Roman Catholic Church in Tomaszow Lubelski: Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church
I found pictures of the church where a lot of our Polish family history happened: Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Tomaszow Lubelski. It was founded by the “baron” of the area, Tomasz Zamoyski. It is interesting to see that the outside is made of wood. It is noteworthy for the Eastern influenced domes on top of the two square towers.
I figured the only way that I would be able to see the inside of the church would be to visit Tomaszow Lubelski someday. Then I got a message from Dorothy Woloszczuk, one of the volunteer translators on Genealogical Translations on Facebook. She has translated alot for me and has relatives in the same region so she is familiar with the records I use to find out about our family. She speaks Polish and English and I think also translates Latin and lives in England. Here is what she sent me,”Whilst scrolling through Lubgens found the name of the church for Tomaszow Lubelski parish church - As it's more than likely that it is the church where your relative’s baptisms, marriages and funerals took place as this particular building has been there since 1627 !!!” You REALLY need to check this out. Click on “Panorama” then “google maps” and then be prepared to be amazed! You will see the inside of the church. https://zabytek.pl/en/obiekty/tomaszow-lubelski-zespol-kosciola-par-pw-zwiastowania-nmp
