I never really believed in coincidences. My name is Wendy Danko and I am the granddaughter of Eugeniusz Dańko, who was born in Piaski (Poland), a town near Swidnik, 1922. He did on August 11 2006. One of his last wishes was to find his brothers, but he was too old and too ill to do this himself. He left me a letter from his mother , with the address of his brother Kazimierz Dańko, who was a Polish soldier in the UK during WWII. The letter was written at the end of the '40s. My grandfather had at least one more brother, and one sister. His sister is the only one who stayed in Poland during and after WWII, and my father found her in 1986 in Swidnik. She too had lost contact with her relatives. My grandfather's father was named Joseph, and I know my parents have a copy of by grandfather's birth certificate with more details. I would love to find out whether you came across any of my relatives. We might even be related ourselves...In any case I'm more than willing to share the story of my family history with you and contribute to your research. Hope to hear from you soon...
