The only other thing he told me was he had a brother Anton who lived in Pennsylvania, thats all i knew from his side, mum's maiden name was Franziska Zofia Bienkowska who when was a young girl during the war was dragged out into the street along with her mum, dad, gran and others and lined up to be shot by the nazis when they came searching for a young Jewish boy who they did actually hide in a disused well, the nazis never did find the boy which in turn allowed me and my brother and sister to be born, I however was born in Derby 1970 on Grey St about halfway up on the right

Please don't Swale
I made absolutely no comment on you StensonRam it was others spurious claims I was referring to, I have no reason to doubt anything you have said and have never made a personal or critical comment about you.
