I recently found a photograph an old envelope that was sent to Katarzyna KNUREK of Springfield, Massachusetts from Barycz, Poland? in 1914. You can see the envelope on http://philgen.org (search on KNUREK, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page), or click on the link below. I am unable to find Katarzyna KNUREK in a census or similar source and wondered if someone more familiar with Springfield can locate her. I believe that Barycz may be the birthplace of Katarzyna KNUREK (or her parents) and this envelope will be helpful to someone in their genealogical research. The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using old envelopes and postcards in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy (viewable on the philgen website) and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

Here is a direct link to the photo of the envelope: http://philgen.org/index.php?option=com_fabrik&c=form&am...
