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 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.
