Peter 3 | 248 18 Jan 2010 / #1This is a long shot but here goes.By chance does anyone know or know of the children of Michael Pristow (Przystawski)? Michael was the son of Eugeniusz Przystawski (who changed his name to Pristow) and also had a brother Stephen who died in a motorcycle accident in Texas.Eugeniusz emigrated to the UK from Sokal, Poland. Either Eugeniusz or his children married a red-haired woman, served in the navy and eventually relocated to Scotland.
