Thanks to an intensive correspondence with Michael Daniel Boruta of Lowell, Michigan, and the wealth of family information he has been able to provide we will shortly be able to enlarge the page with biographies of many people from the Podlasie-Michigan branch of the family. We are still finalising details.

Many thanks too for the letter from Richard T. Boruta from Grand Rapids. With the help of Richard's letter I have been able to up-date details of Richard and his family.

Lukasz Boruta from Bydgoszcz has kindly written enclosing his photograph, which now appears on the page, and has provided additional information about his family.

I have been able to add to the page 27 people with the Boruta family name living in and around Korycin in the Podlasie province in Eastern Poland. Another four individuals from this region emmigrated to the USA at the end of the 19th Century and early in the 20th Century (more information appears on the American pages).

Boruta from Lowell, Michigan.

Michael - please accept my deep appreciation for your help!
