Summary/Abstract: This article presents the preliminary results of field research that lead since 2009 in the province of around Gorzow Wielkopolski. Language material gathered so far in more than 20 towns in the northern part of the region. The research was the nature of biographical interviews with the oldest generation who remember the first years after resettlement. In this article I focus on languages (and variants) displaced from the former eastern provinces of the II RP. In my research, I would like to point out that in addition to those speaking Polish before and after resettlement, there are also people who have come into the region of around Gorzow Wielkopolski of bilingualism.
