Genealogy / Motyl - Tracing My Polish Roots for the 1st time [28]
My mother's ancestors have proved a real challenge. My mother Maria T(h)eresa Szczepanska born 22 March 1925, was deported to Germany in May 1942. She met my English father, they married and came to England in 1946.
Her parents Michal Szczepanski married Zofia Mrozowska about 1923. They lived in Lwow, Poland. Michal was a senior banker in the regional branch of a national bank. Michal and Zofia were arrested separately in 1940 and possibly taken to Siberia. The family were Roman Catholic however my DNA shows 49% European Jewish (not my paternal side). Making my mother Jewish. I've searched many sites but nothing as yet. Any help I would be grateful for.
