Forefathers Traces Tours season is at its peak! We didn’t have opportunity to blog any of the family journeys with my guests we had so far in 2010. We were either busy with our search or far away from civilization, which meant poor internet availability in the places where we stayed.
However, of course we took a lot of pictures and now I want share with you some of them.

Tarnów area. The oldest cemetery in the neighborhood. We found there a few surnames which appear in my guest’s family tree.

Nur region. An old Franciscan monastery in Zaręby Kościelne built in 1700s, recently renowated and used in producing film about Maria Faustina Kowalska, commonly known as Saint Faustina.

Nur region. Uścianek Wielki village. It now looks a little different than more than a 100 years ago…
.

Rzeszów region. The main square of Nowy Żmigród town nearby Jasło. Almost all houses all around the square used to belong to Jewish people living there before WWII.
.

Rzeszów region. The old Jewish cemetery in Nowy Żmigród, currently under renovation by local authorities and Jewish organizations.

.

Rzeszów region. The town of Tyczyn. When my guest noticed the house she said: “It looks very similar to the house in front of which my father is standing in one of the old photographs from Tyczyn…”
