History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]


Well unfortunately it is. But it should be taken into context by remembering how some Jews behaved towards the Poles. No one is blameless, and that includes the Jews! Bierut is a prime example and for the doubters the Israeli newspapers listed the Jewish perpetrators as did Solzenicyn.

Language / Why in the world there are three ways to write simple U ?!?! [54]


Never. You need to adjust your linguistic ear.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]


Churchill made a pact in 1943 in Teheran to hand over the eastern part of Poland. How can they not feel betrayed. Churchill acted in the interest of UK but at the expense of the Poles who believed they were fighting for their country. Some ally!!

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]


Most definitely. See Polonius thread on previous page

History / WWII - who really was the first to help Poland? [901]

Have you looked at the original ship's manifest. Spellings aren't always correct when typed. What was her first name?

There are several families living in and around Chorzow with the same surname.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


Hot head??? It's attitudes like that cause wars and innocent young men meet an early death through political whims.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


They've clearly forgotten all the suffering their people endured - presumably that's why it is ok to treat immediate neighbours they way they do.

Genealogy / LISIA GORA - village in Poland [16]


I recollect my father mentioning the family name. Lisia Gora is quite small, so our families undoubtably knew each other.

Genealogy / Family Name UNIATYCKI from Lwow [11]


A person by that name is listed in the Kresy Siberia Museum Memorial.

Law / How can I get Polish citizenship after been married to a Polish spouse [75]


A friendly tip: Get your marriage Brazilian marriage registered in Poland. This is done either through the Polish Embassy in Brazil or through the authorities in Poland.

Have a surname?

Genealogy / Need some help with Bublitz family origin. [23]


Unlike the place the surname most likely would have been Bublicz

Genealogy / Need some help with Bublitz family origin. [23]


Pomerania was autonomous in 1933 and possibly for that reason the name was Bublitz. The history of the region is very checkered. Sweden/Branderburg Prussia/Poland/German Empire/Germany and even France held sovereignity at different periods. From 1815 it came under Poland.

Genealogy / Gorzelnik and/or Podgorczyk family tree [11]


Good luck. I hope it proves accurate.

Genealogy / LISIA GORA - village in Poland [16]


Thanks for replying. I went there many moons ago.

I do speak Polish but am not sure whether I should use the language here.

How far is the village from Kraków and do you know the best way to approach it:- bus/train as I thinking of going there. (I am trying to check out some family history as one of my relatives emigrated to USA and now we are looking for descandants but need a date of birth)

Would you happen to know the best time to visit the church as I need to dig into the family history. I need to go back to 1883 so are there the records kept there or is there a central place for archives. I'd hate to go all that way, and then be turned away.

My father born in Lisia Gora came from a family of 14, but 7 of them were from my grandmother and the remainder from my stepgrandmother whom my grandfather married after my grandmother died. Some of them have died and I have lost touch with the remainder. My grandfather built the church gates, but I don't suppose they are still standing.

Pozdrowienia

Many thanks
I never realised it was that large.

Is anyone out there who comes from that village?

Genealogy / Gorzelnik and/or Podgorczyk family tree [11]


There is no such place however there is a place called Wierzawice
Apolonia came in 1914 but can't read the place on the ship's manifest. A lot of the records are inaccurate in spelling partly due to the handwriting on the ship's manifest.

Genealogy / 1939 Krakow - what happened to the residents? [21]

I've hit a brick wall searching for relatives in USA. I have found my great uncle Stefan Rybinski entered New York in 1910. Thanks to people on this site I found documentation to show a Stephen lived and died in Baltimore. However, I'm not sure whether Stephen & Stefan are the one and same person. The year of birth is the same, and I have a date of birth for Stephen, but I need to trace Stefan's movements so I can be sure I am dealing with the one and same person. Any ideas?

The site lists various locations and number of Dabrowski in each location.

Genealogy / Does anyone have any relatives who served with 1st Polish Armoured Division (Gen. Maczek) [310]


So did mine. Do you know whether he was in the first REgiment? If so he would have been stationed in Duns, Scotland - where a memorial was put up in memory all those who fought for the Division. For many years those who survived used to meet up in London - Either in the Polish Cultural Centre (POSK) or in Kensington around the corner from the Club "Polskie Ognisko" - Polish Hearth

SNIP
The reason Poles didn't participate in the victory parade, was because the Brits invited the Polish Government, but in the last minute they realised they hadn't been allies with that element (Lublin Committee) of Polish Government, so at the ninth hour those who had represented the Polish Government in Exile were hurriedly invited. It was felt however, that the parade for Poles would have meant a march for defeat and so no one took part.


It can be only one of three. Do keep searching. If you need any help with the Polish just copy and paste - Just make sure you keep out family names.

I'm reading Rising 44 Battle for Warsaw by Norman Davies. It's shaken me, even though I was brought up on a lot of information it provides. I recommend reading it. It gives a very accurate account.

Genealogy / Leszczynski surname, Balcerzak [51]


Polonius3 would happen to know who is researching Rybinski (see Stefan Rybinski - 1910 thread)
