I would suggest you try Heritage Quest, available on line using Maryland library cards. If you are not in Maryland check with your local public library. There are just too many names for me to type and too many possible variant names that I might miss.

Surnames: WITKOWSKI Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IEC.2ACE/1153 Message Board Post: Hi. My grand father's name was Stanilslaw Witkowski. He was born in a village called Borowna, in Malopolskie, near Nowy Wisnicz on April 1910. I know that his father's name was Jan Witkowski. My grand father lived in France where he got married, worked, and died. We never knew about his family, or if he had brothers and sisters. The only thing he said is that he had some relatives in the United States. I wrote in Poland to have more informations, and I'm waiting but if somebody can tell me something about my great grand father, I would be very happy.
