I am looking for a person born with the First Name, 'Robert' and with the Surname, 'Matys'. He was born sometime around the 1920s to Stanley and Florence Matys. He died as a baby.
He is buried in a Grave with his parents and Grandparents:
-
Hello, what country would this be in?
I'd guess somewhere in Eastern Europe, but just wanted to double check. :)
-
I think I've found the family, are they Polish?
There's a Stanley Matys born 1897 in Bialystok and died in 1951.
His wife was named as Florence ''Meller''? 1894-1978
2 children: Florence Matys born in 1922 and June Matys born in 1929.
No sign of Robert Matys yet, I'll keep looking.
Do you want any information on Stanley and Florence?
If so these are Stanley's parents and siblings I think:
Stanley's parents: Henryk Matys 1868-1927
Felicja Szreder 1871-1967
Stanley's siblings: Pauline Matys 1894-
Felicja Matys 1901-
(sorry looks like Florence Meller was born in the USA, so maybe not Polish, my mistake)
-
From the photograph, from Find A Grave, then the location is New Jersey, USA.
-
Yes, I think their children were born in New Jersey too.
I'll look for Robert born in New Jersey
-
There's a Robert Matys that was born on the 4th of July 1931 and died on the 5th of July 1931 but it was in New York so probably not him. ???
Although I think Stanley Matys was living in New York in 1915, so maybe a possibility?
-
Wondering if maybe ''Baby Robert'' could have been Fred and Louisa Mellers son, rather than Stanley and Florence's? Fred and Louisa had a son called Robert, not sure when he died but he could've died as a baby? Or do you know for sure that it's Stanley and Florence's son
Just an idea :)

No reply from the OP. No answers to any questions.
The OP has “form” of not retuning to his threads. Perhaps consider if you want to spend your valuable time trying to help this person as you’re unlikely to get anything in return.

Interesting to note that according to the records, he was last active on 11th December this year. So one has to assume that he did read the responses but for whatever reason, chose not to make any reply.

Disappointing for any helpers to be ignored. Bad form. :(

He was reported to mods previously I think. I think it is worthy of a good look at his/her posting practices that only Mods can do.
I have asked Mods if they can do this.
Merry Christmas all. Happy sleuthing for the future. :)

Well, I have to add here...
It is far from rare occurrence.
I couldn't count the number of times I and others have carried out good and extensive research after a single query/post only to receive complete silence for a response.
I call them the 'post and run group ' and keep a list so I don't buy in too fast if there is another query from them
I have even on occasion PMed them saying 'hey there is information on your recent post"
Usually, further silence follows!
I would settle for just a one word response. "Thanks"
