Deb, When you write to the church make sure to ask two things (besides your family questions): 1. If you do not have the records please tell me where they are located. 2. How can I make a donation for a mass? All in Polish of course. Good luck Debbie deb24 wrote: > Tina, and Debbie, thanks for your help.

Debbie, Thanks for your idea about requesting where to find my records if the parish doesn't have them. I didn't think about that. I have written (with success) to 2 churches in different parts of Poland. I have always enclosed my donation with my request. Is it better to have the priest suggest a donation?
