Hello, I would be most grateful if anyone could help trace my family history. My dad's side of the family is 100% polish. When I grew up my parents told me that my grandparents were both prisoners during WWII. My Dad and his sister were born shortly after the war and then they all moved to USA in 1952. When I went to Washington D.C. this summer I could not find any records of my grandparents being prisoners. I have no idea if I have any distant relatives in Poland or anywhere else in the world. I have a very rare last name in the USA, I have never found someone with the same last name. My last name is Czugala. My Grandmother's last name was Bukowski. My Grandfather did have a brother, but my Dad does not know anything about him. My Dad also does not know of anything about my Grandmother's side of family. If anyone could help find any information (family tree, WWII history), I would be so thankful.

Thank you!

Czugala


Czugała would be more likely.

I only see 2 Czugala surnames listed in the Social Security Death Index. Pete and Helena


Your grandfather's surname is in the database here:

www.straty.pl

Click on "Search in the database" and enter Czugała on the first line of the search

There is a Piotr (Peter in english) listed in the search results with the same birthdate as the Pete in the Social Security Death Index.

Yes, Piotr & Helena were my grandparents.

The straty.pl website is amazing, I am going to write down as much info as possible.

Piotr had a sister Anna (that we know of), and his parents were Jan & Teresa (unsure of surname). Helena's surname before marriage was Bukowski, and had brothers Joseph and Merion. Her parents were Jan & Anna (unsure of surname).
