polish cheesecake-need explanation & recipe

My grandmother use to make a cheese cake type of pie, which she and my relatives called "Kolach". I may be spelling that wrong, but that is how it sounded. When I did a search online, all I come up with is polish cheese cake or "sernik babci". The pictures look exactly like this pie she use to make. Why did she call it "kolach" ? Does anyone have an easy version of this recipe? Recipes with variations? We found this recipe Kolach 1/2 pressed farmers cheese-it doesn't say cup or other measurement 2 or 3 eggs 3/4 to 1 cup sugar 1/2 lemon-doesn't specify if it's juice and if measured by cups 1/4 cup milk rasins if desired beat egs and sugar, add crumbled cheese, the lemon juice and milk, add rasins, bake 350 40 to 50 mins. It mentions no crust??

I found this link earlier, //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesecake I am still confused, scroll until you see the square dish with the braided top, this website calls it "sernik" but it's square, other pics on website are round. My cousin remembers a square desert: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Polish_cheesecake.jpg my sister and I remember a round pie like desert: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lemoncheesecake-Slice.jpg //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Am_cheesecake.jpg I think "sernik" and "kolacz" are very similiar, but different. sernik, a pie, with a crumb dough you put down as the base, then add cheese filling, and nothing else is added on top? and kolacz, a sqaure dish with a heavier bread with a cheese filling placed on top, then more dough braded on top?

I found a recipe in my polish traditions book. It is called: Serowiec or Cottage Cheese Cake and another recipe called Cream Cheese cake with a sour cream topping variation. Each of them has the polish title "serowiec". The first has a graham cracker crust and the cheese used is cottage cheese, and you use a round cake pan, the second has a pastry crust with cream cheese for the cheese, and then has the sour cream variation and spring form pan. I think this is what I was remembering. So I am giving it a go for Easter.

Kolach 1/2 pressed farmers cheese-it doesn't say cup or other measurement (I think it is 1/2 kg = about pound) 2 or 3 eggs 3/4 to 1 cup sugar 1/2 lemon-doesn't specify if it's juice and if measured by cups (guessing juice but you can also add zest?) 1/4 cup milk rasins if desired
