Hi Paul
?
Are these all pictures of Lwow? They are fascinating! Thanks. If they are all of Lwow, I'm going to copy a few to add to my family history that I have now completed.

Hi Ricardo
?
You should try reading Straws in the Wind by Eugene Krajewski. At the beginning of his story he talks about names ending in?ski and wicz, which indicated noble ancestry. Very interesting and the whole book is a must read for all of us. Very easy to read and a very good portrayal of Eugene's family's experiences.

Subject: [Kresy-Siberia] Surname suffix

Hello group,
?
I always heard from my Mom?that the suffix -wicz was added to my surname at some point in history. According to her, it was given to people who fought in wars and returned as heroes (or something along the lines). Does anybody has any information about this and how it worked? An email from Bela made me wonder, since there is another Polish family named Grzybowski (same prefix, different suffix) and according to my research, the two families are not related (one?comes from a?Polish/Catholic branch?the other one comes from a Jewish branch).
?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Bela
?
Look forward to hearing more from you regarding whether or not we're related. I told mum about you but none of your names mean anything to her. But she did have an uncle called Staszek who fought with the Polish army in Italy and, after the war, he went to somewhere in South America she thinks. But then you did say your husband's family left Poland a long time before the war, 1902, didn't you?

As far as the home page is concerned you just click on whatever you want to view. For example on the left hand side you can click on files, then when that page comes up if you click on personal testimonies you will find the Fedorowicz family story. Also at the bottom of the page you can go into The Forgotten Odyssey pages and find loads more information. Let me know if you have any problems.

Hello Bela
?
I'm wondering if we could be related through the Fedorowicz family, my mother was Stefania Fedorowicz before she married.
?
On 22 July I wrote to you with details as follows:
Welcome to the group. I wonder if we are distantly related.
My mother's maiden name is Stefania Fedorowicz. She and her family were deported from their home in Stolpin near Lwow in 1940. Her father's name was Jan?and his parents, Michal and Anna, also lived in that area. We don't know much about the family before the war, but perhaps your family?is connected to ours in some way. Do you think this a possibility? If you are interested you can read our family story on the group's personal testimonies page.

It's great to hear that you have received my photos. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your work putting them on the net etc. It would be a great bonus if someone from our site recognised someone in the photos, but whatever happens I hope they all enjoy viewing them.

The account below certainly agrees with what my uncles have told me (they were in Stolpin, near Lwow).?The incorrect information should be deleted from the web site.

Thank you for this description of the events in Stryj. It is not only factual but colours the picture so that we can imagine what it was like there in 1939 etc.

Subject: [Kresy-Siberia] Mis-information on A Forgotten Odyssey site

On A Forgotten Odyssey site there is a Link to Kresy (item 4) from
the Newspaper-The Holocaust, what appears to be a copy of an article
in the "Daily Colonist" of Victoria, Canada, titled "Murderous Bands
of Ukrainian Terrorists Slay Polish Refugees", dated Sept.21,1939.
? In the last paragraph it states "The Ukrainians took possesion of
Lwow,Stryj and Stanislawow,reports reaching the frontier said, and
for a time set up? their own government."
I was born and lived my first 20 years in Stryj, and was there during
September 1939. On September 6th Germans bombed our railway station,
bridge and marketplace. On the 8th they bombed the same targets and
houses along my street. On the 10th, a mass of disorganised Polish
soldiers streamed through Stryj,most on foot, some in army horse
drawn carts, some in peasants carts and some on bicycles.Most of them
were armed and there were no officers visible.On Sept.12th German
motorized infantry arrived and occupied Stryj and the two army
barracks without a shot being fired.The Germans occupied Stryj until
Sept.19th when the Soviet Red Army replaced them.
Ukrainians never took possesion of Stryj or set up their own
government.
In my opinion, it is a gross mis-information and should not be
disseminated on A Forgotten Odyssey.
As far as Lwow is concerned ,Germans surrounded it on Sept.12th.
Polish Army under the command of Gen.W. Langner defended Lwow until
Sept.19th when Soviet Army replaced German Army.On Sept.23rd Gen.
Langner surrendered the city of Lwow to the Soviet Marshal Timoshenko.
I have never heard that Ukrainians took possesion of Lwow.
The only unpleasant incident occurred on Sept. 11th in the village of
Duliby, 4 km. south of Stryj where some soldiers got into argument
with the villagers over a stolen pig, and the soldiers tossed
grenades into some houses and shot at the escaping peasants.
This is what I have observed and remember.
