Hello
Not sure how this will work but here we go. I am looking for anyone who may have information about my father, his name was JAN SKIBICKI and he was stationed at SMITHIES camp in Barnsley South Yorkshire. He met and married my Mum CONNIE MOSS and had three children, Janet, Carol and David (that's me!). He was friends with Henry Antoniak and Alan Machoz who were at the Cannon Hall Camp also near Barnsley. Any information about Jan's journey to England and in particular his origins/family/relatives in Poland would be greatly appreciated. This is purely an emotional journey for myself, trying to piece back a part of my heritage which I have for too long neglected. Unfortunately Jan died in 1992 after a second marriage to a Margory Gledhill and she I believe had children from a previous marriage but none with Jan. My Dad was often referred to as a Yorkshire Pole because of his willingness to integrate into the community. He worked as a coal-miner in the Barnsley area until his retirement.
