subject Zygmunt Stohr

Hello,
I am trying to find information on my late Grandfather - Zygmunt Stohr.
He was born in Stryj, Poland in 1919 and later moved with his parents to Lvov.
In World War 2, he joined the Polish Army and ended up in Scotland.
He met and married my Grandmother, Margaret Lawrence in 1942.
They later moved to Australia.

If anybody knows anything about Zygmunt Stohr, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Dale Stohr

subject Ancestral Roots in Lviv

Hello,
I ran across your website, and I am hoping you can post this.
I am seeking any information pertaining to my family's roots in Austria-Hungary, as it was then known. My father's family (mother's side) is from Lviv. The family name is Weinstock. His mother was born Toby Weinstock, but also went by the name Tillie, born around 1899 pr 1900. Her father worked as a shochet. There were 4 or 5 children. One brother was named Dave or Davey. One of the sisters died from tuberculosis. The family was originally denied admittance at Elllis Island due to this child's illness. They emigrated to the U.S. around 1902 or 1903.
I believe my father's father's family also hails from the area. Their name was Hornholz or Hornholtz, but the name was changed to Cohen at Ellis Island.
Many thanks,
Diane
