Laverne, You can go to the rectory and ask the assistant there for help. Try and make an appointment. I did not see the priest in Skrwilno but the assistant helped. He got the books for marriages and deaths and looked up the names I was interested in on the spot.

I am sorry, I should have said that was my last trip. I don't travel that far anymore. I am in my 80's. I have worked on the family history most of my adult life, and would like to have more to add to the records. That is why I went to Poland, and I am happy I had the opportunity...it is beautiful country. Should I write to the Catholic Church in Zmijewo,Poland.? The priest would not talk to us. I had a girl with me,who spoke Polish , she was upset,too. We did go to the cemetery. It was overgrown with a thorny ground cover. The cemetery was not maintained. I did take a picture of the grave marker, but it is so old I can hardly read it.
