they are in Cyrillic. http://orthodox.org.ua/win/index.shtml http://www.archive.lviv.ua/ More information can be found on Matthew Bielawa's web site, halgal: http://www.halgal.com/halgal.asp Debbie Watson's wrote: > Does anyone know of Stojanow (Stoyaniv)which was in south east Poland now in Ukraine near Lvov (Lviv)? > I am trying to find family Jurczenko that may still live there.
