I appreciate michal_857 for giving me a translation and taking the time to do it. I'm probably being paranoid, but I just want to make sure the message is easily understandible in the Polish language, or if there's anything I should really change around. First is the original message I wrote, and then the translation michal_857 did for me.
To whom it may concern,
I've been doing genealogy research for my family for several years, and have traced my great grandparents back to Biadoliny Poland. I was wondering if we may possibly be related in some way. I've been unable to find out much information about either of my grandparents in any of the public records that have been available to me. If we do have a common ancestor, I was wondering if you would be willing to exchange some information with me.
I live in the United States, and don't speak any Polish. I found somebody that was willing to translate this message for me. If you do speak English yourself just let me know. If not, I will continue to do my best to converse in Polish with you.
I'll give you some of the information that I do have, to see if you recognize any of the names.
Walenty Stolarz born 1879 in Biadoliny Poland. Died in 1939 in Hammond Indiana
Married to:
Anna Banash (Banach/Banas?) born 1879 in Biadoliny Poland. Died 1967 in Hammond Indiana
Walenty had several children, but his son Bernard is my grandfather. His wife Helen Stolarz (Maiden name Mastej) has been in contact with some of our family in Poland over the years, but she wasn't able to give me very much information.
The other family line that I have been able to trace a little bit was Jozef Stolarz. I've been able to find out that his father was named Wawrzyniec Stolarz through an old workbook I found. I also found a letter that was written to him by his sister Karolina Stolarz, so she was obviously his sister. She spoke of a fiance' in the letter, but unfortunately never mentioned him by name. Jozef Stolarz never married and never had any children. The connection to my own family would be that Wawrzyniec would be Walenty Stolarz's uncle, making Jozef Stolarz his cousin.
Hopefully you'll recognize some of these names, and would be willing to help me out further. Or if you don't personally, maybe somebody else in your family would know something more. I really appreciate your time, and hope you have a good day.
Regards,
Joshua Stolarz
Dzie?? dobry,
Od kilku lat prowadz?? badania genealogiczne mojej rodziny. Uda??o mi si?? znale???? pewien ??lad moich pradziadk??w w miejscowo??ci Biadoliny w Polsce. Zastanawiam si?? czy to w??a??ciwy trop i czy faktycznie mam tam korzenie. Niestety moja wiedza jest ma??a, poniewa?? nie by??em w stanie dotrze?? do polskich archiw??w zar??wno urz??dowych jak i ko??cielnych. Je??li mamy wsp??lnego przodka, zastanawiam si?? czy mogliby??my wymieni?? si?? posiadanymi informacjami.
Mieszkam w USA i nie znam polskiego. Na szcz????cie uda??o mi si?? znale???? kogo??, kto przet??umaczy?? dla mnie t?? wiadomo????. Je??li nie zna Pan/Pani angielskiego to postaram si??, z pomoc?? kolegi, wysy??a?? listy po polsku.
Napisz?? kilka informacji, kt??re uda??o mi si?? zdoby??. By?? mo??e rozpozna Pan/Pani kt??r???? z wymienionych os??b:
Walenty Stolarz, urodzony w 1879 w Biadolinach, zmar??y w 1939 w Hammond, Indiana, (USA), m???? Anny Banash (Banach/Banas?) urodzonej w Biadolinach w 1879, zmar??ej w 1939 w Hammond, Indiana (USA).
Jedno z ich dzieci, Bernard, jest moim dziadkiem. Jego ??ona Helena Stolarz (z domu Mastej)?? przez wiele lat mia??a kontakt z rodzin?? w Polsce, ale nie by??a ju?? w stanie da?? mi zbyt wielu informacji.
Moje badania wskazuj??, ??e mog?? by?? te?? spokrewniony z J??zefem Stolarzem. Ze starego skoroszytu dowiedzia??em si??, ??e jego ojciec nazywa?? si?? Wawrzyniec Stolarz. Znalaz??em r??wnie?? list napisany do niego przez siostr??, Karolin?? Stolarz. W li??cie wspomina??a o narzeczonym, niestety nie wymieni??a jego nazwiska. J??zef Stolarz nigdy si?? nie o??eni?? i nie mia?? dzieci. Przypuszczam, ??e Wawrzyniec by?? wujkiem Walentego Stolarza co czyni??o z J??zefa i Walentego kuzynami.
Mam g????bok?? nadziej??, ??e rozpozna Pan/Pani kt??r???? z wymienionych os??b i pomo??e mi w dalszym dzia??aniu. By?? mo??e kto?? starszy z Pana/Pani rodziny lub znajomych pasjonuje si?? histori?? i mo??e posiada?? informacje o moich przodkach, kt??rymi m??g??by si?? ze mn?? podzieli??. Z g??ry najmocniej dzi??kuj?? za zaanga??owanie i za jakiekolwiek informacje.
z wyrazami szacunku,
Joshua Stolarz
