Debbie is having trouble posting to the list, so I'm forwarding this for her. ----- Mick, There are two S~niadowo in Poland and both are in northern Poland. One is in L~omz~a powiat. S~niadowo is also a gmina. http://tinyurl.com/6hrhk4h Are you sure the LDS have the films from _this_ village? Yes, your only recourse is to write to the parish in Polish. http://www.sniadowo.powiatlomzynski.pl/index.php?k=25 Koziki is very close to S~niadowo in old woj. L~omz~a. http://mapa.szukacz.pl/?&n=53.096489&e=22.040943&z=48m&typ=n&m=Koziki&poi=hotel&t= Have you by chance looked at a Polish genealogy how-to book?

Since the LDS film for this parish doesn't have these dates due to the 100 year cut-off, I'm expecting I can only get a record by writing the church directly and ask for a record within the 1884 - 1888 range. Is that my only approach? (I've had lots of help from members in the past few years and doesn't look like I can get any better with the birthdate) > > > > In the meantime, I'm wondering if the LDS film for the Sniadowo parish could hold other info for me. > > It seems my grandfather's parents were George Jastrzembski and Josephine Konopka and he had 2 sisters most likely named Bernadette and Victoria all staying in Poland.

In prior posts, I was told that both Jastrzembski and Konopka were both common names so it might be a long shot. > > > > Thank you for any opinions and suggestions! > > mick > > Mrs. MICK wrote: I received his Alien Registration Form and it listed hisbirthplace as Koziki Poland. I've gathered a small list of towns named Koziki but they all seem to be in the former Prussian partition.
