He was born in Lopushne (currently Ukraine) and lived as Polish until his passing. I've contacted Ternopil's archive, and they told me they have his birth certificate and a military enrollment document, but I'm not quite sure if this is enough to prove his Polish citizenship so I wanted to try to get a passport or similar document from a Polish entity.<br /> <br /> His name was Arseny Jawniuk, born in 1910.<br /> <br /> Any help will be greatly appreciated <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=78936#78936 camila.sculco Mon Apr 14, 2025 8:34 pm https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=78936#78936
