A genealogy of the Walowy family in Stryjowka, Hrycowce, and Kretowce in the Administrative District of Zbaraz.
I am so very grateful to everyone who has shared their information about Zbaraż and its villages with me. This website is now able to offer family trees filled with the surnames of the people who lived in these villages ... maps which show where these people lived ... and lists of people who were relocated from these villages to Poland. I would like to put a "face" to each of these names .. and actually "see" the people that this website is all about.
I would like to invite everyone to share your old and precious photographs of your ancestors from Zbaraż so that I can put those photos here, on this website, so that we can all see ...
Jestem bardzo wdzięczna każdemu, kto podzielił się ze mną informacją o Zbarażu i jego okolicznych wioskach. Dzięki nim ta strona internetowa przedstawia genealogię wypełnioną nazwiskami ludzi, którzy kiedyś w tych miejscowościach żyli ... mapy, które pokazują, gdzie ci ludzie żyli ... oraz wykazy imienne rodzin przesiedlonych z tych miejsc do Polski. Teraz chciałabym przypisać "twarz" każdemu z tych imion … aby "poznać" prawdziwy obraz ludzi, którym ta strona jest poświęcona.
Chciałabym zaprosić każdego, żeby podzielił się starą i cenną fotografią swoich przodków ze Zbaraża, abym mogła umieścić te zdjęcia na tej stronie internetowej, po to aby wszyscy mogli je zobaczyć ...
