Gay, Yes I'm on holiday and yes I've done research. I arrived Sept. 1 and leave for home (USA) Monday. We are getting ready to leave Olsztyn headed for one night in Augustow, then Warsaw and home. We started in Warsaw, flew to Rzeszow, rented a car and then stayed in Sanok, Krakow, Walbrzych, Gniezno, Solec Kujawski, Olsztyn, Augustow, and Warsaw. I will be posting my Trip Diaries to my web site a few weeks after I return home. If you'd like to read about some of my previous trips (this was my 13th) and see photos of villages I've at least driven through go to: http://www.polishfamily.com Even if you don't have ancestral ties to Poland it's a beautiful place. There is no problem with language unless you want to do research in some smaller civil archives and all church diocesan archives.

Hi Debbie Were you aware that the Podkarpacka Digital Library has 218 entries for Bukowsko?  Some may be helpful to you.  To get these books, you have to have their java installed on your computer.

Jim, My cousin, Ewa, the teacher in Bukowsko mentioned this to me. I won't have an opportunity to do a search until I get home. Thanks for reminding me!
