Translation into Polish
Hi there, is there anybody who could translate me a short text into Polish? I’d like to write to a civil registry office for the records of my great-grand-father in Poland. But, I don’t know any Polish. Thanks.

Here is the text:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I´m searching for the death record of my great-grand-father who died in Płakowice between 1903 to 1910. His surname was Kulzynski or Kulczynski and his Christian name was probably Johann. Could you help me, please, to find out his date of death or rather to find out his record?

Answer

Szanowni Państwo,

(nazywam się Abenaa, pochodzę z Niemiec.) Chciałabym prosić o pomoc w odszukaniu aktu zgonu mojego pradziadka, który zmarł w Płakowicach w latach 1903 - 1910. Jego nazwisko to Kulzyński lub Kulczyński a imię Johann. Byłabym bardzo wdzięczna za udzielenie jakichkolwiek informacji na temat jego śmierci lub udostępnienie kopii aktu zgonu.

Z poważaniem,
Abenaa

P.S. The first sentence in the brackets contains info who you are. Good luck.

Answer

I suggest to be more precisely about surname because there are probably polish diacritical signs in one. So his surname most probably is 'Kulczyński' or 'Kułaczyński' but I did never heard surname 'Kulczynski' or 'Kulzynski/Kulżyński/Kułżyński'.

However don't worry about Płakowice village - there is the only one village with this name near Lwówek Śląski. And if you wouldn't find there answer, then you (or maybe better any your polish friend) can seek in polish national archive of new acts in Jelenia Góra and even in roman catholic parish if you know where did he born or married.

By the way, I found notice about Jak Kulczyński with german connection who is interesting very much about family's history, but he still live, so he may be only far family.

Answer

Thank you very much. Yes, I know that there are probably different places with the name Płakowice. The one I mean is at Lwówek Śląski and I wrote to the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego - Lwówek Śląski, where the mentioned records are kept. I hope they know that I mean their Płakowice.
