My father-in-law Jan Boczek was born in Dynow in 1921. He was in the Polish Army during WW2 until German occupation. He then escaped to England. He lost contact with all his family and would like to know what happened to them.

My great-great-grandmother Ewa Buczyk was born in £ubno, a village outside of Dynow. She was married to Dymitr "Matt" Kociełko or Kociołko. Could it be possible Boczyk was Buczyk? If the o was ó, it would sound the same as my family's surname, I believe.

IT COULD BE POSSIBLE. SO MANY NAMES WERE CHANGED DUE TO WHATEVER COUNTRY THIER FAMILIES MOVED TO. FINDING RECORDS IS THE HARDEST THING BECAUSE THEY COULD HAVE BEEN DESTROYED DURING THE WAR

I was told the Lemko (Ukrainian) records in £ubno were destroyed during Akcja Wisła (Operation Vistula) in 1947. That's when the Lemko families were forced out of their villages by the Polish government and placed in Russia, Ukraine and other parts of Poland... if memory serves me right. Supposedly, some of my relatives are still in Russia and Ukraine according to some of my family.

actually the surname Boczek (bacon) isn't that rare in Poland, definitely more common than Buczyk.
