    1. Re: [POLAND] maiden names
    2. Debbie, On one of the films I looked at there we two pages as in a left and right side of a book. It was by month and date. I could read the date of birth and they were baptism records. On the right page most of the pages had a church seal. I did not bother to copy the seal but it had a cross in the center. The seal on the letter, which was used as my grandmother's birth certificate, It has a lady in the center. It is a church seal so I am sure it was of Mother Mary on the seal. There are other words going around the seal but most of it is not legible. The tape number that you gave, which I have already ordered, should be in soon. It has been a few weeks. When I read it I will let you know what I find and if I can find a matching seal on those records. The family center near me has the ability to down load to a flash drive. It is easier to do that than to do a paper copy then scan it into my computer. If anyone is looking for family from that area, please let me know and I will look for them on the film also. It is my understanding that people from some regions would settle in certain areas of the US. Logically it would be for language and most likely they knew people there who came over before. My grandmother's family settled in Nanticote, Pittston area of Pa. The coal mining region of Pa. Later this summer I hope to go to the church there as I understand they have all the records back to when they first started in 1870. So they would have the baptism records of my grandmother's brothers and sisters. They were all born here. Again thanks for you help. Sam C. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
