Hello,

Through the assistance of the Kresy Siberia group, I have been fortunate in
being on a wonderful journey of discovery - finding out about my Polish
heritage, including meeting up with family members (aunts and cousins) living
right here in New Zealand. I now wish to travel over to Lithuania and Belarus in
June this year in in order to visit my father's birthplace.

The place my father is from is the small village of Radizule which is located in
the province of Hrodzyenskaya Voblasts' in Belarus. We are thinking of making
Vilnius our main stop off as this is the nearest main city.

I would be grateful of anyone has an travel advice for me, as it is proving
somewhat challenging for the travel companies I have been in contact with to
even locate the place!

Has anyone got any advice on how to find a car with driver? Unfortunately,
neither my partner or I speak any Polish or Russian, and so we will require
someone who can speak English.

I am hoping to also try to locate the church and cemetery in Radizule. I am not
sure if it even exists.

Any advice on accommodation also close to Radizule would also be appreciated.

Regards,

Tracey Ashworth
Auckland, New Zealand

Hi Rys,

Thanks for your info.  I will contact CAW this week. Lenarda's reply with regard
to Zoludek is really informative and has given me food for thought (as if I do
not have enough already !)

Dear Anne,

thank you very much for this beautiful poem in these special days. It's giving emotions of all 2nd and 3rd generationers. Do you have its' translation into Polish ?

Hello there Stan,

I can understand your concern! The place we wish to travel to is very tiny -
virtually unpopulated, and is located in the Wilno area - now Belarus. The
nearest main city happens to be Vilnius in Lithuania - Radizule is 50 km away
across the border to the East of Vilnius.

My cousin Mary-Anne Morgan visited Radizule four years ago, and we have google
map coordinates plus Mary-Anne's handwritten map. I now wish to make the same
trip and have been advised that we are best to hire a driver and car as
obviously no buses are available, and as you quite rightly point out, the
Belarussian authoriies can be a bit sticky!

We plan to base our stay from Vilnius in Lithuania, and will probably only need
to be in Belarus for a day.

Regards,

Tracey Ashworth
Auckland, NZ

Dear Group
Please welcome new member Richard. His request for details was posted earlier
this month as Lenarda  will remember.  He is trying to organise a trip for his
father,back to Poland, Siberia and Iran. His father is now 80 and wishes to
travel back there before his health will no longer allow such a trip. He was one
of the Pahiatua children.
However, finding information about where they could travel in Siberia is proving
more difficult. His father believes they were located somewhere a little North
of Irkutsk, near Lake Baikal, but that is about all the information he is clear
on.
Richard has read   on the topic, but there is nothing in those books that
narrows down the location the family were in.
Richard asks has for help and information from anyone who has tried to make
similar journeys.
His father came from a village called Lazy, somewhere near Bialystok .
The family members deported included;
Josef Zajkowski (father)
Marianna Zajkowski (mother)
Fabian Zajkowski (half brother)
Eugeniusz Zajkowski (Richard's father)
Another brother
A sister
A baby
Baby and sister died in Siberia
Other brother died in either Siberia or on way to Iran
Marianna (mother) died and buried in Teheran
Jozef and Fabian joined Eugeniusz in Wellington after the war, having fought in
North Africa,  and Monte Cassino.
I wish you every success in your searches Richard and hope that some of our
members will be able to help.

Welcome Richard, Siberia is not my research field, but I did find newspaper
Siberian Times with article ROAD OF BONES, which is about two men who
actually did go to Siberia and their documented journey could be of
assistance.

Group, have a look through this Newspaper, with many interesting articles,
including THE ROAD OF BONES, THE KINGDOM OF COLD, all written in very good
English.

Hi! I would like to share some information on my Polish family. My grandfather
Tadeusz Buczak (1922-2004) was sent to Siberia in 1939 and forced to cut down
trees to make ox plows. In 1942 he was released and joined the British army in
Palestine where he met my grandmother. I would be interested to know which
regiment he served in as he was stationed in Scotland but also saw action in
North Africa and Normandy.
His father was called Michal (born sometime in the late 19th century: grandad
said 1884). He lived in eastern Poland and joined the Austrian army during World
War I. He was a soldier in 1939 and disappeared when the Russians invaded,
although his wife Maria Lysak (possibly of Ukrainian descent) survived the war
and died in the 1960s. From what I've read, Lysak is a Jewish name, and although
my grandad was a Christian he knew a few Yiddish words. I don't know if my great
grandfather Michal Buczak was killed in the invasion or died later in Siberia,
although the owner of this website has records of a Private Michal Buczak (born
1897) dying in Uzbekistan in 1942.

That's interesting Stanislaw. My grandfather lived in eastern Poland before the
war, so it's possible his father came from what is now Ukraine. It's a pity I
don't know the names of his parents.

army in Palestine where he met my grandmother. I would be interested to know
which regiment he served in as he was stationed in Scotland but also saw action
in North Africa and Normandy.

during World War I. He was a soldier in 1939 and disappeared when the Russians
invaded, although his wife Maria Lysak (possibly of Ukrainian descent) survived
the war and died in the 1960s. From what I've read, Lysak is a Jewish name, and
although my grandad was a Christian he knew a few Yiddish words. I don't know if
my great grandfather Michal Buczak was killed in the invasion or died later in
Siberia, although the owner of this website has records of a Private Michal
Buczak (born 1897) dying in Uzbekistan in 1942.

Try MOD in UK.  My Father joined Polish Army in Tashkent and was discharged in
Iran due to health issues.  I contacted MOD and was surprised with what I
