My grandmother's maiden name was Chmielewski. My grandfather's name was Vincent Frank Baczek and he listed Chorzele where he was from. I wrote to the diocese about two years ago. They said they had no record of my grandmother. I hope this information helps you help me to locate the town in which my grandmother came from. Thanking you in advance.
