It is really hard to advise why your letters were not responed or why your relations cannot gte more information. There can be various reasons for that...

Genealogical researches are not easy ones. In many parishes the books were missing or got destroyed etc. So the parish can be missing information on your family roots.

I agree with Phyllis that genealogy forum may be worth checking as people there must have experience in researches like that.

Do you send your enquiries in Polish.A lot of older people do not have a good understanding of English and will just throw away your enquiry.You are best to get a Polish friend to go physically to these places and enquire for you to get the best results.If you cannot do that get the services of a good translator to send e-mails or letters.Then get them to contact the receiptent by phone and check that they are doing something about it!Some officials need a little prodding to get some action from them.
