Genealogy / Tywoshewska, Kashawz Trying to find out where my grandmother is really from [6]
I got the spellings from the INS files from my grandmother's marriage certificate and travel documents. Her INS files said she was illiterate so maybe some German clerk spelled it like she said. My Grandfather's last name is spelled wrong also. Zaksewicz. No other spellings like it anywhere.

Genealogy / Tywoshewska, Kashawz Trying to find out where my grandmother is really from [6]
My grandmother, Walentyna Tywoshewska said she was from Tarnopol, a "little village outside of krakow". In 1943, she was sent to Donbass mines by the Germans in Russia. After 6 months, she was brought to Achen, Germany as a polish laborer. On the map, tarnopol is nowhere near krakow. She married my grandfather, a US soldier in Germany, Frankfurt. Her marriage certificate from the Burgermeister, states birthplace as Tarnopol. Her father, Jozef Tywoshewski, died in 1933. Mother, Marie Kashawz, was lost, literally, in WWII Labor camps. Brother and sister died at Aachen in bombing in april 1944. On the German marriage license, her name is also spelled in (), Tynoshenko. Sounds Ukranian. What's up?
