Looking for Zaks in the Topola/Stonowice area

I have found out my grandfather was born here. His last name was Zak. They only emmigrated to the US in 1955, so I figure I must still have some kinfolk in Poland somewhere.

Any help is appreciated! :o)

Looking for Zaks

OK, I can't help you with genealogy, but here's a little remark about the danger of using English rules for Polish names :)
I was sure you meant the German name Sachs (with Polish phonetic spelling, German "s" = "z", "ch" = "k", because the spelling of many names of German origin was polonized), but I guess the name was Żak, so it's better to write "looking for Żak/Zak family", not "Zaks" :)
This way you avoid the chance that someone doesn't even read your thread, because they wouldn't recognize the name in the thread title.

Thank you! Yes, our family name was Zak. Is there any way I can correct the error in my thread heading so people will recognize the name?
