Tina, How did you find out about Mackanis? Is this something I can look into or information only you can get. thanks Teresa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Teresa, This looks more like a Lithuanian name versus a Polish one. There is one Mackanis with a listed telephone number in Lithuania. There was one adult in Poland in 1990 with this surname living in the province of Elbl¹skie Nazwisko Ogólna liczba Rozmieszczenie Mackanis 1 El:1 Tina Ellis -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider - http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange
Manaia, The information of the Testimony of Morality is on a 4x6 card. The front is in English, other than the nee word, and the back is I believe in Polish. Instead of nee it says z domu then the name Mackanis. The card says in Rechenfeld b. Munster 30.9.1949r. The English side says: During me stay in Germany at the Polish Camp thea's person was of good bekaweur and consucted himself correctly. (a few spelling mistakes) It is very interesting, because now I am thinking my grandfathers mom wasn't Polish? Mackanis doesn't sound Polish, but then again you never know. I am on a hunt. Thank you for the information you gave me.

When I went to Poland in 2005 I used "Discovering Roots " _http://www.discovering-roots.pl/welcome.htm_ (http://www.discovering-roots.pl/welcome.htm) They do research, act as personal guides and are very reliable ....... Our guide was Magda Smolka ...she was knowledgable and a delightful person .......the other principal Lukasz Bielecki is well known in the craft and is currently the leader of the Posen Marriage project .. I doubt you will find any better researchers or guides in Poland.. Jim Piechorowski ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

The name following nee is the maiden name. In Polish they use z instead of nee.

I have a better idea. There is a special bureau in Poland, that can help you. *CENTRAL BUREAU OF ADDRESSES IN POLAND *Centralne Biuro Adresowe Sekcja Zapytan Zagranicznych ul. Kazimierzowska 60 02-543 Warszawa POLAND You can write your letter in English. They will reply in Polish. Give them as much information as you can. A must is the village or town in which they lived. If you know the province, that helps, as there are many towns with the same names in other provinces, just as there are many towns with the same name in the US. Give as much information as you can, i. e. your ancestors full name (using maiden names, also), dates of birth, siblings names and where they were from. In other words you are giving them all the data they need for you to connect with the known relative you wish to contact. Give them that person's full name and their ancestors. It may take up to a year to hear from anyone. They will not let you know where your relatives are. They will contact them, and if they wish to reach you, they will. Send a letter to your relative in another envelope for them to mail it to them. Tell them the relationship to this person you wish to contact and how you connect with them as a relative. Remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. NOTE: They will not try to help you if you do not present enough data to find your family member. They will not go on a wild goose chase for you. Good luck.

I took a trip t0 Poland to do the same thing. I did find my maternal side in the village of Zmijewo, and the paternal side in Bydgoszcz. We went to the cemetery, and most of the names were the same as my mother's maiden name Zmijewski. After reading several books I realized that surnames were taken either after the name of the village, occupation, etc. My father's side was Kluskowski, which kluska means noodle. Having been to the churches and meeting people ,I was satisfied, and happy that I went to visit the land of my ancestors. My parents were born here in US, it was my grandparents that came in late 1800's I am interested in how you will handle this search please e-mail me. I communicated with a Polish woman who drove us around Poland. That is your best chance in finding places. We spent three weeks there. It is beautifull country ...enjoy it.

Thomas Bankoske b.1849 (Bankowski, Bunczkowski, Binkowski, etc.) and his wife Mary Jaguszewski immigrated from "German Poland" (on some documents called Poland or Germany) around 1884. They settled in Dunkirk New York to work in the Brooks locomotive plant. Do not know where they came from or what port they entered. They had three children when they came to the U.S. ( Frank, John and Mary) and then had three more (William, Lucy and Sophia). They were Catholic. >From some people that know the area of Dunkirk - I understand that most of the Poles coming over at this time period came from Krakow and Padow areas. I have been unable to find a town named on any documents. Any ideas? Cathy Bankoske cbankoske@gmail.com
