Hi,My name is Tessa Pilipczuk and i have been researching my polish family tree for a long time now.My grandfather was called LEON PILIPCZUK born in 1923(roughly).He had a brother called SERGIUSZ(or spelt Sergij) PILIPCZUK born 23-06-1913,Their mother was called ZOFIA MANKOWSKA,she married MAKSYM PILIPCZUK in 1910(approx).ZOFIA was born in Rakolupy,Chelm.Maksym was born in OSTROW.
I think ZOFIA's mother was called JULIA MOLCZAN and ZOFIA's father was called TEODOR MANKOWSKI.MAKSYM PILIPCZUK's mother was called MAGDALENA DEMUSIAK and MAKSYM's father was called JAN PILIPCZUK.

Well, my great-grandmother's maiden name was Pilip. I don't know if it's possible a connection exists with your Pilipczuk family. She was born as Helen B. Pilip on February 12, 1888 in Lubno, Dynow, Poland. Her father was Wojciecha "Albert" Pilip, and her mother was Katarzyny "Katherine" Urbaniak/Urbanek/Urbanik. Does any of this seem familiar?

Merged: Pilipczuk - ORTHODOX church in Rakolupy - Chelm, Lublin
Hi,i have been researching my family tree for a long time now.I found out my grandfather and his brother belonged to the ORTHODOX CHURCH IN RAKOLUPY!I was wondering if the church is still there and if anyone knows what it looks like?Also,my grandfather attended a school in Hordysko from 1930-1932 ,does anyone know how i can get a picture of what it looked like?Thanks alot for any help,Tessa Pilipczuk:-)
This is the adress of some church there, but looks like this is a catholic church built in 80's. The one you are asking about was probably destroyed during WW2 or soon later by the commies.
how i could find out IF my great grandmother died at a concentration camp in Poland?
If you haven't done so already you should make contact the ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/its/ which has access to the International Tracing Service (at Bad Arolsen) archives which hold the survived records of millions of concentration camp victims. But you should be aware that a significant number (in some cases as much as 80%) of concentration camp records were destroyed by the SS camp authorities ahead of the Soviet and western allied forces liberation of the camps, so you may never find out a conclusive answer.
The other situation be be aware of is that it could take an age to get a reply before the USHMM gained access to the ITS records I had to wait almost 2 years for a definitive reply via Polish Red Cross and ITS.
You could also try searching the indeks.karta.org.pl/ KARTA Foundation who have an indeks.karta.org.pl/wyszukiwanie.asp online searchable database 'Index of the Repressed' ?
Hi,I'm hoping someone can help me! I have been sent these copies of a certificate! When my grandfather was captured in 1941 from his home in Chelm, Lublin he was sent to a forced labor camp,chopping wood along with his brother in siberia!!Now his name was Leon pilipczuk and his brother was called sergiusz pilipczuk but as these certificates are written in russian-I'm having some trouble translating them!! Would anyone be able to translate them or help!!!? They may give me no information but thought it would be worth asking on here!!:) kind regards,tessa
I'll try to translate this, but I don't know when, maybe tomorrow or some time later (if noone does it before me). Btw, could you scan this document? It would probably be easier to decipher the printed stuff then.
This is a release document/travel permit and looks like it was issued 4 September 1941 after the "amnesty". It was issued by the NKVD and allowed travel to a given place.You should go to
groups.yahoo/group/Kresy-Siberia/
they have lots of examples of these documents and can help you find out more about your family and their exile to Siberia etc. There is even a virtual museum.
This is as fpcuk said a certificate/travel permit issued by NKVD for Sergey Maksimovich Pilipczuk [Sergiusz (son of Maksym or Maksymilian) Pilipczuk] born in 1913 in village Rakołupy, voivodeship Lublin.
Thank you all so much for any help!! I also have a certificate in my grandfathers name-Leon pilipczuk! I was contacted and told Before their release, they were kept in Novosibirska oblast (district Novosibirsk, Tegulbiiskoie
Raiotdelenie). Does anyone have any information regarding this place?? Kind regards,tessa
