Anna,
Very nice information. Thankyou.
I am interested in a town that was called Biebersdorf prior to WWII and then given to Poland and renamed Bobrowniki.Closeby was another village called Hartau. After WWII was given to Poland. Do you know if I am in the right area. My GGrandparents lived in Hartau ( near Bad Salzbrunn) and fled after WWI . They settled in Oberhausen,Germany. I ordered the Civil Registration records from LDS and may have found a family member born in 1888. This entire area was hard hit in WWI and WWII. Very few documents remained.
Thanks,
Barb

Hello,
My father was born in Bobrowniki and his descendants are still there. He was an officer in the Polish army but died in 1969 before I could ask much about our past. I live in Australia and have visited Poland half a dozen times but no one in the family could really explain the origins of our name that seems more Italian than Polish. One cousin told me that our grandfather once mentioned that 5oo years before, during the Hussite Movement, Bacias moved north from Italy as the movement was a rebellion against the infallibility of the Pope. Is there any suggestion anyone can give me how to find out more about our name and its origin? There is very little on Italian sites although I did find a village in northern Italy where there appeared to be two families of that name. Hope to hear from someone as I am very interested in my origins.

Hi Gail,
Thank you for your comment!
I’ll see what I can do, I have some friends who live in that area. I don’t want to sound discouraging, but please remember that many, and in some cases ALL records in certain areas were destroyed during WW2.

I have been doing a paternal genealogy search for several years now. I have many documents; birth, marriage and death from my ancestors in Poland, but have never been able to locate a birth certificate for my grandmother. I do have her marriage certificate and the ships manifest from 1907 of her arrival in the U.S. She was born in Jordanowo. I know there are two and hers is the one located in the £abiszyn area, Poznan province. I have written to the church where the marriage certif. was located in Chomêtowo, the Civil Registration office in Labiszyn, the archives in Gnezno, Poznan and Bydgoszcz..no record. Do you have any idea what archives might hold these records. I do not know anything about Jordanowo if it may have a Civil Registration Office in that village. Any information you can supply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Gail
