the Burekow (the Burke Place), part 1

This is a picture of Barbara's dad, and he is my dad's second cousin. He's a positively lovely man, chair of the Bochnia Society, quiet, and highly intelligent. He has my father's shy half-smile and there are times he has a distinct resemblance to my dad.
The Burek clan had done research on the family genealogy and had given the results to Eugene, but those results had not been passed on. We have, however a chance to see the family homestead in the village of Lakta Dolna, a few KM south of Bochnia. Other family members are waiting. Off we go!
