If you join the yahoo group discussion page listed on the first link, they'll point you in the right direction. Quite a few persons there have been able to trace their families fate.

Be sure to check additional pages on the second link, then you'll be able to view surname lists of persons deported to Russia

History / The WW2 Polish Cemetary and Records at Monte Cassino [9]

If he was from the Nowogrodek area, then this link will show all the soldiers buried in different cemeteries, inluding Monte Cassino.

It lists each Powiat, then the soldiers from each Powiat.

I had a link to a webpage which had all the soldiers names that were buried at Monte Cassino, but the link no longer works...I couldn't find any other sites searching google

History / The WW2 Polish Cemetary and Records at Monte Cassino [9]

I just found the following webpages. The first is a list of Polish soldiers buried at Monte Cassino.

The second link is the main webpage of the Polish Cemetery at Monte Cassino. It's in Polish.

The 3rd link has the soldiers grave photos. They're grouped in sections. You can use the info from the first link...(what section the soldier is buried in) then find that section on the 3rd links webpage.

Genealogy / STEFAN RYBINSKI- ARRIVED NEW YORK 1910 - CAN YOU HELP [19]

The city & state are hard to read on the page which shows up when you click on manifest image(this is actually page 2 of the manifest)

When you click on previous page(which is page 1 of the manifest) it's still difficult to read, but if you scroll down, there is a line where the person had written Ill Chicago, and Ill is written the same for Stefan, so the state is for sure Illinois. To me it looks like:

??? 2nd St E. St. Louis Ill

As far as the Surname on page two(who Stefan was going to stay with) it is

Stanislaw ..iewicz

I found a World War 2 draft card image for Stephen Rybinski from Baltimore Maryland

Found it here:

search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html

Once there you have to go to image number 24

There's no way to confirm exact date of birth from a ship manifest. I understand your dilema...trying to confirm that the Stephan Rybinski from Baltimore is the same person listed as Stefan Rybinski on the 1910 manifest.

Here's a thought: If Stephan Rybinski from Baltimore ever became a naturalized US citizen, then his Petition For Naturalization(which would have been filed first) would list on what date he entered the US, and what ship he traveled on.

Caprice49,

I took another look at page 2 of the manifest. Stefan didn't come because his brother was ill.
This part of the manifest asks where the immigrants destination is in USA, and the immigrants relationship to the person listed at this adress.

For the 2 persons arriving with Stefan- it reads "brother il" which is ..Brother-in-law

For Stefan- it reads "acqu"..which I believe to be ..acquaintance

The draft card is actually a draft registration card. He registered, but didn't serve. This was a draft registration for men born after 1877, and before 1897. It is more commonly called "The old man's draft registration"

If, in the event that the older men were needed for the war, the names, and information would be available for a call up for service.

No problem,

Here is a link for naturalization: home.att.net/~wee-monster/naturalization.html

Genealogy / Bialorus/Belarus 1939 [7]

You can take a look at the lists on the webpage which has lists here:

kresy-siberia.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5687

Keep in mind that the alphabetical listings jump back and forth a bit, so always look a few pages further, even after you find a surname you're looking for.

I found a whole family that I was looking for in these lists, it took a while, but I found them.

I don't remember if it shows a village name with the surnames or not. It's been a while since I searched there.

I went to this site and looked up a surname, and it does list their full name, birth year, sometimes with complete birth date, the town they were from, and to the location of refugee camp they were being sent to.

I looked at the civilian list, each list you open is multiple pages, you'll see this when you scroll all the way to the right when you first open the list. It will show that there are a bunch of image pages.

As far as finding a surname alphabetically, make sure you search through all the pages that have surnames starting with the same letter as the surname you are searching. The list are in order, but start over alphabetically a few times. The persons number in the list starts over whenever the first letter in the surname changes.

For example:

I looked for a surname in the first image list ..Dubicki ...found one at 31 in the list, then another at 243, 323, 474, and finally 869-876 these being on different pages, but they were all from the town of Naliboki.

There are multiple image lists at the site, and each one opens to multiple image pages. I'm sure you'll find the surnames you are looking for, but it will take a while, unless you find them in the first few lists.

I have never tried printing a page of the list. The problem with that would be that it is actually an image page, so it would be like printing a huge photo.

I just right clicked on the image I was interested in, then clicked save, so I have a copy of it on my PC.

There is another list on the page titled:

Red Cross LIST of Polish refugees sent to Africa and beyond

kresy-siberia.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=6180

This is another good source of information because it lists to which refugee camp the persons were sent to. Unfortunately, the images don't enlarge enough to be able to read what's on each page. I did get a response from someone who helps maintain the page, and they are aware of the problem and plan to adrress it.

For those who are interested in Displaced Persons from refugee camps arriving in UK after the war, there are a number of ship manifest lists transcribed. The ships and lists are at this link:
