I have been trying to do research in Pacanow but have not been very successful. My Grandmother — Maryanna Kuc(z) is from Oblekon. I wrote to the parish there — Parafia p.w. Najswietszej Maryi Panny Krolowej Swiata but never received a reply. Perhaps they just couldn’t find any information.My Grandmother: Maryanna Kuc(z)Born: March 15, 1886Baptized March 25, 1887Immigrated to USA: September 1912Father: Benedict Ku(z)Mother’s first name: MariannaShe had a sister Eva (born 1895)& a brother Jozef (born 1893) both came to America.I think she had other siblings but have not been able to find any records from Poland at all i.e. Marriage of parents, birth or baptisms or death of her parents. I know her father was alive in 1912 when she came to America.If you can help or shed any light on how I could obtain the information I am seeking, I would be extremely grateful.Keep up the excellent work on your blog.Thank you for any information in can provide and Thank you for your blog, I learn a lot from it.Barbara

That is all the LDS (aka Mormons) have in their Family History Library that you can rent microfilm from. Next I checked the Polish National Archives via PRADZIAD . They did have books/microfilm for the date range you are seeking. Here is the contact info for the archive that has the data you seek. You would need to write them in Polish and they will write you back with their findings and instructions for wiring their bank the money they require (all in Polish).
