I have booked a trip to Poland for September, 2007. I will fly into Warsaw and work from there to find possible relatives and information about both my parents who immigrated to the United States separately from different parts of Poland and met and married in Erie, PA in 1913 and later moved to Milwaukee in 1917 or 1918. My father, Wadilslaw (Walter) Ladislaus Domalewski named his parents to be Stanley Domalewski and Michalene Leskowski on his Social Security Application. He reportedly came from the area of Poland close to Lithuania. My father's draft registration shows his birthplace to be Lodziajek, Poland. My mother, Anna Grabowski Domalewski, named her parents to be Frawzisek (Frank) Grabowski and Alexandra Zamersoski Grabowski. My mother's Naturalization papers show her birthplace to be Wodka Piaseczna, Poland which, I believe, to be close to the border with Germany. Essentially, other than the above information, I am flying blind. What can I find in Warsaw? Best method of travel in Poland? Any other help thatd anyone can give me. All help will be appricated.

Dick, I rented a car on all my trips to Poland. I use Local Rent a Car (LRC). There are many places to visit in Warsaw. Just Google and you will find many things to do and places to visit. If you speak Polish you will be fine. If not get someone to help it will make life much easier on you. Someone said most speak English not true in the country side. If they are 30 or older they will speak Polish. Have a good trip and enjoy the country. Jim On Jun 26, 2007, at 6:22 PM, Dickdoms@aol.com wrote: > I have booked a trip to Poland for September, 2007.
