Below is a partial list of media outlets worldwide that we should contact
through in Polish, English or local langues of a country and have them
search their files for any information they have regarding Polish Refugees.
We should create a basic form that anyone can use to send or contact these
media outlets. We should send all information to a central clearing source
for assembly. The same should be true to all governments we request
information. We should have official letter stationary to add credence to
our requests. It would be great if the stationary had Polish Official or
Kresy-Siberia official signatures. If we do nothing we will receive
nothing. There is no reason to wait or accept walls to stop our requests.
These are simple requests that have nothing to do with politics.

Great idea Julian. I was excited until one word came to mind - Russia.
Normally, I say soviets, but it is Russia now.
The International court told them to give up the information and like
usual they thumb their nose at it.

*Subject:* [Kresy-Siberia (Yahoo)] Finding our loved family and friends
There are approximately 20 million Polish people residing worldwide
outside of Poland.
There are approximately 38 million Polish people residing in Poland.
There are thousands of Polish people trying to find their relatives and
friends for the last 77 years that were scattered through the world because
of WW2.
There has been little if any help from the Polish government, all Polish
private and public agencies and all countries and data storage organization
throughout the world in this effort.
As I mentioned before this would be a simple task to accomplish
especially at this stage of technology.
The question is “why has the Polish community been silent on this
matter” and not demanded action to help these suffering family members
searching through scraps of information daily for family members?
I suggest that all of us contact all Polish Embassy through the world,
all foreign government that we know gave refugee to the Polish refugees and
all libraries of nations involved in the WW2 effort and request their
entire database regarding the Polish refugees and current Polish population
databases.
Yes I also think that Stefan and his Kresy-Siberia Organization should
take the lead to organize this effort.
229 POLISH EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES
I am asking that all of us add to this list all libraries that we know
have databases throughout the world that might have information that would
be important to this effort.
I ask that we share OCR programs that transfer jpeg pages into a word
documents and excel type that then can be sorted for easier searches. I ask
that we transfer all PDF pages into regular word documents for the same
reason.
I have English based OCR program but I do not have a Polish OCR program
does anyone have one that can used for that purpose?
Can everyone list all important polish government officials in this
document and their e-mail addresses so all of us can contact them to help
in this effort or ask why they refuse to help in this effort.
Once we have standard word type pages each of us can have the pages
translated in Google for free. That program does not give us a perfect
translation but it is excellent tool to find our families and some basic
history about them.
Our hearts bleed for information about our relative. Poland and all of
us should do everything possible to help our people.
