Hello, a good place to get help in typing exclusively Polish literals is at :-
you just type in the English characters as usual but use the extra keyboard on top to type the desired literals
and then you can copy and paste your typed phrase elsewhere
although it does help greatly if you do know some Polish so that you can tell the difference between proper Polish and jibberish.
I have only "kitchen" Polish but that at least allows me to detect improper Polish spelling and grammar most of the time:-
for example your father's name somewhere got Anglicized as "Wozniakowski" from the original "Wo?niakowski"
and that is perhaps how you grew up pronouncing it but my "kitchen" Polish is enough to tell me that is incorrect and to look for the correct Polish spelling:-
ie the Anglicized form feels very awkward if you palatize (soften) the "n" as even rudimentary Polish-speakers will invariably do
so I would know that the "z" must be palatized too and that form would have a Polish literal of its own in the form of "?":-
please try learning a bit of basic Polish, it's really not that difficult despite outward appearances!
Another useful tool is the Google Translator which you can find by simply Google-searching (surprise!) " Google translator " :-
however this translator is far from perfect and again if you know some Polish it does help a lot in using it
so even "kitchen" Polish will help greatly.
However you can cut and paste Polish phrases into the translator to get their equivalents in English or other emigre languages such as Portuguese and so on
(and yes we do speak a lot of languages among us, we are very multilingual here!).
Cheers!

Hi Pawel
Thank you for the information it's a wonderful thing to have.? I am a non speaker or writer of Polish.? My fathers name was Boleslaw Wozniakowski.? I looked on the the website and could find Wozniak but no Wozniakowski.? Will I need to view all pages to find him or perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me where in the Polish alphabet ?Wozniakowski is?? Many thanks?
Chris?
