Genealogy / I am looking for relatives of Wreczycki family [3]

Hi guys,

I am hoping one or more of you can help me, or at least point me in the right direction.

My grandfather "Erich Wreczycki" (DOB 02/04/1941) was born in Krakow.
He had two brothers: "Eugeniuss (DOB 14/07/1934) and "Zigmunt" (DOB 29/04/1936)

I do not know which parish they lived but I know they are/were Catholics.

Their parents were: "Stanislaw Wreczycki" (DOB 01/05/1903) and Josefa Wreczycki (10/11/1909). They were married on the 24/02/1930 in Poland. I do not know Josefa's maiden name.

This entire family emigrated to Australia in 1950 on the ship "General Hahn". I believe prior to this they were processed in a town called "Bad Follingbostel" in Lower Saxony, Germany.

I know that both Stanislaw and Josefa had siblings who survived the war and would have gone on to have their own families. I am desperate to find even the most distant of relatives and I would appreciate anyone's help but please no abuse.

Genealogy / I am looking for relatives of Wreczycki family [3]

Wreczycki is the spelling on all their documents so I would assume it is the correct spelling. Thank you very much for your help in any case.

I have come up with some more information though. My grandfather Erich married a woman called "Rozalia Jedrzejewski". I know her father Stefan (DOB 08/01/1912) was born and probably married her mother Antonina in the village of Markowicze. That village is very small in south eastern Poland. Do you think it would be possible to access parish records?

Life / Help with bureaucracy in Poland regarding citizenship [17]

Hello all,

I'm writing from Australia and I'm in the process of gaining my Polish citizenship. It is a long process as you can imagine.

Several documents must be translated back and forth between Polish and English and documents need to be filed with the Polish Interior Ministry.

I'm looking for an intermediary living in Poland who would be willing to help me in my dealings with the Polish Government.

Please feel free to contact me via Private Message if you have any questions or would be kind enough to help.

Adam Jones.

Bucknall the advice I have been given is that it is completely unnecessary to hire a third party to help you. This is especially true since the Polish law change in May 2012.

If you are having trouble acquiring your mother's birth certificate and you know the town where she was born you will be able to contact the relevant parish and request a copy. This is a slow process and correspondence needs to be in Polish.

Bucknall I completely agree with everything Harry has just written. Just to reiterate the point about paying money to a third party - it's an unregulated industry; they can and will charge you as much as they like.

I strongly recommend taking advice from the appropriate consulates. They may be able to help connect you with a reputable genealogy organisation.

I hope all goes well for you though.

Genealogy / Jurczyk surname [8]

Merged: Looking for relatives of either the Zuk or Jurczyk families

Hi, I'm looking for possible relatives of my two maternal great-grandmothers. Both were born in Poland in the 1910s and both emigrated to Australia leaving relatives behind.

Their names were Antonina Zuk (b1918) (married Stefan Jedrzejewski) and Jozefa Jurczyck (b1910) (married Stanislaw Wreczycki)

Both have since sadly died.

I believe Antonina was born in the area Luck, which is now the Ukraine and Jozefa was born in the Czestochowa area.

Hope you guys can help!

Genealogy / Rozyszcze Birth Registry [9]

Hi Linda,

Are you or is anyone able to tell me the nearest civil registry to a village called Bór Zajacinski? And can you confirm that if my relatives were born there before 1914, the records will now be in Warsaw?

Regards,

Adam Jones
