Chris, Neither surname spelling can be found in Poland. They were probably changed in order to fit with the local alphabet. I only found one spelling which is close enough to what you have provided. You might want to watch for it in Polish records: Pis'lak - (in case the diacritical mark doesn't appear = Pis~lak) Debbie Csgen50@aol.com wrote: > > > Hi, > > In actual fact, by setting the ball rolling in this discussion, you and > everyone else have helped me to understand the difficulties in obtaining > information about rellies in Poland.
