My grandmother, Anna Rutkowska, always said she was from Augustow. I found on immigration records that she says she was from the village of Bialobrzegi. Any idea what parish I would need to contact? Also, several years ago genealogy sites suggested sending $50 with requests. Is this still good advice?

RUTKOWSKI: root-word ruta (rue, a herb); most likely a toponymic tag from places such as Rutki, Rutkowszczyzna, Rutkowskie or Rutkowo (Rueville, Rueton, etc.).

Carol first ask if they can locate records, then send them a decent donation, thats not really very much now a days , I usually send
more then that, especially to the church.
