Want birth record for Ludwick Koza

[fourcarsons]

I know my Grandfathers name was Ludwick Koza. He had 4 brothers and  2 sisters. He lived somewhere in Poland with his parents when WWII broke out. His dads name was Joseph and moms name was Mary. His dad was a carpenter. He and his 4 brothers joined the polish military and all changed their last names to protect the family. His sisters and parents stayed in Poland. I know 1 brother was killed in the war but I do not know what other brothers names changed too but do know after war they all came to US. I can do find any info on his family. No Birth certificates or anything. How can I find these.

Try the Polish Embassy, they can give you an address for birth records

Did he get American citizenship - details from that?

Have you got his date of birth or date of death?

Just for information, fourcarsons has posted here, so Ludwick married in Hereford before moving to USA.

The parents names are the English spellings.

Joseph is Józef in Polish (also Józek, Józefek, Józio, Ziutek)
Mary is Maria in Polish (also Marysia, Marynia, Maryś)

If your grandfather was based in the UK whilst serving in the Polish military in WW2, the following website has contact details for tracing records:

Thanks for  the help. Yes he did get American Citizenship when he came over. I am the one that has the tree linked so that isnt very helpful but thanks. I am trying verify what part of Poland he is from so I can try and get info from ancestry. What is in my tree is from letters he wrote to me and with names and dates he could remember of his family members but I dont really trust it too much since his memory was going.

can you estimate what year Jozef and Maria married - and could Mary be Marianna ?   found 3 marriages
Jozef Koza to Marianna Bober in Lublin , Lubelskie, Poland -
Jozef Koza to Marianna Wieleba in Wysokie , Lubelskie , Poland
Jozef Koza to Wiktoria Lopotek in Pulawy , Lubelskie ,Poland

so it does look like Mary is Marianna in Polish - and the Koza family look to be in Lubelskie
