Hi, I'm looking for some information on the crew of the ORP B³yskawica, during WWII. My grandfather claims to have been part of the crew, last name being Czerwiñski. I'm wondering where one could find information about this. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

ORP,

You don't say where you are located.

Go to the (British) national archive website. There are twenty-five records concerning Blykawica. You may have to pay to open the files.

If you are in the UK... it might be possible to access and search the records at Kew. But it could be a wasted jouney.

As the ship served and saw action as part of a British contingent... you might be better off at a British based WWII website. The experts there should be able to give you links to get you started.

Sorry about that, I live in Canada. I'll look into those archives though, thanks for the help. Any more research tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I am ORP, back from the dead.

I'm wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of any kind of Czerwinski / Mierzwinska marrying?

This has been very difficult to dig up, and I don't think I will ever get anywhere with it, as my Polish-born grandfather - Jan Czerwinski
His parents were both orphans.

I don't know his father's name, though his mother was Weronika Mierzwinska, I'm pretty sure. Ugh, I don't know how you people can help, but maybe you have ways! This is very interesting to me, and I really hope I can learn more about my family. Thanks a lot!

Czerwinski / Mierzwinska


these names appear at : familysearch. the LDS website.

There are a couple of entries for a Jan Czerwinski. You don't give dates so I have no idea, if any of them are yours.

anyway, familysearch is simple to use and free.
