Nick, I do not recall if you have established where your family was in Poland????

Kazimierz's was the latter. wikipedia.org give says that he had a son named Kazimierz, Jr. and a daughter named Irena. His wife was named Dorothy and English born. There is nothing more about her in the Wikipedia article. Kazimierz, Sr. died in a concentration camp in 1945. I think you may need to show how you were related to him to locate his two descendants. I think Mary's suggestions are good. See if you can find someplace on the Internet where he was born. If you know where your ancestors came from, and they are close to the place, you may be related to him, but you are going to need to do this the old fashioned way ...
