ROMANOWSKI HISTORY [24]
@BARBARA NEGRI
Hello, as this sound like a good story, it is hard to establish any such claims without dna testing and establishing who came fro where in trms of ancestry.
Romanowski, was and still is very common last name in Poland, USA, Canada, as far as I know.
How ever many of Romanowski people left Poland, Bielorrusia, territory for USA, beginning of the century....
My family roots go to Pruzhany town and surrounding areas, now Bielorrusia, then in 1939, Poland.
I know little about it , except from oral information from my dad and his brothers and sisters.
To say it plainly, I'm still not sure what happened then in September 1939, in Kletno village.
All I ever been told, you grandpa was killed then by soviet belarusian sympathisers in cruel and not humane way.
And then they force us, my generation to learn russian in school for 8 long years during Poland's , soviet occupation days 1945 - till left Poland in 1981.
Maybe someone here knows what was happening then in the eastern regions of Poland. Any info. is very welcome.
Cheers all.
