​
>> It is always interesting for me to meet (even online) the descendands of people who lived in my hometown.
>> Please excuse me writing so briefly. It is after midnight and I have worked a little on a history of Klodawa.
>> I asked Bachna few hours ago: we are not able to determine with 99% probability, which house was that of Cieplinski family. I know from Bachna's records Cieplinski lived at Warszawska 8 (the adress is prewar or in the time of war) .Please see the attachment.
>> Please download the aerial photo of Klodawa, made by Germans in 1942.

>> Can you tell, looking at the picture, which house was that belonging to Cieplinskis' family?
>> If not, I might try asking a surveyor of land from Klodawa.
>>
>> Best Regards.
>> Aleksander Loza.
