Yes I am ethnically Polish as my last name indicates. I assume akt urodzenis is the same as a birth certificate and unfortunately all papers were lost except the birth certificate of one of my sisters. I also have in my possession medals earned by my uncle in England as a tank commander. My aunt, her husband and several children were taken by USSR in the middle of the night and sent to Siberia. After Sikorski's deal with Russia they were set free and migrated through the middle east to africa to england and then USA. Would you recommend I contact the Polish consulate here in the US or Poland? The village I was born in was at that time Poland, today western Ukraine.

In my opinion your should get Polish citizenship if you are not already a Polish citizen. But lets look at Polish law and see what this says about a case like yours. What was your previous citizenship you help when you came into the USA? Are you ethnically Polish or Ukrainian? Did you ever have a Polish akt urodzenia or have you ever heard this term? Please forgive my ignorance, where was the town you were born? I do not know that area? In 1936 was it Western Ukraine (USSR) or part of Poland? I think it was part of Poland. I love Eastern Europe, both Ukraine and Poland, so whatever you are its all good in my book. I guess I am a Slavophile :) This is an incredibly heoric story.

My entire family (Catholic) were moved to various labor camps by the Nazis, ending up in Bavaria. My father was taken from the family to dig ditches for the Wermacht and we did not see him for 14 years. My mother, 2 sistes and myself emigrated to the US sponsored by the Polish National Alliance in 1949. I became a US citizen in the late 1950's and graduated from medical school in 1961. My question is this: can I get a Polish citizenship/passport or am I doomed to consider myself Ukrainian forever. 2 of my uncles fought with the Polish division of the British army after escaping from a Nazi pow camp of Polish soldiers. Both were in the cavalry. 2 uncles died in concentration camps. I was born in 1936 in Terebunie, Antonowka, Sarny, Wolyn.

I would look on goldenline.pl and also talk to some recruiters for a job with a firm or go to Gumtree and look for private work. Polish people are really into building and really into finding ways to heat their homes in different ways. There are many industrial jobs connected to ventilation of course. I would start with Gumtree to browse the ads with help of an online translate tool and see what you see. But the market is the same as any other country in the world, there is a real need for specialists. This is what a recruiter told who runs a firm in Krakow, they need specialists.

I am being fair. I am still correcting your comments, not offended by your use of the English language just puzzled why you do not take the time to spell/grammar check or write in normal sentences with proper punctuation. I would not like to read chat style writing on a website about languages. I am not perfect nor a grammarian but as a courtesy to readers I try to write in sentences.

And I told you, if you so bothered by my English just erase my comments. I don't want from you anything, and you know what?

I don’t need to hire someone else, I don’t need to hire anyone, those comments did written in the English language my book is not, you’re not following.

And I told you, if you so bothered by my English just erase my comments.

I don’t want from you anything, and you know what? If you were nicer I would have hired you, if you just said:

“there is a place called Pawlowice, I think that you can start there, if you want i can do more research for a fee”

That would have been enough and you wouldn’t have to tolerate my English.

I’m glad you have so many followers and don’t patronize me, I have a lot going in my life as well everybody have.

However, to go further and spend hours or weeks, creating a list of towns, I will do for a fee. That is the free market, what is wrong with that? First, I can reply to you as long as you grammar, spell and capitalization check you comments. Every comment you write I spend five to ten minutes editing as the English is so poorly constructed with no capitalization and spelling mistakes. As a general policy I do not approve comments that are poorly written or are not written in English sentences. The readers do not see this as I have to try to correct as many of the errors as possible. Second, what do you want from me? To do your research and construct a list? I will do that or help you find someone but that takes time and requires payment. I can answer gernal questions based on my experience and knowlege about Poland for anyone. I can do research for people I feel like, but I have other things going on in my life and my blogs have over 10,000 more like 20,000 comments and I try to reply to every comment the best I can. However, if time consuming research is required, ussually I still do it and reply with an asnwer. But I have spend so much time going back and forth and correcting and editing your comments because they were not written in the English language with grammar etc, that I think it is best you hire someone. I think that is fair.

Believe it or not, I'm not writing the book in the English language although it will undergo a translation for that ill pay. All I asked for is one name, when you offered a list I said why not? This is the section of "Ask any question about Poland" isn't it? So I asked for a small detail that an expert like you should know, so you gave me a very general answer, and after a slandering you gave me one specific answer, that was all I was looking for, a name, not a whole research. how am I suppose to know, you do those stuff for a fee? you could have offer that from the very beginning without being obnoxious and if you really bothered by my English you can erase all of what I wrote here. Now I really want to end this corresponding on a good note, so please if you can accept my apology, there have must be a misunderstanding on the way,I never meant to bother you, and I insist on thanking you so.

I gave you one town, and I can give you some more. I told you the region to look exactly where you will find scores of towns. I gave you good references that you can further research. But why would I work for you for free? I will not do your research for you, I think that is very reasonable. I will also help you find a Polish speaking research partner if you like. But you are the one, writing a book on Poland. If you would like to paypal me some money I will help you with the legwork or grunt work for your book. Also I continuously have to clean up your comments for grammar and capialization errors can you get a plug-in like after the deadline and this might help. I can not image you would write your book like that? Like I said, if you pay me I will get you that list.
