Hi,
My cousin Shellie, who is an active member of Polish Origins sent me a link to your post.
I'm living in France and may help you.
What group are you talking about? In which area of France did your fahter fight?
Do you want me to translate the docs you have if they are written in french.
Regards
Andre
