Has anyone actually been able to read any of the NY times articles for free?? It seems that they want to charge per article after one obtains the article title. I followed Tina's procedure and only obtain a number of article headings. Then, a "Buy Now" $3.95 offer. JD

Please excuse my spelling errors! Dorothy, One such site is www.eholiday.pl If you choose podlaskie in the drop-down menu for lokalizacja and then agroturystyka for rodzaj obiektu you will see some choices. The województwo (province) for Białystok is Podlaskie. You can also do a search for "agrotourism" to find more options. These accomodations vary but can be very advantageous when you'd like to learn about an area. We have met some wonderful people and have become friends with some while doing so. There are several sites for locating farms, so keep searching and have fun!

Would it be possible for someone to translate this brief newspaper article for me from Polish to English. I don't know how to enter the Polish characters using this keyboard so I will put the accented characters after the letter unless someone can give me a better way to do this. BO'JKA MALZ'EN'SKA.

Hi, I just wanted to thank Andy and Gerald for the kind words they said about me in recent notes. There are those who will tell you I don't know what I'm talking about and should keep my mouth shut. I don't happen to agree with them; but life would be boring if we all agreed on everything. Let's just say I'm interested in the language, culture, and history of central and eastern Europe, and over the years I've learned some things. I enjoy sharing what I've learned with others. If what I say helps you, great! If not, well at least I tried -- I'd rather try and fail than sit back and do nothing. Plus, if you try, once in a while you succeed.... Fred Hoffman

I just spotted this message but haven't noticed any English translation of it - it could be very useful to someone. Mr Zbigniew Glowka says he is in the possession of the complete set of parish registers for the parish of Straconek (area Bielsko-Biala) and mentions some occurring surnames - Pisch/Piesch/Pysz,Santorossa, Horecki, Przyby?a, Klimczok, Gasi?ski, G??wka, Krywult,Dudziak. He goes on to says that he has a good relationship with parishes near Andrychow (some surnames there are Kud?acik, Walusiak, Panek, Potempa, Gasi?ski). he would like to help with genealogical reearch in the old western Galicia and Wielkopolska (areas around Gniezno, ?erkowo, Jarocin, Ostrow Wielkopolski) Obviously I have had no contact with him - I have just translated his message - Ihe may be looking for paid work although nothing in the message actually indicates that - he may just be a fellow genealogist wanting to be helpful. I'm guessing he has no English since he wrote in Polish but that may also be wrong. Anyway - could be helpful to someone needing information from the named areas.

Hi, Fred is a serious expert/specialist in this amazing realm of Eastern European names. His books and articles are loaded with tons of interesting, important and very useful information. And, as you have seen, he is an extremely articulate writer. Serious researchers and beginners alike owe it to themselves to have his material available for study and reference. Your work and time spent will be richer for it. Gerald Cierpilowski Lock Haven, PA On Oct 9, 2007, at 7:50 AM, Andy wrote: > What an incredible wealth of knowledge Fred has to offer.

bobbysushi@gmail.com asked what GOSPODARSTWA AGROTURYSTYCZNE means. It means farms (very small compared with USA) which also take paying guests. i.e they rent rooms or little holiday cottages. It has become very popular in Poland and is a nice way of staying in the countryside. Danusia
