If he was from a noble or rich family it could be home schooling with a private tutor/teacher.
Frederic is in French and Fryderyk in Polish, like the Polish pianist Fryderyk Chopin, who also used French version of his first name when in France.
I didn't know that Trevor already had earlier posts regarding the same matter - thx moderator for moving his last post where it should be.
Trevor - it makes much easier if you keep one topic in one post.
That way it is easier and quicker to uncover some facts without guessing what's already is uncovered.
Was it private schooling?

Yes, it's pronounced as Stashko . In PolishStaszko and it could be a shortened version of Polish first name Stanisław . Stanisław in short could be: Staś, Staszek, Staszko, Stasiek, Stasiu.
Stanisław is Stanley in English.
Are you sure the surname is Frederowicz or it is Federowicz. I used to know a Polish national with Federowicz surname.
I want to add, ZSRR (CCCP) the Soviet Russia or Soviet Union used to include all the former Republics like: Ukraine and many more.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
It doesn't always mean that if the person used to live in the former territory of ZSSR (Soviet Union) was of Russian origin. Many Polish nationals were living in the ZSSR area as well.
By the way, is Сташко pronounced as STASHKO? My russian is horrible, but i think that's how it is said phonetically

"ZSRR", I'm guessing this is Russia? Means Soviet Russia

Genealogy / Lubuskie Region / Rąpice Cemetery [19]
I was rised in the western part and I know & saw how it was in one specific area of Lubuskie Wojewodztwo.
It shouldn't be a surprise if Poles were burning German books or vandalising signs written in German as it could be seen as a way of manifesting the freedom. That's understandable, don't you think so?
In the area where I grew up all the existing churches were transformed into Catholic churches! Not even one has been destroyed and I don't believe people were different on other parts of the western side.
Anyone can go and visit the western part of Poland and see for yourself, see those nicely kept and renovated very old churches.
On the contrary, on the eastern side, all of the Polish churches were adopted by Russians into farm buildings and left to deteriorate. I don't know this from books but from living people or their relatives who went to the area many years after the war.
The Germans cemeteries, believe it or not were not always destroyed but often used by the Poles - at least that's how it was in my area. Those cemeteries were kind of parted into "old" and "new" sites.
Over the time Poles build completely new cemeteries and everyone was able to move the bodies of their relatives to the new site. I remember that some German families came over to the area to collect their relatives bodies, I think it was in '70 or start '80. Somehow they find out about the relocation.
Also, there were some German families who didn't left the area after the war -surprisingly they were permitted to stay and live among the Poles.
Probably it wasn't easy for them to stay but it was their choice.
were very eager to erase everything that reminded of the German past

Why would Poles want to destroy anything in their new place??? They were glad if the houses were livable, if the roads were drivable etc.
Have a look on the internet how nice and clean western Poland look today, if Poles were about to destroy the region, as you suggest, many old buildings shouldn't exist today.
Even Polish communists were not interested in destroying anything.
Soon after the war Poles opened their eyes and had more hatred towards Russians than civilian Germans but they could do nothing about it. There was noone to help.

Looks like someone just woke up from a very long sleep and now wants everything ready & please explain on his plate.
kurt428 why don't you make yourself familiar with the area's history and what happened after the WWII, starting from the year 1945 .
You'll learn a few very important facts about the Poles loosing their houses and farms on the eastern side of Poland and beeing forced to move to the unknown western area, a part of new Poland.
This western side was already in Russian hands who were managing the process of moving people from (Germans) and to the area.
Before Polish people could move to the area anything what looked too nice and too good or too Bourgeoisie was destroyed by the commie Russian soldiers ie: churches, too nice looking houses, roads and many beautiful parks etc.). I know this because I was born and rised in Lubuskie region and I know a lot of stories told by the people living over there.

Language / "There will always be a Poland" in Polish [9]
Depends on the context. Your translation: "Polska zawsze będzie istnieć" or "Polska nigdy nie zginie"
For example, our Polish national anthem starts with:
"Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła, póki my żyjemy..."
and it means....Poland is not yet lost , until we (the Polish people) are alive
Or, Poland has not yet perished, until we are alive.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]
Aren't they? I am a proof the Cyganie (the roma people) are the biggest thieves in the world. You don't deserve to be called as a nation by a capital letter.
My story in Poland: i was a child about 9 years old and one day i have answered ( I should not while my parents were away - in this case, they were away for about one hour only) the door to a heavily pregnant young roma girl (in Poland born and rised) and her ugly looking roma grandma or mother - these two roman (both Polish raised and probably the old one born in Poland as well!!!) have robbed me- a child and my parents house while i was offering them some food -a piece of ham about 1kilo. They still robbed our family of everything, including cloths, food -I really mean everything, everything what was available at the moment in the house.
It was about 2 weeks to the Christmas and most of the things or food were bought for the incoming season.
The romans were known for robbing usually a home while the parents were absent (they spied on the houses) or a poor houses with people who were always open to help others in need.
That's why everyone, even today, hates Cyganie-the roma people in Poland and from what I know, in every neighbouring to Poland other countries.
You - the roma people should be ashmed of your crimes in Poland!

When someone is born with a natural piece of spiky hair we used to call it kogut or kogucik (in English means "rooster" and "little rooster") .
