Thanks Eric - I guess you appreciate it as much as the Bieszczady pages then. :)
But I didn't forget: "...the Roma (Gypsies), Jews(...), Armenians, and others." Just focus on the last word.:D
Thanks a lot. Pleased to see you great Mental grin in here! Your kind and constructive comment has made me write a subtitle. Which/What kind of stuff would you like to see extended/introduced?
I read it again, more carefully and after construction (did the fact of being selected on the front page accelerate the finition ?). Just one word, WOW. About the music in the end, why not putting a sample of Carpathian-inspirated classic music, like this ?
And, Yatsek, VHAT's your surname ??? (since you mention it :)
Merci. Delighted to see you study it all:) - - I hope you read the Czarnohora trilogy by S. Vincenz one day as well. (no, I just managed to force myself to stop getting lazy, at the last sec). As to the music, it's just supposed to be a sample/bonus and a guide leading to places where there are more tunes - the page is focused on the words and history. When it comes to my family name, you have as many as four options:
1 re-read the line about it, then use a map of Central Europe along with the attached dictionaries
2 study the area page carefully
3 visit Niedzica Castle and look at the inscription above the portal
4 watch the old Polish Janosik serial :-)
I do have pictures of few doors of Niedzica but nothing on it :)
So let me give a couple of tries... Jacek S?owacki ? Jacek S?owacki ? Jacek W?gierski ? (but it would be a bit too easy I guess...) Unless it is "Walach" ? :)
That's a shame! It should show in pic 6 but it looks like they've covered the inscription with some kind of plaster. I wonder why - Polish nationalism or just stupidity (?)
I was born in America (of Czech ancestors who immigrated across
the Big Pond), and this is truly fabulous.
I mean, I gotta ECHO Andreea's comment! I feel comfortable knowing I can rely on "Google translator," but it's also nice to have the information and important links to get me "in the mood for the mountains."
In fact, I feel I've become much more intimate with my European
roots!
Thanks, Mister Yatsek, for putting together such a comprehensive
and well-written report!
Thanks, Sir Larry of Az, for your kind comment and the attached Gothic (Eastern Gothic?:)) song. As for my surname, please have a look a bit above, at my reply to our Polish Gaul's query.
Give it a rest, Larry. We've had it all here since time immemorial and we still keep smiling :))) although some, such as myself, wish they'd left for the Wild West, or at least the Appalachians.

Re: Wow, wow!!!!!!!!!Being born in America, I am really confused with all the "historical" terms you are using.
Can we just keep it simple, and I'll refer to you as Mister Yatsek?
