Hello and thank you for any help that anyone can provide.
My wife, Irena Kupiec (now known as Irene Roberts) was born on 06/04/1949 in Zabrze to a Czech, Gustav Kupiec, who served in the Polish airforce (I believe) and met her mother Elizabeth (Betty) Kennedy while billeted in Alva, Scotland during WW2. They married in Scotland and returned to live in the Zabrze, Gliwice area of Poland shortly after the end of the war.
Gustav was a mines inspector before the war in Czechoslovakia and went to Poland to join the airforce. In 1956 my wife and her mother returned to Scotland, but unfortunately Gustav did not. He remarried sometime later but has since died. I do not know whether he had any more children and therefore if my wife has any half brothers, or sisters.
I have photographs of Gustav that I could upload and could possible get some more detailed information about him from my wife, but I'm trying to find her family details for her as a surprise.
Thanks again for any help offered.
