Hi, Im new to this but i ned to find details about my Polish grandparents, Bronislawa Szymanowicz nee Szczesniak, and Mikolaj Szymanowicz If anyone has any information on how to find these details, please let me know. I need their Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates and Mikolaj 's Polish citizenship paperwork.
Bronislawa was born in Warsaw (i think) on the 27/10/1921. She married firstly to a man whose name i dont know, and they birthed a son, Jozef on 16/12/1944. The man went missing in the war, presumed dead and Bronislawa remarried to Mikolaj Szymanowicz, sometime between 1944 and 1946. The second marriage may have been in Waltrop, Germany.
Mikolaj was born in Moscow, Russia on 19/05/1920, but was listed as Polish on the Australian naturalisation paperwork in1959 when he was naturalised. I must prove he was Polish.
My dad, Andrej Szymanowicz, was born to them in Haltern stadt, Germany, on the 16/4/1946, due to ww2 My grandparents were in forced labour camps, Mikolai in a mine in Germany. My grandparents were shipped to Australia as part of the displaced persons scheme as international refugees on the 14/10/49 aboard a ship, Nelly, docking in Melbourne. They had another son, John.
Mikolaj died within the last 15 years, i am unsure of when. Bronislawa died on 1/12/2011.
I need this paperwork and literally any advice would be greatly appreciated, my family dont like to discss the war, and i dont blame them, but I need my polish passport in order to stay with my partner.
Thankyou to anyone who takes the time to read this and help, Kim Szymanowicz.
