Hi Gary!
Welcome! I'm hopeful you'll find the info you're searching for regarding your
parents. My parents both died, too before I was old enough (8 and 22 yrs.) to
be seriously interested in inquiring about my ancestry. Back then they had
other things on their minds because they needed to work long and hard to eek
out a living, understand and learn a new language, raising a family under
different conditions, helping and supporting family members still living in
Poland or struggling to come here; these were only some of the problems
confronting our parents and grandparents and presented very little time to
reminisce. My father did write his mother's maiden name for me in a Bible
that belonged to my maternal uncle which I have. That, with a couple letters
my father had written, and his Declaration of Intent were about all I had to
go about finding my family in Poland in later years but I found them! Through
them, I found out that I have a cousin living in Canada with his two sons! We
are all very close and nothing has been as rewarding or brought me
fulfillment as knowing my family. I'm still searching for missing pieces and
family members ---if you keep working on it, I believe you'll get the
information you're looking for, too! Godspeed!
Sincerely, Betty Lloyd - CT
