Dear Tina, thank you. I couldn't find the site for the Polish Red Cross, do you have a recommendation for a link? However, I did find a great site, indeks.karta.org.pl/wyszukiwanie, the "Index of the Repressed". It contains searchable names for 203,779 people who were deported to USSR territory. It includes both Jews and members of other religions. I found 10 Chudobas on the site, but they were not the exact ones whose names we found in the Sanok archives from my family who were deported in 1944-45.

Just wondering if you ever got to South Poland and researched KRAWEC and others in Warsaw, Sanok and Przemysl. I can send you more surnames but I want to make contact first. How was your trip? Who did you use for research? I had Iwona Dakiniewicz.

I also want to go to southern Poland to the archives in Sanok and Przemysl, however if I can get a jump on finding birth certificates, etc. for my Krawiec/Karlitsky/Hudoba/Surgent grandparents, I will try to see if any of the records are also in Warsaw. If you know of anyone with proven expertise helping use the archives in Warsaw, including prices paid, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Claudia Krawiec Hansen

Hi, is there anyone looking for Rakowskis family in Poland. I have a letter from someone looking for family here in the US. Perhaps you can make a connection if you are.

If they have access to the web, you or they can send them to the following two sites and have them search on Rakowski. There are hundreds of listings. http://411.com http://veromi.net There are other people search sites as well, these are just the ones I use. You may already know this, but to identify people faster instead of waiting for them to read this mailing list (if they aren't subscribed), starting with what you know about when the family immigrated, if it was before 1930, I would suggest you check the census records to help narrow your search. If you are in the US, you can get access to census records for free at selected public libraries, and some let patrons access census records from home, if you didn't know. When did these people come over? It is hard to suggest resources without a time frame....if you want to try finding them more quickly if no one responds to your post here.

I've just discovered at long last the birth name of an aunt, Leokadia Lipski. She probably died in the late 1940's or 1950's in Essen, Germany, and was married to Johann Stanislaus von Loewe [Kiedrowski]. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thanks, Karl von Loewe

Hi, I have found Census for 1920 & 1930 for Philadelphia. They are listed on both. These census were helpful.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to find information about my Mother's family. Here is what I have so far: My Grandmother, Helen ANUSZKIEWICZ (ANUSCZKIEWICZ) UNCORT born 5 Nov 1915, and died here 0n 30 Aug 2001. parents: Stanley (B. abt. 1886 - d. 1934) Alexandria (Alice) (b. abt. 1878 - d. abt. 1933) (possible nee: SIGMOND) both born in Poland, both died here in Philadelphia. I have burial info on Stanley, and have visited his grave. He is buried his son Stanley, and a Joseph SIGMOND (I believe this to be his brother-in-law). They immigrated 1908. Grandmom was one of 4 children: Stella (born 1906 in Poland - died 19 Sept 1984 Baltimore, MD) (Married Wilbur FROST ?) Stanley (born Phila. 10 Aug 1910 - died 7 June 1994 Phila.) Helen (my Grandmom) Anna (born Phila. abt. 1922) Helen married 1) David KAHANA (a Native Hawaiian) (b. 26 Feb. 1888 Ka'u District, Hawai'i - d. 31 Dec 1952 Phila) Children: Stanley Joseph Dolores (my Mother) Gloria Robert Vincent Teresa (Diane) Marc 2) Raymond BACICAN b. 2 Feb 1921 Phila - d. 5 July 1987 No children I'd really like to find place of origin for this family. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Do you have access to Census Records and Passenger lists on these people? They don't always contain the information, but sometimes they say what town or shtetl someone is from. Birth, Marriage, and Death certificates also sometimes have that information. If you can say which pieces of the paper trail you have so far, that will help in giving you specifics about where to go from here to hunt for them.

Those that I am interested in are three brothers: Jan Henryk, Kazimierz and Daniel Jaz'win'ki. They were all born in Rowne - dates unknown. Their last known location prior to the arrival of the Soviet forces was Rowne. All I know about their parents is that they were Henryk and Elzbiete.

I believe it would help to give a general sense of when they were born, at least a range of dates. Was it circa 1850? 1900? 1930? When were the other siblings, whose birth dates you do know, born?

Do you have all of their names? Do you know when and where they were born, their parents names and the last know location during the war?

Thanks for the suggestion. I know as fact that my Jazwinski ancestors lived in the Rowne area for a number of generations. Following the events of 1939 _all_ those that survived, came to the UK after the war having joined the Polish Army or Air Force. None arrived on civilian shipping. What I would like to discover is the actual fate of those that joined the underground and seemingly disappeared.

The Jaziwinski family came from the Jazwiny (dot over the Z).?Try looking at the Zielona parish records. This is the Zielona that is near Ciechanow. There are several Jazwiny villages. If you don't find them in the Zielona parish. look in the Slownilk Geograficzny which is on line and go down the parishes of the Jazwiny villages one by one until you find the correct village ordering the microfilms of the birth, dath and marriage records from the LDS. -----Original Message----- From: Tina Ellis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 9 Nov 2008 5:53 pm Subject: Re: [PBS] Need help tracing Jazwinski ancestors Ian, There are several possible ways to find your family.

Several years ago, I was able to find family in South America, Brazil be be exact. I did this by using an online telephone directory, and found the name of a single daughter. We are all now in contact with each other. This site gives two telephone directories containing white pages for Argentina: http://www.numberway.com/phone-numbers/158/. You can use this site to translate Spanish to English: http://translate.google.com/translate_t# You can find Chongar in Ukraine and LIda in Belarus using this site: http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/LocTown.asp. As far as finding records in Ukraine, the LDS have microfilmed some. You will need to know the name of the parish to search their catalog because this is how they are indexed: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp. To find one of their Family History Center libraries near you, this site is helpful: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Tina Ellis On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 4:08 PM, Kathy Larson <[email protected]>wrote: > My husband's mother, Vera Ann Dziekevich, was born in Jersey City, NJ, USA > on Sept. 29, 1917.

Ian, There are several possible ways to find your family. Most who survived the war were accepted as residents of other countries. You can search for passenger lists to other countries. The year before last, the wife of a Polish man living in South Africa contacted me to see if I could help find her husband's family. I was writing to a friend in Canada and told her they could have gone to Canada. She pulled out her telephone book and called the only person in her telephone directory with the same last name. The man was part of this man's family. It turned out that the family with grandparents, children and grandchildren left SE Poland on foot. They walked out and eventually ended up in Iran in a refugee camp. From there the family was sent to three different countries: Rhodesia, Canada and England. When the man in South Africa was 7 years old, he was part of the family who ended up in Rhodesia. His mother eventually died, and he moved to South Africa to find work. We were never able to find out anything about the man's father. He was in the underground and decided to stay and fight for Poland's freedom. Today the families are in contact with each other. He now knows what happened to everyone, but his father. Give us the name(s) of whomever you wish to find. If we do not find them, maybe we can find some of their offsprings. We know many ended up in the England, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries. Some even went to South America. The more information you can give us, the more leads we can find and the better chance you may have of finding your family.
