Finding Polish family
« on: Sunday 30 August 09 21:46 BST (UK) »
My father, Edmund Paul Chyla was born in Montawy, Poland on the 27th April 1907.

I now know from documents I have been given from the Minstry of Defence in England that before he came to the UK, he was married in Poland and had four children - who would be my half-brothers and sisters.

I would love to know whether they survived the war and if they did, are they still alive or have children still alive.

How would I go about trying to trace them?

Their names are Living people:
(*)

If they are still alive, I would like to tell them that their father had a good life after the war. He settled in Scotland with my mother. I was born in 1950, and my father died in 1979.

Can anyone help?

The tracing service of The Polish Red Cross have contacted me to confirm that my half-siblings have been found alive in Poland and that we are to be helped contact each other.

This news is just so amazing - I wanted to share it.
