Mozdzen Polish roots found

Yesterday very exciting. We visited Antonia, Piatkowizna, Zalas, and Lomza. Went to government offices and the two churches attended by Piotr and Rozalja Mozdzen. Have in my hands birth certificate for Branislawa (Berha) Mozdzen. Have photo copy of official record of marriage of Piotr Mozdzen and Rozalja Lazjer. It is written in Cyrillic. I found and have photo of Micholi Lajzer family census done by the Parish, St Stanislaus Kosta in Zalas.

Today visited Kurpie village. We are all Kurpie. Saw how they lived in 1920 in Antonia, Rosalja's village.

Bringing all home, and more, tomorrow, Sunday, August 1, Polish Rising 1944, when all of Poland stops at 5 PM for 5 minutes to honor the 200,000 Warsaw Poles who lost their lives in the Polish Uprising against the Nazis. The uprising began at 5PM on August, 1944.
