Debbie, Thanks for your reply! Yes, I will continue to research records in the US. Not many JASIENCZK in passenger lists going to Scranton area of Pennsylvania. I'll double check all the US parish records I have for variant surnames. Thanks for your suggestions on how to enter the surname into my database. I was curious if this spelling had anything to do with Polish grammar and changes to surname spellings. I have SUT, which I have found with various endings. Thanks again, Harriet

For those who subscribe to DISH Network (satellite) in the U.S. channel 9889 KINO is showing Polish movies and documentaries, channel 9890 MZYKA is a Polish music-video station, 9905 RAIN appears to be a Ukrainian station. I don't know how long these stations will be available as they usually cost extra but if you want to listen to Polish, now is the time. Debbie

Harriett, You are correct. According to the baptismal certificate, the mother's maiden name was Jasieńczyk. Note the diacritical mark over the 'N'. There's no way to know for sure if the Americanized versions of Jasieńczyk are JASHINSKI or YUSHINSKI. You will only figure this out through more research. You need to trace the names JASHINSKI and YUSHINSKI back to their Passenger Arrival Records or if possible to a court document showing that they changed their names. However, it was common prior to about 1940 for people to just change the spellings of their names without going through the courts. Searching U.S. church records might answer your question. In your genealogy program list the mother's maiden name as JASIEŃCZYK and her father's surname as JASIEŃCZYK. Your program may not accept diacritical marks (most don't). In that case just type an "N" but make a note in the memo section that the "N" needs a diacritical mark. Debbie Harriet wrote: > About surnames.

About surnames. I have a christening record from a Polish Church 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

I realized that these records could be anywhere in a given woj/powiat/gmina as Tina reminded me. Apparently I took this information from an article written by Iwona Dakiniewicz (reminded Tina) but I only made a list of what I wanted to search. I will simply write to the appropriate Polish Civil Archive and the powiat and gmina offices.

Dorothy, I took some photos of Powazki cemetery when I was in Warsaw last October. It's an incredible place! I have a few photos here: http://www.polishfamily.com/p4e/ A sign at the front of the cemetery states that over 2 million people have been buried there. I don't think this is a cemetery that turns over its graves either. Debbie Dorothy Petraitis wrote: > Thank you, Eveline. > > Your post reminded me that I had a link to Powazki Cemetery, Warsaw.

I was prompted by a post on another list to search for a long forgotten site I used to find the grave site of a tangential family member. I was able to link Karol Bistrom to great aunt, Wanda Majchrycka. After spending about a hour searching all combination of keywords, I finally found what I was looking for in one of my family binders. After spend so much time searching for it, I thought I should share with with other researchers. Powązki is a historic cemetery where many famous Poles are laid to rest. There are photos of my monuments. Worth browsing, if nothing else. Here's the link: <http://sowa.website.pl/cpg/index.php> Happy Hunting, Dorothy

Thank you, Eveline. Your post reminded me that I had a link to Powazki Cemetery, Warsaw. I spent about a hour looking for it. Finally found it. I was able to find information about my great great aunt, Wanda Majchrycka that proved to tie her to Karol Bistram about whom I had only his name. Happy hunting, Dorothy Powazki is a very important old cemetery in Poland in which many famous Poles have been laid to rest there. This link, I am happy to say still exists.

I just did an experiment with Master Genealogist program. The program will not accept Polish characters in the "Place" or "Name" sections but it will accept them in the MEMOS section. However, the program will not print the characters at all. Debbie Tina Ellis wrote: > My cousin in Poland types using his computer to type diacritical marks into > Family Tree Maker with no problems.

My cousin in Poland types using his computer to type diacritical marks into Family Tree Maker with no problems. I have copy and pasted words into FTM using diacritical marks. They do hold form as the Polish letters do. There should be a way to allow you to use your computer to type them into anything you want. I used to have computer that I programmed to do this. Lost it in a fire. Don't know where to get the instructions on how to do this with my new computer. Maybe someone else knows how to do it.

The major programs do not provide the diacriticals, but a program that I've used since about 1994, BROTHER'S KEEPER, indeed has provision for Polish (and other Slavic) diacriticals. This provision was added some time ago, and now the basic elements of the program itself have been translated into Polish (also a few other languages). I installed the Polish version, as well as the English. A Polish speaker can work with all headings in the Polish language, e.g., headings such as FILE, EDIT, ANCESTORS, DESCENDANTS, GROUP SHEET, MARRIAGE, CHRISTENING, BIRTH, DEATH, PLACE etc. I will be printing out group sheets and descendant charts done in Polish, for my family in Jodłowa when I see them again in September. Information that I enter is not translated, so that dates, places and notes are in English, but the basic info is in Polish. There are some problems right now in changing info that I entered without diacriticals long ago. I can make batch changes of locations, and I think also sources, but there is no way now to change all occurrences of a surname, or first name, for example. Brother's Keeper is a smaller program than the major ones, but the author of the program monitors the mailing list, and is constantly working on updates.
