Looking for the origins of my Polish great mother

[JFMrx]

Hello All,

I'm currently looking to find back the origins and family of my great mother that was deported in a labor camp in Germany during the 2nd world war. After the war she moved to Belgium with my grand father and she never had news about his family.

This is the info I have :
Her name : Sofia / Sofja Kmetyk
She was born on 03/08/1918 in Jureczkowa.
Her father was Andreas / Andrej Kmetyk
Her mother : Angela /Aniela KMETYK (born with the name JAWORSKA)
She add 3 brothers (2 older and 1 younger).

I'd like to get your advise to help me to found some information about my polish origins.

Thank you all for your help.

Hello JFMrx,

It’s so good to hear from you!

We have also been looking for the family of Sofia (Sofja) Kmetyk. We know the same details about her as you do.

Sofia’s mother, Angela (Aniela) Kmetyk (born Jaworska), is buried in Poland, in the village of Mieszewo, in the Zachodniopomorskie province:

Sofia’s oldest brother, my great-grandfather Michał Kmetyk, is also buried in Mieszewo, Poland:
https://wegorzyno.grobonet.com/grobonet ... le&idg=823

My entire family descends from Michał Kmetyk (Sofia’s brother), and we all live nearby. Daughter of Michał Kmetyk ( my grandmother ) has been looking for Sofia's relatives for very long line with no results.

Another brother of Sofia, Jan Kmetyk, is buried in the city of Węgorzyno, Zachodniopomorskie province, Poland, alongside his wife, Maria Kmetyk.

Sofia’s brother Józek Kmetyk is buried in Pittsburgh, USA.

Sofia had one more brother, the fourth one (Andrej Kmetyk) , who lived in Skeliwka, Ukraine. Unfortunately, we have no further information about him.

As for Sofia’s father, also Andreas (Andrej) Kmetyk, he was buried in Economy, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, USA, alongside his second wife:

From what we know, he had a daughter in the USA named Phyllis Stephanie Kmetyk. We don’t have any information about other relatives.

please could you send me some more details about you and your relatives?


Best regards,
Paweł
