Any help would be appreciated. My grandmother Wanda, Adel Wolinska her father Jozef Wolinski her mother Aniela Tomaszewska. I know that her mother and father were listed on her birth certificate/ christening record, and she had said it was Warsawa 1924.
Things become even more confused because when the Germans came she lived on a farm outside of Warsaw with her mother, stepfather ( I have no idea what happened to her real father Jozef at this time),, her younger half brother, and her stepfather's invalid mother. They shot and killed her mother, stepfather, and her stepfather's mother in front of her and then took her half brother to re-educate him and put her in a work camp. I believe she was 15years old at this time. Any help in finding any paper trail of any of this or her possible aunts, uncles, cousins would be highly appreciated.
I have attempted To create a family tree on a couple of different ancestry websites but there are so many similar names as her mother's name and father's name in her area that I am sure my trees are completely wrong:( Also I cannot find her name anywhere. I saw her christening record when she passed away and we were cleaning out her estate but it has now since gone missing.
This is my last hope, the only other option I believe I have is to take a DNA test to try and trace her family.
