This church is where
Grandpa and Grandma Zdanowicz
were married in 1891.
Chandeliers made of antlers
with modern lights added.
Typical of the area
with all kinds of wild life,
I love how they kept the
antlers.
After their wedding celebration,
they snuck out of Poland,
bribed a German guard
and left Europe on one
of those cattle boats
heading for America but
at least it was a steamship.

How wonderful Ruth. You must have a vast archive of photos!
We went to Krakow a few years ago and it was wonderful.Most of the town survived the war and the churches were beautiful.
What a beautiful church- and such an interesting story they had to tell. How hard it must have been to leave a homeland, however, even if there was promise of a safer and better life in America.
What a wonderful church. You're certainly going to get to see some beautiful sights when you take your trip.

Hello. My name is John. I am writing because I also am interested in genealogy. My great grandmother was born in Krasnybor. Interestingly enough, her mother's maiden name was Zdankiewicz, which is pretty close to your family's surname...maybe we are cousins! ???
I would like to ask you how you went about getting the records from the church??
