Hi, I found an address: What does is say please? Powiet Wotozyn Wajewotstwo Nowogrudek Poczta Wisniewo Wies Bakatowa 12 I would like to send a letter to this address to see if has anything to do with my family. Is this the way I would show it on the envelope? Teresa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Don't forget to add Poland as the last word in the address! You should also add the postal code (zip code) for the town. Another suggestion is not to use stamps (The letter may disappear to a stamp collector) but rather ask the post office to put a "stamp sticker" on it. I've had much better luck doing it this way. JD

Teresa, The address should be; /name first..../? ................................... ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? wies;????? BAKATOWA 12 ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? poczta;?? WISNIEWO ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? powiat;?? WOLOZYN ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? wojewodztwo; NOWOGRUDEK ??? ??? ??? ??? BELARUS Some of the letters in address? are different, because were written in word pronounced way specific for Polish Borders of mixed languages of Polish, Lithuanian and Belarusssian. In Polish language letter L has also other twin symbol with dash made at 45 degree angle to the vertical stem of letter at its 2/3 of the height -similar to the dash in small letter t in all languages -also apply to the capital? L . This specific? letter is pronounced softer, it sound as letter w sounds in English.
