Witamy,
Welcome Mark!
I hope that this group can offer you some assistance as we all try to piece
together the details of what happened and why. Many of us have bits and
pieces of the puzzle. I wish I had started this research when I lived in
Canada, where there are more "Sybiracy" than in Australia, but the power of
the internet is such that we have members from countries across the globe.
In any case, for a lot of material on this whole tragic episode, please
visit the site www.AForgottenOdyssey.com and check out the links.
Regards,
Pozdrawiam,

Subject: Interest in group
Dear Stefan,
I came across your group from the Yahoo Polish chat group.
My interest is that my late father Edmund Terech was deported to Archangielsk
along with both his parents. From there he joined the Polish army when it was
being formed, serving in the 2nd Korpus, 5th Kresowa Dywizja Piechoty, 5
Kresowa Baon C.K.M. with whom he fought with at Monte Cassino. After Italy he
settled in England.
My mother Krystina Kornecka was deported to Uralsk with her parents and her 2
brothers. When the Polish army was being formed her father joined the army and
both her brothers joined the cadets My mother along with her mother and
Grandmother were then sent to Africa (Camp Ifundi) afterwards settling in
England were she met my father.
My Father in Law Ludwik Rudkowski along with his mother and 2 sisters were
deported to Semipalatinsk (his father was a policeman in Poland and was
arrested earlier) He also joined the Army and served in the Parachute
Regiment.
This is just a brief outline I am in the process of recording there lives for
my children to read. Hope your group might be of some help I will give details
of the villages they were born etc.etc. in aa later e-mail
Regards
Mark
