Hi
I am trying to trace my late fathers family. He was born in Poland in a village called rudnyk. He was born in 1922 and his mothers name was Maria. He came to England during the was and served in the british navy, I also know that his and his family's surname was changed around this time. The surname we have now is Mikolajec but a letter that came mant years ago was addressed to Edward Mikolajetz so I am not sure if this is the original spelling. I have been searching everywhere but keep hitting brick walls. If anybody can give me any hints how to proceed, I would truly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Rudnik is a apparently village in the Opole region (first locate Katowice in the south, then go west a little to find Opole)
There is a parish in Rudnik
http://www.diecezja.opole.pl/parafie/?numer=103&sekcja=parafie_search

You have the address and the phone number there. They also say that a priest called Miko 2;ajec was born there, so there may be more of the family still living there

so you mean "Charzanow" or "Chrzanow"? either way i don't think it's a big city; i suppose between 10K-50K. If you could specify the exact name it would be easier for me to look up more information.

I lived up the block from a family named Mikolajec in Cohoes, New York. The father's name was Stephen. He is now deceased, but they had a son of the same name.

My next door neighbor years ago was Helen Mikolaicik. Nicest person you ever met. Like a grandmother to me. I still hear from some of her family. We were from Nanticoke, Pennsylvania.
