Regardless of whether you've been to Poland or not, I think everyone will enjoy the book, _A Polish son in the Motherland_, by Leonard Kniffel. ISBN 1-58544-441-3 Texas A&M University Press It's the true story of a man who moved to Poland for about six months in 2000, to search for his mother's family. Kniffel didn't do this after researching his ancestry though. He went over with some names, photos, village names and, I think, a good knowledge of the language. Those who've been to Poland will certainly smile time and again when reading of Kniffel's experiences. Those who haven't been to Poland yet will get a glimpse into what it's like to try and accomplish a goal. The book is a light read and very enjoyable. It's only about 245 pages, no pictures. http://www.tamu.edu/upress/BOOKS/2005/kniffel.htm http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&ean=9781585444205 Debbie I have no connection with this book or the publisher.
