If you're searching for ancestors from Radzilow, former Lomza Gubernia in northeast Poland, you might be interested in these additions to the town site by Jose Gutstein:
1) Video: Beatrice Fields talks about her trip to Radzilow in 1935 (10 1/2 minutes clip). Born in New York in 1910, she describes her visit and meeting her grandfather. She was the only member of her family to visit or return to Radzilow.
2) Audio: Molly (nee Gryngras) Gottfried Reminisces About Radzilow (24 minutes, 1963). Gottfried, who left Radzilow in 1906 at age 19, talks about her young life there
3) Article: Holocaust Survivor (Born in Radzilow, surviving in the Trzcianne area), reunites with siblings after more than 50 years. Born in Radzilow, Rachael Gottfried moved to Trzcianne, most likely after marrying. She and her family survived the Holocaust by hiding in a hole in the swamp in the Biebrza marshlands. In 1965, she was reunited with four surviving siblings in Rochester, NY, after more than 50 years.
4) Detailed Street Map of Radzilow. Gutstein redrew the map to make it accurate as to scale, direction, and even angles of streets, with the exception of the cemetery inset section, which falls outside of the area. He's been able to also pinpoint more house locations exactly.
