Tracing Mieczyslaw Chuldzinski or Mieczyslaw Wnuk

Guest	Mar 19, 06, 12:01 / #
I am trying to trace a relative. He may have imigtarted to the USA after World War II His name is either Mieczyslaw (Mietek) Wnuk or Mieczyslaw (Mietek) Chuldzinski and during the war , in 1944, he was based at, or visited, Thame Park, Oxfordshire, England ( this was a centre for the training of Special Operations personnel in the defeat of Hitler). He was born in 1917 or 1918 and may have had a least one brother named Wlodzimierz who was killed in the war. Any information would be appreciated. Terry England

Mieczyslaw M. Wnuk is my father, born in Zakopane Poland (then Austria Hungary)in 1917. He was a well known Polish skier in the late 1930s, and served in the French and British Armies in WWII. He had a brother ,Wlodzimierz, who survived 2 years in Sachenhausen and Mauthausen concentration camps and ultimately survived the war to be come a very well known Polish writer. He died of a heart attack in the 1980's. My father is still alive, at 89 years old. The Wnuk side of our family comes from Lvov, now in the Ukraine, while my grandmother's family name was Krzeptowski. They came from Zakopane. I have never come across the name Chuldzinski in any of our family records, which are fairly extensive on the Krzeptowski side. A. Wnuk USA

Thank you Andrew for replying to this site. It was through the artical by Julian Hoseason that I came across your father. He has the same nick name of Mietek as mine and also had a brother with the same name ie Wlodzimierz, who unfortunately died during WWII. It was because of these similarities that I was interested in your father, who I understand is alive and well in New Jersey USA and I wish both you and your family all good health for the future. I apologise if my interest in your father, while I'm searching for mine ( Mieczyslaw Mietek Chuldzinski, if it has caused you any concern. YOurs sincerely Terry Mietek Timms

No problem at all. Just hoped I could help clarify things for you. You never know what you can find, expecially with how Polish families were scattered over the world following WWII. For example, Mr. Hoseason is my 2nd cousin, on my father's side, whom I had never met or communicated with until 2 years ago. I found him my accident by replying to his website, which I found by doing a web search on a family name. I found another long lost 2nd cousin in Brussels in similar fashion Good hunting! A. Wnuk

Dear Andrew Just let you know that I now find that my father Mieczyslaw Chludzinski was a corporal and paratrooper in WWII with Para Badge Number 3336. Kind regards Terry Mietek Timms

That's very interesting. Have you found anything more on him? If you do a search on the name Chludzinski using the site www:whitepages.com in the USA you only find one, first name Phillip, living in Michigan. Many Poles moved to Canada and Australia after WWII. So you might check in those countries. Those that had served in foreign armies on the Allied side met uncertain fates at the hands of the communists if they returned to Poland. A. Wnuk

Ignore that last message. When I did the first search I used the name "Chuldzinski" (as you spelled in the header above), I got only one name. If you use the name "Chludzinski" as spelled in your last message, there are 115 hits in the USA. AW
