ZOFIA'S STORY:
Who am I?
All the information about me came from my adopted uncle ( Zbigniew Rog) who knew my biological parents.
To protect me, he never disclosed my real name. It is known that my uncle belonged to the same organisation as my biological parents, but which one?
My parents were taken to the Warsaw Ghetto and shot.
I have no knowledge how I, a one year old baby, was smuggled out of the ghetto and left in the stairway of a building on number 1 Kopnieskiej Street in Warsaw. I was found by the janitor Mrs. Wladyslawa Czubala and given to an orphanage named Ks. G. P. Baudouina.
The only identifying mark was attached to my wrist - a ribbon with a note: "Zofia Jadwiga born Feb 17th 1942 in Warszawa. Never give any information about the child."
Lately when I contacted this orphanage, I found out that my new family name was Wrzesinska and it was written with a pencil. That is how they registered Jewish children in order to quickly erase their names in case of a Gestapo control.
My only hope for finding out my real identity, is if anybody recognizes my face or any of the persons who are mentioned above.
Please help me.
RESEARCH JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 2005
DNA test
Reading about DNA tests for use in genealogy at the website of Family Tree DNA http://www.ftdna.com one wonders how this could help a person like Zofia.
If she takes a Maternal DNA test ( costs 129 US dollars in September 2005) her DNA would become part of the database and in case any of her maternal relatives also submit their DNA, there would be the possibility of researching that other person's family tree, hoping to find candidates in their family tree who might be Zofia's mother.
Much research inarchives would of course be needed at that point.
Is this the way one should look at this? Would the price be worth it for Zofia? That is up to her to decide.
