Jane, I don't think it's the bishop. I think it was the priest (now a monsignor) archivist. However, he received an assistant a year or so ago so perhaps things have changed. I would really appreciate hearing how this goes, if you do write to Przemys~l. I am almost certain that the priest won't do any research for you in Przemys~l. Now, if you meant would the priest research in his own records, that's certainly a possibility and one which needs to be explored. It is common for priests to respond to our requests. However, they need to be short and to the point; "Just the facts, ma'am." Don't send money up front but do ask how you can make a donation. Also ask where the records would be if he doesn't have them. My understanding is that Kasia isn't doing research any longer. She's more into being a tour guide but will do research with the people she's guiding. "We" are in dire need of a researcher for southeastern Poland!

That's what I meant, Debbie. To look into his own records. Do you suppose they have a copier on hand? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Greenlee" <daveg@airmail.net> To: <poland-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 26, 2008 5:14 PM Subject: Re: [POLAND] Lubenia > Jane, > > I don't think it's the bishop.

Jane, I have no way of knowing. Some parishes do have copiers, others don't. To be safe, ask for a copy of the record. Debbie Jane wrote: > That's what I meant, Debbie. To look into his own records.
