Hi Peter,
My mother's father was Stanley Galanick of Cambria County, PA.Stanley had a sister named Lottie Galanick Gruce and a brother-in-law named Joe Gruce.I believe the latter two lived in Portage, PA.
My mother's father, Stanley, died in a coal mining accident in or around 1953 or 1954, when my mother was ~3 years old.She was later adopted by the man, whom I called Grandpap.I was unaware of my maternal grandfather until 1998, when upon Grandpap's death, my family had provided me with the information that he had adopted my mom.Since then, I've been trying to piece together bits and pieces of knowledge about my maternal grandfather, his family heritage (Polish), and thus my heritage.
Given the fact that your family's name is also Galanick and your family was from Cambria County, PA, as well, I feel that we might be distant American relatives.I know that doesn't help you find your family in Poland, but it might add fruitfulness to your search!
Have a great evening,
Amber
