Do not have an answer to your question about USC records.
I do have some sites for you to look over. May I also suggest you post on Poland's Unknown board. Have you tried FACEBOOK? That is where you would find the "young generation" who can help you.
You could send a short letter, a copy of the envelope from Poland to the address that you have. Do include your e-mail address. One never know what might come back. All you have to loose is the air mail postage.
