History (PDF Document)
Wetlina, Poland

Wetlina (Vetlyna)  is the first village north of Nova Sedlica.  My great grandfather was from Wetlina.  He worked in the Carpathian Mountains, as did others from Nova Sedlica.  They socialized and one thing leads to another, he snatched a bride from Nova Sedlica and settled there in the mid 1800's.   

When conducting family research, do not hesitate to venture beyond the immediate village, though a radius of about 10km, what one could/would walk in one day is about all you can hope for.

Originally published in Slovak, this 100-page document written during the communist era presents a lengthy history of the region, embellished with propaganda, though it is easily distinguishable.  Still a good read.
