hi there my grandfather Roch Valintine Stasiorowski b1916 came to England sometime during ww2 after spending sometime in a prisoner of war camp. I am able to research his death and marriage to my grandmother (as they both happened in england) unfortunately i cannot find any information on his birth or about his parents. Is it true that you can not access polish files such as these online? just feel as if i'm banging my head against a wall....btw if anyone is related please feel free to contact me as i will hapily assist with what i know to help with own family trees :) x

roch: seems german in origin.
valentine: could be walenty.
you need to know the town, village these folks came from. otherwise getting hold of records becomes very difficult.
