It has been my greatest wish to be contacted by someone with direct ties to Odrowaz! You have made my wish come true. You have both Kulawiak and Gal surnames in your family! I would like to talk with you some more - I tried to find you in the member list, but I don't know your user name! Please leave me a private message with your email address (not here, I want you to keep your contact info private). I have much to tell you and much to ask you. Best Regards, Shellie Hi Ewa,

I found your site by accident and got sooooooo exited that I even called my father-in-law (in the middle of the night) to ask him about all those people that you've mentioned in your posts. Most of the last names are very familiar to me because we have friends with those last names. Honestly he does not think you're related because Gal is a very popular last name there, but he promised to call his elder mother in Poland and ask her. Let me tell you what I know about my husband's family which I hope will help you in some way. My husband's name is Stanislaw Gal he was born in 1979 in Odrowaz, he's one of 5 children of Jozef and Bronislawa (Kulawiak) Gal. He was born in Odrowaz but lived in a nearby village Zary, which now is part of Odrowaz Pdh. His grand parents names are (father side)Jozef and Maria (Zachemska) Gal, (mother side)Jan (my husband does not know his 1st wifes name) and Stefania Kulawiak. If you find this information helpful in your search let me know, send me an email and I would be more than happy to help you out in any way I can. If you think you have any info related to my husband's family I would appreciate it as well. Thanks and good luck Hi Shellie,

I'm not exactly sure which Bielawy (I wasn't aware that there were so many of them!) All I remember my mother saying is that it was located near the towns of Kutno, Plock and Gombin. Perhaps you might know which Bielawy this might be. Sounds like we're searching in the same areas of Poland. Good luck and hope you find the correct Bielawy for your family! Let me know if you find out anything more regarding the many Bielawy's. I will keep my eyes open for any "Cybulski" families that I might come across. Bye for now. Hi again!
