Hello Lisa-Marie,
I was just doing some research on my own Ignaczak family when your post came up. My grandmother was Helena Ignaczak (1913-1995) and her dad was Szczepan (I am not sure when he was born but he passed in the late 1940's). They lived on a farm outside of Warsaw, Poland. My grandmother moved to Warsaw when she was 13 to work as a domestic and eventually became a shopkeeper.
I know a lot of my grandmother's immediate family (13 children from 2 marriages) but am curious if Great-grandfather Szczepan had any siblings. The name Szczepan is not very common. What year was your grandfather born in? Could there had been a relationship between your and my grandparents? Could your grandpa Szczepan be a first cousin to my grandmother?
Cheers,
