Genealogy / Looking for My Grandfather Polish Documents in Poland - 1900-1945 [12]

Dear Mr. Zbyszek:

Good Afternoon!!!

First of all I would like to thank you for the message. It is very important for me and my Family to find any Polish document. By the way, I am more than aware in respect to the citizenship procedures and the need of documents that can be accepted by Polish authorities.

Well, let´s see if the information i am providing below will help:

1) From my Grand grand father - Mr. Abram Aron Sztajn:

He was born in Rakow (May 10th 1882). He arrived in Rio Grande Port/Brasil in a ship called Neptunia (September 16th 1933).
When he arrived he presented a Polish Passport number III/1-1371/33, that was emitted by Grodzki Mayor on July 22nd 1933 (Warsaw), for the Brazilian authorities. The Passport was written in Polish and in French (I do not have the document, only the information provided by the Brazilian Archives of Immigration)

He was son of Kopel and Esther Sztajn.

2) From my Grand grand mother - Mr. Abram Aron Sztajn traveled with my Gran grand mother, Mrs. Laji Sztajn, at the same ship. She was born in Novy-Korczyn (Poland) in May 10th 1893.

3) From my Grandfather, Mr. Saul Sztajn (Abram and Laji Sztajn): He was born on June 10th 1908 (Warsaw). He traveled to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) from Marseille (France) on a ship called Florida (arrived in Rio de Janeiro on December 31st 1932). He served at the Polish army in 1926-1927 (for 18 month - Vilnius/Lithuania) as a recruit.

4) My Grand grand uncles (Saul brother´s) were called Nuta and Kalman Sztajn (I do have their polish documents and plenty information about them. Also, I have a bunch of Brazilian cousins who already have their Polish Passport (I can give you all the names - more than 20, I guess - if necessary).

I hope the information I am giving can help in addition all data I already gave you.

All the best,

Ricardo Stein

Genealogy / Looking for My Grandfather Polish Documents in Poland - 1900-1945 [12]

Dear All:

Good Evening!!!

I hope you can help me!!! I am searching for any Polish document from my Grandfather, Mr. Saul Sztajn. Since he was from Warsaw and documents from this city were destroyed during the II World War, I could not found anything up to now. I am a Brazilian citizen and need such a document for Polish citizenship purposes.

A hint is in regard he was born in 1908 and served at the Polish army in 1926-1927 (for 18 month - Vilnius/Lithuania).

He immigrated to Brazil (city: Porto Alegre) by sheep (before 1934). It is possible he arrived in Santos or Rio de Janeiro Port (I am also searching at different Brazilian entities).

One of my most important question is: How can I obtain his Polish army enlistment records/certificate?

Thank in advance,

Ricardo Stein

PS* When he arrived in Brazil he changed his surname from Sztajn to Stein.
