Jankowice Town - records

Does anyone know if there are any records (or where to locate them) of any villagers from this town? I understand it was burnt down by those nice german soldiers during WW2 and now would be in current day Belarus.

what time frame king? early 1900s? prior to that? later then that?

poland changed so much, so many times. when you mentioned jankowice
I was thinking malopolskie, the way to get the records is writing the parish
but you have to make sure cause now there are more churches.

Krysia can probably locate more then me with this one. or even Wroclaw.
I am better with states. but I did get docs from poland.

anything up til the 1940's, my family really know nothing of their family name heritage as that town was burnt down and most records destroyed with it. i can only go back as far as my great grandparents.

What last names are you looking up? for some reason jankowice sounds so familiar, like I have searched around that area, but I am not positive. I know of Jankowo which is near Lomza.

Quoting: King Sobieski i just get names from the states when i type my last name on ancestry search engines. Maybe It was "Americanized" and orginal version is a bit different ?

that is why i was trying to locate the town records to find out what the original spelling of my name was. i dont think it was americanized as i reside in australia and have the same spelling as those in america.

its just my username, sobieski was the general that freed Vienna from the turks way back in the day. maybe you are a descendant of him.

lol ok well email me if you want to not post the names online, understandable.

google searching, then I randomly email and get good responses. they send me
theirs and I send mine.

yes it could, because name spellings come up differently. never say never

mormon site has a history center, they microfilmed tons of stuff in poland.

you can do a town search and see what is microfilmed. do you have a local
history center?

ya know what I will check and see if you have any in australia.
if you do, you can order these films and go copy the records of all folks pertaining
to your last name and figure it out from there.

pretty sure you will find something

king, this is all the australia centers, so you do have resources.

I couldnt list them all, Admin would get mad at me for using up so much
space

but if you go into the genealogy sticky links, I posted the mormon link there
once you get into the site, go to the catalog section, type in the place etc

it also shows locations of family history librarys, you have alot in australia.
if you need any more help with it, I will be happy to direct you

polishroots.org/gendobry/GenDobry_vol2_no8.htm ok, heres some more interesting reading about Jankowice, jankowo, which I do have some ties to a town name jankowo, but prob not same name. and seriously , these mormons can help you find resources, I am not kidding. They did this for that reason (microfilmed).

Could the town in question be Jankowicze? Jankowicze is located southeast of Naliboki. Naliboki is located about midpoint between the cities of Lida and Minsk, in Belarus.

My Grandfather is from Jankowice, I found several spellings but Jankowice is the only hit I got. I found it in southern Poland in an industrial area. But when I mapquested in, I got 6 hits, so i don't know which one he is from.

King, you will definitely get help from the Mormons (Family History Center). That is how I knew when my relatives came over from Poland to USA. FHCs are worldwide. The help was freely given from the center I went to. In USA, we also have internet use of ELLIS ISLAND immigration records.

I know what king is saying, cause he doesnt have that far back so he would be more then likely looking blindly at records. if you get a definate on the town name and location, you can write to the church if someone can get the address? anyone willing to help KS locate a address of a Church so that he can write to them and get some records?

King SobieskiThreads: 7 Posts: 1,103 Joined: Jan 22, 07 ♂	Mar 29, 07, 17:52 #27
i looked up on the mormon site for the jankowicze and it came up nought.

KS: I am also looking at my ancestry and have found out a bit about mine who also came from Jankowice/Rudnia (Belarus) area during that time. If you're from Melbourne, register on GaduGadu forum on the DziuplaMelbourne site and we can chat there.
