Polish Pictures

These photos were all taken in Poland. The first group is much older than the second. The first in this group is a family wedding shot taken outside the Mroz home at #28 Lokietka ( Krakow). You can see this in the sign above the doorway, along with the name of my great-grandfather, Jan Mroz. My grandmother, Marja (Maria, Mary) Mroz is the woman on the far right. We are not sure who anyone else is, but believe that the young man behind her is her brother, who died in WWI. We do not know his name at present. We believe he might be the same young man standing at the far right in the top row of the second photograph. There is a mark in ink right above the head. The third photo shows what is written on the back of that photo. If anyone can decipher it, please let me know. The fourth photograph shows a family wedding, but it appears to have been torn in half. We recognize my grandfather, Jan Jarkiewicz standing directly behind the bride and groom. The photo is ripped right next to that. If anyone recognizes anyone in any of these photographs, please let me know! We have realized now that Jan's brother, Kasper is also in the photo in the row behind Jan but to the left. In the middle between them, the gentleman in the new family picture at the bottom of this page can be seen. We're not sure yet who he is.

Wedding at #28 Lokietka in Krakow - This is the same house shown below in the last photograph WWI Army Unit (I think)
Back of Army Photo Polish Family Wedding. Place Unknown-

On the back of the one with the tree is written in Polish: "This is the only tree left standing in the orchard after the bombing." One picture is of my grandmother's youngest sister, who remained in Poland. I believe her name was Magdalena but am not sure. In the third photo, the same sister is pictured with who I believe to be her daughter in law and two grandsons. There is an address on the back, with a name - Magdalena Szymanska (her husband's last name would be Szymanski). The address says Ul. Lokietka # 10 A,  Krakow. The house is the same house pictured above, but the address is 10, not 28.  If anyone can help me find these relatives, it would be much appreciated.  The tree and the family photo would have been taken just after WWII I would think, so the boys would probably be in their 60's.

Shown below are two more pictures sent from our Jarkiewicz family in France

These are possibly relatives - If anyone knows who they are, please let me know! The male is in the large wedding picture above Also possibly a relative, but we don't know who he might be
