Hello. I am hoping someone might be able to assist with understanding how to locate records in Poland. I'm looking for information on the Konchalska and Osial families.
Kazimiera Konchalska was born 1885 just outside Warsaw, Poland. I understand she was born of the landed gentry owning farms and a mill. It is said that when she was 16 she met an illiterate peasant named Jan Osial. Kazimiera’s parents were impressed by his manners and ambition and gave their consent to their wedding. I just learned one of her daughters, Lucja Osial (b. 1906 d. 1978 in NYC), told US immigration in 1957 that she was born in Brozda, Poland though I've been unable to locate Brozda on a map?
The family moved to Vladivostok, Russia as their fourth daughter was born there in 1918. I understand Jan Osial joined the Russian army though ended up moving the family to Japan sometime during the 1920's. Are there any passenger records for Poles departing or returning to Poland?
I would be keen to learn how to search for information on the Konchalska family in Poland and how to obtain birth certificates etc for the family?
Any help would be really appreciated.
