Konopka Family from Poland to Australia - Help Please
Hi evryone
I hope someone will be able to help me. I am looking for any of my relatives, I do not know much about the family history except for little bits, so here goes.........
My fathers name was Jan Konopka Born 11-11-1924 or there abouts. Born in Sokolow, Poland. I believe he had a sister but died very young. I do not know his father's or mother's names but I think his father had brothers. My father was captured by the Germans very early on in world war 2. He remained in a concentration camp during the war until the camp was liberated by the american army. I also believe he moved to Hamburg Germany after the war where he met and married my mother, Brunhilde Giel. They had a daughter, Christina in Germany. They migrated to Australia, would have been late 1940's or early 1950's. They arrived in Melbourne, Australia then were shipped out the a town, Bonegilla in Victoria, Australia. Eventually they moved to Adelaide, South Australia where the had 2 sons, Bernard and Jeffrey. Thats about all I know and I hope soneone maybe able to help me find any relatives. Thanks
