Another big Polish holiday is coming up Monday, May 3. It's Poland's
Constitution Day. Time to hang your Polish flag and show your Polish
pride.
For info on this important historical day go to:

Trivia: Which two countries have very similar constitutions?

Hello Samantha,
It seems the address should be:
Teresa Nicinska
ul. Ks. Sciegiennego Piotra 3/4
70-352 Szczecin
Polska
The pronounciation in Polish is something like this: Shtsheh-tseen, in
German Stettin (Shteh- teen)
Enjoy

It's also worth taking a peek at the marriage index that site has, if you
ancestor is from that area. 7000 names, wouldn't hurt.

I was in Poland Sept/Oct. 2000. The weather was quite pleasant though a
light jacket or sweater was needed especially in the evenings. It was
downright cold at the end of the first week in October in Pul~tusk
though.
The one thing I noticed most was the burning of the left-overs in the
fields. This is done all over Poland and the smoke can hang in the air
if there isn't a breeze.
This may not mean much to you but coming from Texas where our two
seasons are green and brown, the fall colors in Poland

I looked at them, and they look to me like Gosawice and Goslawice,
with the second probably being correct - there are lots of them in

I have found the discussion of money to Poland most interesting. About a month ago I sent money to Poland using a bank transfer. I paid $40.00 and the fee is the same regardless of how much you send, $100 or $1,000.
I sent money to an archive which was $40.00. I felt that the cost of $40.00 for the bank transfer was ridiculous since that was what I owed. I sent a bank check which cost me nothing. The only drawback is that when they deposited the money they cannot withdraw it until the check clears a

Thanks to all the listers who provided information on the town name of Karotmicz, Russia. I did go back to the Ellis Island website and looked at the original ship manifest of Elisabeth Ditman -- It looks like Karotnica to me.
I really appreciate all the help and a special thanks to Dewey.
