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.
kaschawz??

No, She never told me that. I got it from INS records that were transcripts from her deportation case. Her responses were translated by a polish translator. I also got the spelling from a German Burgermaster that married her and my grandfather in 1948 in Frankfurt. It is spelled that way on the German marriage certificate.
Also, she spelled it tywoschewska herself. Her mother's name was Kaschawz.

I know of that Tarnopol. Why would she tell my mom that she was born near Krakow? Her deportation (US) testimony was in Polish and translated by a polish translator. She spelled it "t y w o s c h e w s k a" on the transcript. Was it pronounced Tivoshevska?

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?

My Grandmother's last name is spelled Tywoshewska. She said she was from Tarnopol "a little village outside of Krakow". She died in 1992. I have found transcripts, marriage license from Germany (was brought by nazis). Is Tywoshewska a real name? Her german marriage license also has in parentheses the name Tynoshenko. I am really confused.
