Szewczyk, Toczko, Kurzydlo family from Wara POLAND

I am looking for my grandmothers family. She came to the US in 1914. Her mothers maiden name was Maria Szewczyk, and her fathers name was Jan Toczko. She had a sister Karolina Kurzydlo, and a brother who died I think in 1972, named Michael, who left a wife and 3 children. If anyone has any information I would appreciate it. I would like to find the church where she was baptised so I could possibly find her family with their assistance.

Looking for information about TOCZKO

Grandmothers name Zofia Toczko, from Wara POLAND. Mothers name Maria Szewczyk, fathers name Jan Toczek. A sister Karolina Kurzydlo, a brother Michael Toczek. A niece, Karolina daughter, from Zabrze named Janina Blaszcyk.

What information are you looking for? Census records? Ship manifest? Polish records?

I am looking for Polish records to find the family she left there.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wara you mean this WARA? (Click and check). If YES LOL, My mother was born in NIEWISTKA - a village next to WARA. LOL

yes thats the name WARA. Thanks

The easiest way is to go to Cemetery in Nozdrzec village and find their graves in the day of the death (1 - November) and ask local peoples for their relatives, or simply wait for them around the grave

In Poland there could be many villages called WARA (I mean WARA - Subcarpathian Voivodeship)

The WARA is in Province Podkarpackie. What is Subcarpathian Voiodeship?

The WARA I am speaking of is the town above NIEWISTKA. Do you know of any churches in that area? I am writing the church to get some information, any information, I can get about my family. My cousins lived in ZABRZE, and WARA.
Thank you so much for your help. Is your mother still in NIEWISTKA?

Podkarpackie is the Polish name for the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, I'm pretty sure.

www.nozdrzec.pl - this is a site www of Nozdrzec COMMUNE (WARA is part of it) so do research, I will try to find phone calls, and address

This is a address of church in Nozdrzec (In this Village there is a CEMETERY where your ancestors are buried:

I can't thank you enough for all you help. I am going to write the church and see if I can get some information from them too. I really appreciate all you have done.

Listen this! I live in Brzozow - a city where many peoples from villages like WARA moved in, I was told by my mother that Kurzydło family from Brzozow originate from WARA!!!! I know well Jasiek Kurzydło - his mother came to Brzozów from Wara! I will give you telephone number later and you will call and ask:

If Karolina Kurzydlo is a grandmother of her? MOTHER of Jasiek Kurzydło is probably a GRANDCHILD OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER SISTER - KAROLINA KURZYDłO

I will give you a telephone number later, be patience!

thank you, thank you. I'll be patient!

I want to be ANONYMOUS. I have found a phone number in Brzozow, Podkarpackie named Kazimierz Kurzydło:

0048134341706

I'm not sure 100% if they originate from WARA. Call and ask them: if they have relatives in Wara and know Karolina Kurzydło.

I'm awaiting your respond.

P.S. and of course Province Podkarpackie is Subcarpathian Voivodeship [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcarpathian_Voivodship - go there and see Brzozów - a place where your close family live]

Do you know anyone named Marjan Kurzydlo? I need help with my Polish to speak to anyone so it will take time. Thank you again. You have beenwonderful.

Globetotter,

excellent news, welcome back

I don't know but I know that a woman surnamed Kurzydło is oven traveling to Wara, cuz she has relatives there.

Is there any way you could get me addresses of Kurzdylo, my Polish stinks and writing a letter would be better. There are no Toczko around? You have been such a big help for me the links you have given me have helped me understand where everyplace is located. Thanks again

I can give you address of Kazimierz Kurzydło but I'm not sure if he is relative to you, wait a moment.

There are many Toczko's in Brzozów but I don't know how many of them have relatives in WARA.

I have this address from WARA (Located by phone book):

Alina i Kazimierz Toczek
Wara 1
36-245 Nozdrzec
Podkarpackie
Poland

Try to write them and ask about if they are relatives to Toczko's you are looking for

Kazimierz Kurzydło
Harcerska 15
36-200 Brzozów
Podkarpackie
Poland

They were baptized probably there:

Do you think if I write in English they will be able to translate? My polish really stinks, I am ashamed to say. You have been such a big help to me.
I am hoping these are my relatives.

Everybody in Poland a young peoples will understand, but if they want to answer to you?

I found a web site that helped me write letters into Polish, and to translate polish into english. Translating Polish into english is hard because of all the different letters.
I have old pictures of family members with writing on the back, so I am trying to translate them. Are you from a big town or the country? I have looked at the pictures from the Polish website and and Poland is beautiful.
Well thank you. You have been big help to me.

If I will meet in BAR Jasiek Kurzydło I will ask him about WARA but i am not his close friend at all so i don't know when it will happen

That is fine what ever you have done for me is wonderful, I am writing letters to the people you have given me, and also the church. Do you live in the same town your mother does? I'll bet it is beautiful there.
