I can't believe there are no replies to the message I posted in March! Where are the Zychs'? It's not a common surname. My father stood at the border of Poland at the end of WW2- a weary soldier with a new wife and a son he hadn't seen back in Rhode Island. He was afraid to go into Poland to try and find his mother, Barbara Piecuch(sp?) and sister, Francesca -unknown married name. He had already seen so much devestation in Europe and Aushwitz was located not far from Cracow and Tarnow- the borders of the Carpithian mountains where his town was. My fathers' father was Peter Zych and he was killed in WW1 in the Polish air force- I imagine one balsa wood glider...As Ben Stein said in Ferris Buellers' Day Off... Anyone? Anyone?
