Hi Andy. I spoke with my father last night about our correspondance. He related an interesting story. While he has a vague recollection of the surname Soltys, he remembers that his father was originally interested in buying an estate near Tarnogrod, called Soltysik, named after the family that had owned it. Having a young family he decided instead to purchase a smaller farm in Bukowina. My father also said that many people from the Tarnogrod/Biszcza area settled in Philadelphia. His father's brother, Andrzej Bulicz, stayed in Philadelphia, although we have never had any contact with descendents. If my father has any further recollections relating to the Soltys surname, I will let you know. John.
