Hi
Anyone here any good at researching Polish evacuees to the UK during WW2?
I've got a family I'm trying to find pre-evacuation in the above village before 1944
Stanislaw Hawrylewicz born 25 Sept 1926 Poland died Eyemouth 2018
I'd love to know who his parents were and if he had any brothers & sisters???
His mother's maiden name is MISKOW
Thanks

Hi ,
Did Stanislaw marry in 1977 to Anne Jardine, or could this be a son of his?
Found a marriage notice in the papers but perhaps too late a marriage?

Apologies, wrong marriage, two Annies!.
He seems to have marries Annie Crombie in St Giles 1950.( Scotlands People)
If you purchase the marriage certificate it should give Stan's father's name.

Just in case you don´t have this.

If catholic, family search has some records up to 1890 but they would have to be viewed at a family history centre

1912 directory
Second column
Lubien Wielki, Hawrylewicz Grzegorz
The little symbol means post office, so I assume he was the post master.

Hey thanks for all the help so far?
I got the records but am not sure who Boleslaw is? is he an older brother?
Gregorsz??? Possibly the father??
I have no idea....
-
Boleslaw ref Arolsen archives, not necessarily related, seems to come from a different town.
Grzegorz in the Arolsen record ( parents Grzegorz & Anastasia) probably the son of the one in the directory. May be related to Stanislaw. Scottish marriage record should give father's details as suggested previously.
Although Czechia is more my area of research I have found previously that there is very little online for Poland currently. I checked the Polish archives but Wielki Lubien records are not digitised. You may need to employ a researcher to bridge the gap between what is available at familysearch and 1926.

Confusingly there are 2 places with similar names.
The man in the Arolsen archives, Grzegorz, seems to come from Lubien Wielki (old Polish name) near city of Lwow/Lviv, now the Ukrainian village of Velykyi Liubin
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velykyi_Liubin
There is also Wielki Lubień in north central Poland in Kuyavia-Pomerania
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wielki_Lubie%C5%84
Some of the records for Velykyi Liubin are on familysearch to view online.

Being listed as a polish victim of persecution, Stanislaw’s death (1998) seems to be different from the OP’s original description (2018).
And then after all of that, the YOD turns out to to be 2013: “ILMO Stan Hawrylewicz d. 29.6.2013 aged 87y” (https://billiongraves.com/grave/Stan-Hawrylewicz/17127640 )
Surname: HAWRYLEWICZ
Name: STANISŁAW
father's name: JÓZEF
mother's name: MARIA
date of birth: 1924-10-02
place of birth: LUBIEŃ
date of death: 1998-07-09 (could this date be for something else?)

Type of forced labor: employed in industry

“Fundacja Polsko-Niemieckie Pojednanie w Warszawie” contains “Documentation of people, former prisoners of concentration camps and forced laborers of the Third Reich, applying for payment of financial benefits from the German fund and people applying for humanitarian and social assistance”. This foundation was established in 1991. It is mentioned as follows, but there are no online scans available yet: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/zespol/-/zespol/51737
More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Polish-German_Reconciliation
Update: I realised that this guy has a different DOB as well, so most likely a second persecuted person with the same name from the same place ... Hmmmm!
FYI only
I believe that the following town is the correct Lubien, as the Hawrylewicz surname seems to be mainly concentrated in Ukraine:
Lubien Wielki, Galicia, Austria;
later Lubien Wielki (Gródek Jagielloński), Lwów, Poland;
now Velykyy Lyubin, L'viv, Ukraine.
-
I agree, most likely to be the Ukrainian village.
There is also a Lubień without any description such as Greater/Big (meaning of Великий/Velykyy) located south of Krakow.

Stanislaw was my Grandad, his dad was called Bazyli and his mother called Katerzyna, he had an older brother who died young and a couple of younger brothers and a younger sister.
Can I ask who you are please.
