After the time spent in the church office, it was time to pay a visit to the cemetery. I had a photo of one grave and was hoping to findit. I know that graves most often are "recycled" so I knew I may not find the grave I was looking for. I showed my photo to the keeper of the cemetery and he did not recognize the name & showed it to others working for him. It was along a fence in the photo so there were only a few places it could be. One section of the cemetery was new and he knew that it would not be there. Everyone helped try to find it but it was not to be found.

I then searched and photographed every grave with a surname I had on my list. This is a very tedious task and one should be prepare for a workout. Cemeteries here in Poland are not what they are like in the States, as land is at a premium, so they are very close together and they are built up in stone.

I would recommend you wear a good pair of hiking shoes because of walking between graves, your feet and shoes will take a beating.
