Does anyone know of a large old church, in the Bialystok area that has a large stain glass window, given by the Roszkowski family? Where is this church? What is the name of this church?

Does anyone know of a visit to some people in this same area, by the Blessed Virgin Mary? When did this go on? Where? and who were the people?

Does anyone know how I can find more information on the above questions? Where do I look?

I want to stay in the Bialystok area this August or September, where is a good hotel to stay at? What will a room cost, per night in American money?

Next, I have heard the travel, by car, in this area, is unsafe, due to people who will stop your car and rob you. Is this the case? If so, how do I get around this?

How far from Warsaw is this area? How many miles, how long of a drive?

What can I plan on spending per day for a car rental, from Warsaw?

Is there a better way to get to this area, than by car? What would another way cost?

Thank you for the help, I know you will be.

Valpo,

Seems to me that I answered some of these questions for you on one of the genealogy email lists. At least I recall seeing the questions posted somewhere before.

Have you tried using google to find websites that might have some of this info about traveling, hotels, churches, etc.

Does anyone know of websites that can help find infomation?
