Thanks
Stefan!

I
think your right about the priests name. ?Looking at the writing the 'n'
and the 'd' are written?exactly the same way?as those in Ludford
Magna. I've
updated the album to show the name as Lewandowski. Re; Jaworski, Zbaraz is about
50miles from where dad lived. Dad's family were also farmers so I guess it could
be him, they?did have?some things in
common.?
Stefan, how do
you get such fast access to the Hoover Institue records? Is there a web link to
their listings?
?
Thanks again, Ken.

Thanks for sharing these photos and the
details you put into the descriptions. ?Here are some comments.
On
the photo of your dad and friends, it looks like that is short for "Boleslaw
Kosy". Also, there is a statement by ?a Jan Jaworski archived in the
Hoover Institution. ?If he is the same fellow, he was a farmer from
Zbaraz, Tarnopol province.
On your father's baptism certificate,
"LEWANDOWSKI" is a proper Polish name for the priest.
My
great-grandfather Roman Wisniowski was also exiled to Siberia in 1863 after
the rebellion but had to take the false name "TUCZYNSKI" to avoid detection by
the Russians after he escaped back to Poland.
Regards,
Stefan
Wisniowski
