Thank you for visiting my guest book. Thanks to those who have signed it, stating who you're looking for, and about your roots. Do you know the province or area in Poland your family was from? Did your relatives immigrate to America, another country, or is your family still in Poland? I love hearing other people's stories. I find it inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Julie

| Message | I wanted to submit my Polish family lines to share with you. I have decent information about the families once here, but nothing about them in Poland. The locations in Poland are based on what my great-great aunts told me (their parents, Jacob Pilarski and Helena Mechavich, were born in Poland). Pilarski - possibly from near Gniesno. Arrived in the US (New York) in mid 1870's and settled in McLeod Co., Minnesota. Three siblings: Frank, Josephine, and John. Frank married after he came to the US. I haven't determined if Josephine married John Faloron before or after she came to the US. John brought his wife Josephine Pietrowski (or Bilkowski) and children George, Jacob, and Victoria. Cielinski and Misiewiez - possibly from near Czestechowa. Arrived in the US (New York) in the mid 1870's-early 1880's and settled in McLeod Co., Minnesota. Matthew and Rose (Piejda) Cielinski came to the US with their children and their families: Frances (Vincent Bielejewski), John (Antonina Andvejewski), Josephine (George Mechavich/Wojciech Misiewiez), Lizzie (Frank Schloderbach), Mary (John Imbriowiz), and Frank. Frank married after the family immigrated. The families stayed in Minnesota with the exception of Lizzie and Mary who went to Chicago. They did not come all at the same time but appear to have arrived by 1885. George Mechavich had two brothers and three sisters still in Poland at the time of his death in 1931. |

| Message | My grandmother was Mary Bialek who I think was born in Zywiec 1896 to Joseph Bialek and Frances Kastelink. I believe there were 8 children. Mary and her twin sister took a catle boat to the USA and eventually made it to Gary, Indiana. I'm not sure how to get started on how to find information about Mary's family and track if there are any living relatives. It is possible that some of them moved to Krakow. Any ideas on how to get started? Thank you! |

| Message | I have been researching my wife's family for some years. Her folks were from Galicia. The Stefanczyk paternal side of her family were from Dabrowa Tarnowska and her Wojcik maternal side were from Zakliczyn. Needless to say I enjoy it when I come upon a site such as yours. It is superbly organized. |

| Message | Hi Julie, you have a beautifully designed blog-really visually inviting. I'm very interested in anything to do with Krackow because my grandmother Vladislava Feliksovna Tomashevskaja was born there in the district of Debno, I think, in 1901.Her mother was Phyllis Covaizka. My investigations have just begun..... |

| Message | Hi Uncle Richard, How fun to see you sign my guest book! Your father has loaned me pictures and letters a little at a time which I have scanned. He does this in the hopes that I can share these stories and pictures with as many family as possible. He is happy to (and wishes to) share all the family history we find. The majority of information on this blog are things I am just learning and sharing with him. A lot of the pictures and letters mentioned on this blog, your father didn't even see until after his father Paul passed away. See my post yesterday, 9 Jan 2011, about how we (your father and I) met some Sanetra family, and some pictures I just got, about two weeks ago. Enjoy! Great to hear from you. I will send you my email address. I am happy to send you digital copies of the family pictures. Thanks, Julie  |

| Message | Hello Dennis, Thank you for posting the information about your family, and signing my guest book. Thank you for giving great details, so that others may recognize the information. I have a few questions that will help me as I keep an eye out for your family. Have you found Zofia, Frances and Rose on immigration records into the United States? If not, I will do some searches for you. Do you know the Polish spellings for the names? Like was Frances, Franciszka? Was Rose short for Rozalia? Do you know if Zofia went through Ellis Island? Or if she went through Canada and then the United States? I will keep an eye out for your Rosenthal and Grabek family. I am making a note in my notebook to remember. I hope others may keep an eye out for Dennis' family as well. Thanks, Julie |

| Message | About Dirk's message: I started emailing with Dirk, right after he posted on this guestbook. He identified my unknown wedding picture as Ludwig Sanetra & Carolina Strzawi. I have since labeled the picture on my blog. See posting 14 Jun 2009. Then my posting after emailing with Dirk, 20 Aug 2010. There is information about his family in the Aug 2010 post. We both still wish to know more about Ludwig's family. I have been told all Sanetra's from Zywiec were related. I hope to find to find a connection between our two Sanetra families from Zywiec. --------- Thank you Dirk for visiting my blog, identifying the picture and corresponding with me. Your friend, Julie |

| Message | I stumbled on this site while searching my last name for security reasons. Wow, I was amazed at this, especially seeing pictures of my Grandparents. My father is Richard and his father is Paul Sanetra. I was never told of my family history. Thanks for all the info. |
