Re: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] Introducing new member Barbara Ryszkowska from London England
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBarbara, the link comes up fine and I can see the road to Stara Hut and you are on the other side of the Slucz River, the same as me.? My family of Chmielewski comes from the Colony of Niwna 60k from Slucz River and 30k from Zhitomierz, on the other side of the Riga Treaty Line of 1921 or as written on Strony O Wolyniu, ¡°za Kordonem¡±. . Many of KS members have placed their families mark on this site. ?This is a permanent record and enables people to find each other, who lived there before 1939, ?but in my research, nothing can go past the sincere assistance, caring and knowledge given by Kresy-Siberia Group for filling in the gaps between the pieces of puzzle with continuous, ongoing research, always finding new information, survivor testimony of loved ones lost and in the existing group we have actual survivors of those horrific times, giving their own personal recollections and assisting new comers like you and me. I found a place where I am accepted and belong, knowing where I came from and who I am, proud of my people. Regards, Lenarda, Australia ?? ? From: Kresy-Siberia@...

Hi Mark T, ? Thank you for the info regarding the 3 Misiewicz on the Katyn lists.? I was not aware of this, as my grandfather, Felicjan (Feliks) Misiewicz, born in 1898, was killed by the Ukrainian nationalists in 1943 and I know very little about his family background.??As far as I know his brother Michal?was also murdered?with all his family, apart from one son Tadeusz?(now deceased) who survived and?whom I met as he was living in London.? My family lived in a village called Niemilja, gmina Ludwipol, powiat Kostopol, wojewodztwo wolynskie, parafia Huta Stara.? I would be interested to know if anyone else knows of anybody who came from this village, which no longer exists as it was burnt to the ground. ? Barbara Ryszkowska London, UK ? From: Mark <turkiewiczm@...> ? I see 3 Misiewicz on the Katyn lists. Feliks Misiewicz, born 1888, son of Konstantego -?Charkow Jan Misiewicz, born 1908, son of Piotra - Katyn Mieczyslaw Misiewicz, born 1912, son of Leona - Charkow ? Mark T.Canada From: Helen Bitner <helen.bitner@...> ? ?Dear group Please welcome new member Barbara who is also known as Barbara Alison ?songwriter ?( Web Page:?) Barbara's ?father's name was Wladyslaw Ryszkowski. He was living in Marcinkance, Nr Grodno, when WW2 broke out.? He was deported to Siberia in February 1940 with his father Mieczyslaw, his mother Waclawa and his two brothers Edmund and Czeslaw. Mieczyslaw ? died of typhoid (tyfus plamisty), but Waclawa with her three sons enlisted with the Polish Army and ?managed to get out of Siberia. ?Wladyslaw and Czeslaw took part in the Normandy Campaign with the Polish 1st Armoured Division, and Edmund took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino with the 2nd Corps. Barbara's mother Walentyna (nee Misiewicz) came from a village called Niemilja in Wolyn.? Her father Felicjan and two sisters (Maria & Zofia) were murdered by the Ukrainian nationalists. Walentyna ?survived with her mother Florentyna and two younger sisters (Alina & Danuta).? They were deported by the Germans to Austria, then transferred for a short time to Germany, and finally ended up in Italy where Walentyna joined the Polish Army and worked in a military hospital. ? ? Barbara is now writing about her parents' experiences (based on their narratives) as a legacy to younger members of the family, and ?she hopes that by joining the Kresy-Siberia group she will be able to get some additional information to help me with her writing. ? Thank you Barbara for your kind donation and I wish you lots of success in your writing.? Kind regards Helen Bitner Colchester UK ? ? ? |
