I am looking for any information about Mr Czeslaw Jarosz b.1932-ish Poland and his wife Katar(s)zyna Jarosz (b.unknown) married in Fremantle, Western Australia. I don't know how/when they arrived in Australia & hoped someone could help. Thanks in advance. Sue

This might be him. Found this info on the National Archives of Australia website:

JAROSZ Czeslaw - Nationality: Polish - Arrived Hobart per Strathnaver 8 August 1948

Hi Adeline, well wow that's a great place for me to start. Just to let you know I live in Oz and might not respond as quickly as everyone wants me to so my apologies but I do keep an eye on my threads. I look forward to hearing more if anyone can help. thanks again. Sue :-)

Sounds possible:

He's a "tck driver" and is living with Katarzyna (a "furnshr") at 109 Thomas Street.

Might they have actually married in Australia?

If you go to the NAA website http://www.naa.gov.au/ and search for Bartuzel it yields a load of info about Katarzyna - copy of her naturalisation papers with a photo, etc.

She was born 20 April 1919 and they married 01 April 1950.

Czeslaw Jarosz was born 7 September 1924 in Barglowska, Poland. Before going to Oz he'd been at Rougham Camp, England. (Also from NAA)

I shall look, I shall, you astound me with the info. Thank you. I'll tell you why having this info has become important - my dear Christina was diagnosed with the dastardly Leukemia and she's finding she needs to know about her past family so we really do appreciate all the help everyone is giving. Jarosz is the other thread I'm asking about so my thanks to you all and I hope the info keeps on coming. Have I overstepped the remark about saying Chris is unwell, if I have then I apologise, its just that it all gets too emotional sometimes. So thank you all. Sue :-) :-) :-)

Sorry all, I need a coffee, am getting confused (again) both threads JAROSZ and PAWLAK are the ones I need to know about for Chris but my thanks remain as sincere. Look forward to hearing from you again soon. Sue (coffffffeeeeeee)
