Mimi,
That web site ( http://www.virtuti.com/order/ ) gives you the
opportunity to buy a copy of what's in the book about a specific person.
Unfortunately unless you have some specific info (certainly a first
name) there's no way to tell if the "Jan Kowalski" who received a medal
and is listed in the book, is an ancestor of yours. You would have to do
more research in order to prove that the "Kowalski" in the book is the
same person...your ancestor. The proof is not in the book.
It's only $5.00 and seeing as there's only one Skwarek listed, you
wouldn't be out much money if this fellow turned out not to be your
ancestor.
