Dear Jose,
You have created a masterpiece. I commend you on your dedication and hours of work. The honour you have given to your forefathers and roots in Poland is truly amazing. You have brought alive a shtetl to many people who have roots in there. It has been a wonder for so many people. Thank you for all your hard work interest in your family.
Kol Ha-kavod.

I found you through JewishGen. My father's family were from Szczuczyn, 12 miles from Radzilow, and surnames in your list match with those in my family tree.

Wondering if you found any 'Budny' or 'Skierkowski' names? Felix Budny and brothers, Walter, Teofil, etc. owned a farm either near the town of Lomza, or in the gubernia of.
Or mention of the three towns of 'Budne' in the Lomza, or possibly Bialystok region? Where possibly 'Budny's' derived. The family name is both Jewish, and Christian.

Hi: Am new at searching for ancestors. I have records which led me to believe RAJGROD was a town but it appears to be a county. My paternal grandfather was born in BELDA LOMZA Poland and my oldest (now deceased) uncle in RAJGROD, BELDA LOMZA. The names I have are Feliksa KRASINSKI, born 1880 and Aleksander KRASINSKI, born 1908. Documented names of my paternal grandmother are SITARZEWSKICH and SILEWZESKI. If I am beginning this "ancestor search journey" on the right track, please email me so that we can communicate further. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Ray Shupac.

Estimado Jose: Un fuerte y cariñoso abrazo por tu excelente trabajo, bien documentado sobre Radzilow.- Viaje a Uruguay en 1934 con 4 años de edad, junto a mi madre Sara Salamon Ebenstejn desde Szczuczyn y recien ahora con tu pagina Web, pude saber que mi pueblo quedaba distante de Radzilow donde nacio mi padre, 20 Km.
Nuevamente te felicito.

Dear Jose: "Un fuerte y cariñoso abrazo" for your excellent work, well-documented about Radzilow - I traveled to Uruguay in 1934 at the age of 4, together with my mother Sara Salamon Ebenstejn from Szczuczyn and just now through your web page, I learned that the town of Radzilow, where my father was born, was only 20 Km. away.
Again, I congratulate you.

Found your website through JewishGen discussion group.
Great job, excellent photographs and graphics.

I am not sure what to write, since I know at least 30 of my relatives will search this guest book. All I have to add is I know the history of the town through my grandparents Mr. Binyamin Poricky and Mrs. Chaya Kowalski-Poricky, who are in heaven right now.
This is the first time I see the visual side, I never saw any pictures of the town. I researched a little a few years ago and I went to the Mormon genealogy center on the upper west side of Manhattan, where I saw with great excitement many records of the town. good bless

Congratulations on your Radzilow website. Great job! My father was born in Zabludow which is about 15 or so kilometers Southeast of Bialystok. I have a Zabludow Memorial Website. I know that you must have put a lot of work into researching and developing your site. I especially liked all your great photos. I read some of your material, and will go back to read more when I have time.

Jose,

This is just BRILLIANT! It has inspired me to really move forward on my Wizna research. Maybe one day Wizna can have a web site of its own as well?
You really have performed a miracle. May I join the long list of those to send appreciation and thanks.

Wow, Jose, great site!!! You have a real knack for design and organization.

Hmmm... as a professional website designer, if I promise not to dispense legal advice, will you promise to stay out of the Web business?

But seriously, your site is a great resource, definitely motivates me to get off my duff and finish up the site I started last year. Keep up the good work!

Dear Jose:

Your work is truly wonderful. Even though I am searching Stawiski which is "just down the road about 10 miles" this gives a great view of how the town was and is -- probably similar to Stawiski. I found some family names in the name list which may well be relatives-

Thank you for directing me to the website!
