Hello! I'm so sorry this is in English.

In a week I will visit Tarnow/Skrzyszow and I would like to research my family, who lived in these cities before immigrating to the U.S. in the 1800s. I have a few questions:

*Is there a way to see where I might find gravesites? I have specific names.
*Is there a way to find other genealogists interested in these names?
*Are there genealogist/translators I might be able to request to help me while in the area?

Thank you! Any advice is very much appreciated.

My full list of names of ancestors in this region:

Armatys/Armatis
Boruch
Jarosz
Zurowski
Sctlak
Bernal
Barnas
Garuszka
Sempek

A pretty tall order, given that you are leaving in a week. There seems to be a St. Stanislaw church in Skrzyszow. If they still have the old church records you might try there, but this being summer and all, it might be tough.

Good luck!

We don't have as good searching engine as Billiongraves of Findagrave, but you cant try:

Some of the Tarnów graves are listed here: http://www.starycmentarz.pl/spis.html

But you have to remember, that before 18th century people in Tarnów were buried near the cathedral church in Tarnów or in its catacumbs.

There is a parish cementary in Skrzyszów: it is opened for visitors.

I can't find information about the Skrzyszów cementary office, but you can try in the parish office. It's working during the summertime, too. Here are the opening hours: everyday 7.30-9.00 A.M., wednesdays and saturdays 5.00-6.00 P. M.

There is an information, that many visitors in Skrzyszów are foreigners, for the church is very interesting, so there should be not so much problems with english-speaking guests, you can try to make an appointment.

Yes, it's true. I've done some research on my own, and have some original parish marriage papers for my great-great grandparents in Skrzyszow, but nothing else, and I'm not sure where those papers came from. I just found this message board.

Thank you very much for this information! I didn't know people were buried beneath the church.

Unfortunately, I don't yet see anyone in polskie-cmentarze.com.

As I have said, the data on the website may be incomplete. You can also try on another cementary in Tarnów: http://www.polskie-cmentarze.pl/Spis-cm ... now/Tarnow
