Hi, There are Szpara"s still in Massachusetts, that is where I grew up. I have cousins who still live there, but all my fathers siblings have died. I think I told you I went to Poland in August and was able to visit the village of Szkodna, I found the house my grandfather left but it was just a pile of wood. Village custom is that when a house is abandon, it stays on the land forever, my case, it was a pile of wood.I visited with a Szpara family but there was no connection, his family went to Chicago. I visted the cemetery and took pictures of Szpara graves. If you tell me of any names you might have in your family I might have a picture for you, I believe this cemetery also covered Gora Ropcyzka. While there I met with the pastor and I finally did receive church records from him about a month ago.
