Welcome to Adrian Nessel. I hope that through this group, she will find a
number of ways to get the information she seeks.

Here are my reasons for joining the group.
My father now deceased, Jozef Nessel originated from Lwow and
was involved in the September Uprising of 1939. He was later imprisoned in
the Siberian prison camp system (no idea where) until 1942 when he joined
with General Anders and made his way to Palestine and the 8th Army. He
later arrived in the UK in 1943 and transferred to the Parachute Brigade in
Scotland. After the War he never returned home, but settled in Scotland
where he married and lived a full life.
I have been carrying out family history research for some 12 months now in
an attempt to learn more and to trace any remaining family in Poland. As a
result of this research I made contact with the Polish Records Section of
the Home Office in London seeking information. Among other things I was
told that in Poland my father was married to an Ewa Chudziak and that they
had a son Stanislaw who was born in 1940. This has been a shock for us all
including my own mother so I have been concentrating a great deal of time in
developing this part of my research to confirm their existence and to
establish if they are still alive or not. To date I have had no positive
results which suggest they are still alive. For me it's important that I
locate records or information about Siberia and the camps in the hope of
establishing the truth. Hopefully this site will assist me in my quest for
the truth.
