Hi, Kuba, Regarding my note on 1990 vs 2002 PESEL data, you wrote: > I am sure glad you posted this. I'm pleased to hear that. I was hoping I hadn't bored everyone to tears, for no good reason ;-) It's reassuring to know the info interested you. > As far a Rymut on my surname it is inaccurate. I know > more people with my last name then he accounts for. I believe you. We had a discussion on one of the mailing lists about just how accurate that data is -- I can't remember if it was this list, or Poland-Roots, or what. In any case, the 1990 data covered about 93% of nearly 38 million Polish citizens, and the 2002 data covered 100% (well, as near as can be) of over 38 million. Anyone who thinks there aren't going to be errors in databases of that size is probably waiting for a Nigerian lawyer to send him 10 million dollars.... As best I can tell, the data is reasonably accurate, and probably about as good as we're going to get. But I don't doubt for one second there are plenty of mistakes. This is another good reason why those of us interested in family history research have to remember: NEVER take any source for Gospel! Get the best info you can, but keep a grain of salt handy. With any luck, your research will help you get more reliable info. Fred
