Hi,
I am looking for any information on my grandfather "Boleslaw Wysocki" he was born in 1920 in Świskowszczyzna to "Kazimierz and Zofia" nee Tomaszek, And I think he might have a sister called "Olga"
Also where is Świskowszczyzna exactly? can any one point it out to me on a map,
I am afraid I can not speak or read Polish, My grandfather settled in Wales after the war and didn't speak about the past, and we knew nothing about his former life,He died in 2001.
I've recently acquired his war record and that has lead me on this exciting path discovering my ancestry and especially the fact my grandfather could of had a sister we were unaware of.

I would be very grateful for any information
Many Thanks in advance Julian Wysockiответить

Take a look at www.kami.net.pl/kresy then type in *wiskowszczyzna" (use the asterisk as a wildcard to replace the S) and you'll see it on the map. ответить

thanks again for your timeответить

Folwark Świskowszczyzna is shown on the Russian military map from the end of XIX century.
On the Polish map from 1930th it is not shown as folwark, but the village with the same name appeared in 1 km from it. Perhaps, the land of the forlwark was sold and transferred to the colonists.
Coordinates of the folwark are: 53. 076127, 26. 290096
There is a farm field today at the place of former folwark. ответить

Czy w Swiskowszczyźnie przed 1924 mieszkali Kiernożyccy?
