Barb, I am still in the process of mapping out our routes but I do know we aren't going near Oblekon on this trip. Sorry. I didn't mention Polish Genius to take members from Poland Roots so please stay subscribed to this list. Lots of people are on more than one list depending on their own needs. Today, August 20, happens to be the 11 anniversary of Polish Genius! Good day to join.

Debbie, 1st sorry to all for the erroneous email. sometimes when I hit reply, it just sends the email before I have a chance to say anything. Debbie, I have seen your pictures of Poland on PolishFamily.com and really love them all. The reason I am writing is my being hopeful that perhaps you could sometime visit my Grandmother's village. It sounds like you have your trip all planned out but maybe in a future trip? The village is Oblekon near Stopnica. It is 89.9 km, 1 hour 40 mins on Route 79 from Krakow. I would love to see pictures of this village. Enjoy your trip and I will look forward to reading about your adventures. By the way how do I sign up for the Polish Genius email list? Thank you.

Barb, There are often photos that can be found online.  Search Oblekon for images in whatever search engine you use.  Sometimes photos that are not the village you are looking for will also come up in a search, so you have to look closely to see how they are labeled.  In this first link it looks like all 62 photos are labeled Oblekon.  The good thing is that it appears that there is only one village named Oblekoń  in Poland (at least only one came up on Google maps), so you could be sure it is the village you are looking for. http://en.eholiday.pl/info-oblekon-29497-photo-66507.html http://www.oblekon.cba.pl/historia.php ________________________________ From: "BarbyDZ@aol.com" <BarbyDZ@aol.com> To: poland-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [POLAND] Gas in Poland Debbie,     1st sorry to all for the erroneous email.  sometimes when I hit reply, it just sends the email before I have a chance to  say anything.     Debbie, I have seen your pictures of Poland on  PolishFamily.com and really love them all.  The reason I am writing is my  being hopeful that perhaps you could sometime visit my Grandmother's  village.  It sounds like you have your trip all planned out but maybe in a  future trip?  The village is Oblekon near Stopnica.  It is  89.9 km, 1 hour 40 mins on Route 79 from  Krakow.  I would love to see pictures of this village.     Enjoy your trip and I will look forward to reading  about your adventures.  By the way how do I sign up for the Polish  Genius email list?

No need to sell the kids. Firstly, the distances in Poland are way shorter than in the US - so you do not drive hundreds or thousands of miles to reach your destinations -ergo you don't need as much gas. Secondly, the cars, and their engines, are much smaller and much more efficient - so the mileage per car is much better. Thirdly, diesel cars are very popular, and diesel fuel is much cheaper than gasoline, and mileage is way way better - e.g. the Volkswagen Golf makes 1100 km on one tank of diesel. So, overall, you will spend either the same or not much more. ella Subject: [POLAND] Gas in Poland For anyone still planning a trip to Poland and renting a car, gas is about 5.80 złoty per _liter_.

I know this web site was mentioned about a year ago and even though it is still in Beta testing, some of you may find some interesting items. Thanks to Anna on Polish Genius for reminding me about it. I haven't looked at everything but some of the titles of the scanned books are very interesting. Make sure to scroll all the way down. Besides a few address directory books for some Polish cities there are also directories for Austria, Czech & Slovak, France, Galicia, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, Pomerania, Posen (Poznań), Silesia, and more. http://genealogyindexer.org/directories/ Debbie

Just updated my 2012-2013 Genealogy Lectures (it's a .pdf). I am happy to send it to any genealogical or historical society planning a single lecture or a full day workshop. Keep in mind it can be held at your location or at PARI, located on the campus of Orchard Lake Schools in Michigan. Topics are sorted for General Audiences, Catholics, Polonia/ Poland, and Societies.

Hello all, I recently learned about a very useful website for those who have tested with FamilyTreeDNA or 23andme for DNA genealogy. DNA test results can be uploaded to http://www.gedmatch.com to see whether you can find more matches.The website is free and provides easy directions for uploading information and gedcom files. I only tested with FamilyTreeDNA but my information is being matched against 23andme customers on Gedmatch. Maybe I have some distant cousins on here. I have a lot of ancestry from current day Poland. Vera Find Lost Russian & Ukrainian Family http://lostrussianfamily.wordpress.com/

I'm looking to trace my grandmother in Poland. This is some information I know about her: First name: Yadwiga or Yanina, Jadwiga, Janina, Jana. Surname: Pawlowich or Pawlowicz, Pawlowska. (Powlowich, Powlowicz, Powlowska). Date of birth: 09.07.1885 - Warszawa, Poland. She belonged to the Catholic Church. My sister Elena is planning to go to Poland in October 2012 with a group of people from her Catholic Church. Unfortunately she will be able to stay in Warszawa for only a very short time. I would appreciate it if somebody could give me any advice about where she can start to investigate information about our grandmother. How and where can she display our grandmother and her sibling's picture? Thank you, for all your assistance. Regards, Irina Shuiskaya.

Hello Harriet! Jasienczyk is the base surname (the singular nominative case), without any endings on it. There's no way to tell whether Jashinski in the US is the same family or not, the Polish spelling for that name would be Jaszynski or maybe Jasienski, with an accent over the "n". People may have changed the name over here, or maybe it's a different family. Joe > Archive. The christening was originally recorded in the parish register > in 1886, and the priest transcribed it onto a Swiadectwo Chrztu > (Testimonium Baptismi) form a couple of years ago. > The mother's given name is on that form and followed by > z domu (nata) JASIENCZYK > I understand this means "of the house" and is her maiden name. Here in > the US, I have found JASHINSKI or YUSHINSKI as a surname for someone who > is "supposed" to be related. Are these all the same surname? > Also, what is the correct Polish surname for the pedigree chart for the > mother, and for the mother's father? > Thank you for your help! > Harriet >
