Dear Sande,

Thanks of final help of our genforum friend Norbert, you have now not only the family ancestral town (Nowy Sacz, SE Poland), but also the ancestral home and land - the village of Trzetrzewina, looking on this Nowy Sacz from the nearly located hill, and what a news!, Polish phone directory is giving info that family Jurkowski is still living and farming in the same village:
# Maria Jurkowska, Trzetrzewina, Poland
# Bronislaw Jurkowski, Trzetrzewina, Poland
PS. This very difficult in spelling and pronounciation the name of place Trzetrzewina derives from Polish word Cietrzew - Trzetrzew - a black-cock, very popular to find in local woods in past centuries.
The phone numbers of Jurkowski's from this Trzetrzewina you can find with www.ksiazka-telefoniczna.com ; their postal address is:
wies Trzetrzewina
33-395 Poland

Finally, if you like this strange game of wonderful life imagination, here you can see the picture of your family ancestral parish and church, where your Polish ancestors where baptized, murried, and burried on the local cemetery located at the church, where all their holy life was focused, where their all attended every Sunday for the holy mass - this was in the 19th century the Podegrodzie, very old church noted from the 11th century:

But maybe better to see and imagine this small hill with church with the Podegrodzie panorama at the top of this webpage, where you can see also your Polish ancestors national costumes, as the part of the very old culture and heritage of Polish Gorals from Beskid Mountains:

Good luck in your search and life to you and all yours,

Tad
