My mistake, I meant Andrzej not Audrzej. As for the writing the person that wrote it, was my Great Aunt, and she was writing it in english. That is why I mentioned the two names I did. Because I can make out what it says just not sure if one of the letters is a u or an a. But I will try and get a legible image of the photo on here.

For example, the Polish version of Andrew is ANDRZEJ, not Audrzej. Polish is a declined language and, as such, your transcription could well have included word endings based on sentence usage. That would influence the proper rendition of the town name. Cheers, Roman rgdtad05@aol.com wrote: > Yesterday I was given a photo of my Great Grandparents, Andrew and > Paulina Ostafin.
