I have some more names of "Osady" to add to the web page, but as I've been
neglecting the family page for a while and concentrating on the Kresy pages
I feel that I have to devote a bit more of my time to the other page and
bring it up to date. Unfortunately the updates to Kresy pages will be put
on hold for a few weeks, unless something extremely important is needed. I
do believe(but don't quote me on it) that the "Archiwum Akt Zabuzanskich"
in Warsaw might be of help in this case. They have all the documents from
the Borderlands areas that the Soviets "graciously" returned to Poland.
Additionally some information is in the ABAP Archives in Krakow (
) they might be worth a stab
in the dark for information. The only hiccup that I can foresee is the cost
of research in those Archives, I would suggest using someone like PIAST in
Warsaw as he's very reasonable in his fees.
Majority of the "Osady" have been either destroyed by the Soviets/Germans
or in the later stages by the UPA during their reign of terror, so finding
any info on the ones that have been obliterated is proving almost
impossible. I'm getting some nasty emails from the Ukrainian circles as
they don't seem to like the content of my pages and are trying to install
on me their home grown "truth". (Even had a hacker try to destroy my
pages). They don't wish to acknowledge the existence of those settlements
that were destroyed and the surviving ones have been "Ukranised".
