Family Klimas

Thanks Damien, that’s great. I’ve taken the DNA Test and posted it back to FDNA.As soon as I get the results back I will let you know.Looking at the results you’ve found so far I think you’re right about Lorenz. Really appreciate you’re hard work and look forward to seeing what you find next.

I know this must take up a lot of your time and if there is any way I can help financially please let me know. I would be more than happy to send a donation to the upkeep of your website as i know these things cost money to run.

All the best,

Edd 🙂

Hello Damian,

Got an update from FTDNA Today, should have my results in 3 weeks. I will post you the results as soon as I get them.

Quick question If I wanted to get a record of my Grandfather’s (Johann Klimas 1879) Death and also marriage record to my Grandma Martha Polczyk. I presume they married in Suszec but may have married in Rybnik or Zabrze as her family lived there. Would i need to apply to the Archives of the Archdiocese of Katowice to obtain these records? Unfortunately not to sure of his date of death, i believe it was sometime in 1925 but not 100% sure. Possibly I might have to go to the records office next time over in Europe.

Also I have a few old photos taken around Suszec and Rybnik, would it be ok to post them in the gallery on the forum?
Anyway, hope you are keeping well and all is good. All good here in Sydney,it’s starting to get very warm now Spring is here 🙂

Thanks Damian,

Much appreciate all your help. Don’t worry I realize you are very busy and time is short and you have lots to do. I look forward to any information you find and don’t mind how long it takes to receive it, just very pleased to have your freindship and help. Your English is fine and I can understand what you write OK, it is much better than my Polish, 🙂 . I wish I got my Father to teach me Polish when he was alive as it would be such a big help with communication and allow me to learn so much more about Poland. Unfortunately I think we realize only these things when we are much older.

If it helps to use your friend in Sydney that would be good.

Once again thanks for all your help and information it’s a great help 🙂

I will sort out the photos and send them you, that way you can put up the ones most useful to people

all the best,

Edd

Thanks Damian, that would be fantastic. Just sorting photos at the moment, some old photos of my father as a young boy in Suszec around 1928/29 and some old school class photos from Rybnik from the late Twenties and ealy Thirties.
