Hi Yvonne thanks for your email - I have tried that and the Luschwitz' that come up are unfortunately not related. There are few and far between 'Indian' born on the LDS site. I think this is because they were RCs and the 'returns' were never sent to England or wherever- unlike the CofE records. I am unsure of the European family line hence I cannot search LDS for German/Prussian/Polish areas...a little frustrating. I am trying to engage a researcher in Poland to help. Thank you for your concern I appreciate it.
