Hi,

I'm new to this forum and wondering if anyone can help me regarding my polish grandfather, Adam Gegotek. He was with the British Army I understand and died here in the UK in 1963. I have managed to obtain his death certificate but I was hoping to have his birth certificate, which I understand will be a bit more trickier as he was born in Krakow. Does anyone know which part of Poland the surname Gegotek comes from? Also, how do I go about obtaining his birth certificate? I really would like to have more information about this side of my family. My grandfather and grandma never married and their relationship although they produced my father was somewhat limited therefore I have little information. I would love to find out more not just for me but for my father and my newborn son when he gets older. Thanks in advance guys x

GĘGOTEK: from the verb gęgać (gaggle - the sound made by geese), so Gęgotek would be the Gaggler. Pronunciaton (roughly): gain-GAW-tek.

Merged thread:
Looking for my step aunt who was born in Suloszowa

My step auntie who was born in Suloszowa who apparently now lives in Krakow and is now 75 years old. The civil register office in Suloszowa have recommended that I contact the Civil Register Office in Suloszowa to obtain her address - is this really possible? Can anyone help me draft such a simple letter to get this information - my dad would love to hear from her, thanks xx
