Research notes I have been researching, not successfully, my Polish roots in Galicia and my wife's paternal Jewish roots in Galicia. My Polish grandmother was Mary Pearl Urban and she supposedly came from the town of Pilzno. My Polish grandfather Frank Dabrowski was born in Grodno but last lived in Przytulanka in Bialystok Province.
My wife's paternal grandfather Henry Gassner was born in Nowy Targ. We know he was Jewish and his father, Marcus Gassner, died in Jablonka Orawa around 1933.
For decades, I have been trying to trace my Polish roots without success. Any ideas for doing it would be appreciated.
