Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?!

Hello Cojestdocholery It is likely to have been 1946-50 Do you know if the Polish Embassy in London would be able to help with my father`s personal info and timeline from all those years ago?

I doubt it. It only means that he could be one of those people who were forced to escape from Soviet occupied Poland. It is possible on fake papers. It would be rather diffcult to find out if his name was a fake.

Not impossible but you would have to put a lot of efford into it. For start you could ask the Polish Embassy for a directions - where to start.

I think this forum would be of a limited use to you. It is an American forum.

maybe spend some more time with your half sister she might remember a tiny thing ...

there are plenty of Brits here. You might contact the Polish Cultural Centre i think its in Kensington or Hammersmith.

they would at least know about this kind of thing, where to look, and maybe have more time for it than embassy staff who are really only there to represent their living citizens.

@Urzula
If you do a DNA test from ancestry.com or 23 and Me (do both if your budget allows), it will flag up any other people who've done the test who are relatives, close or distant.

This may help to provide some answers or point you in a useful direction.

@Cojestdocholery I didn`t know this was an American forum, it says Polish forum in my search bar. Thank you @ rozumiemnic for that info, I will give it a go.

@ jon357 I have already done that, thank you

Hammersmith..
