Spacerując po Burdeniszkach

(Stroll Through Burdeniszki . . . locative spelling.)

Hey, cousins! Take a stroll with me through the area of our ancestral village.  The first picture, from a local archive, was sent to me by a resident of Suwałki.  It is said to be a scene in Burdeniszki before World War I.

Burdyniszki 21.  East, left in this view, to Burdyniszki.  West, to Wigry (2 km), and the klastor (Post-Camaldolese Monastery), and Lake Wigry marina.  In 2019, the monastery hosts the Roman Catholic Church of The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  South, to Wigry National Park entrance to Czerwony Folwark.
