Fred, Thanks for your reply, much appreciated! I got the name Naliboki, from my father and his siblings whom all came over from there. I know now it is in Belarus. When they were there it was called "White Russia' or at least that's what my cocci tells me. I also know the farm they had was burned when the Germans came in and forced them on a train to Wentdorf, Germany to work in camp before the were able to leave. The camp was subsequently where my father was born. I also know the records were held in a church down the road a bit from their farm, though my cocci told me that the church also was badly burned. To to my assumption there may not be any records from my family every living in the village of Naliboki :( Though I do know that my gadek had siblings whom didn't migrate to the US. I did once receive a email from Krzysztof Niecko, whom I take from his email a distant cousin, though he has never returned my emails. For me it is very unfortunate, both my gadek and bobci, have passed, and my cocci (whom was 15 when she arrived in New York) don't really remember much of that horrid time as she states. They all speak fluent Polish, but my father since he was really small then, never went to a Polish school and only learned Polish from the family, so he can speak but read nor write it. Thank you all! I'm still plugging along! Tracy Kennel ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
