Looking for information on my Grand Father.
He was born in Poland but fled during WWI to Canada, ending up in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.
Apparently almost all of his immediate family members were killed by the Nazi's and only he survived. While alive he never spoke of him family. Any information on his parents or siblings would be helpful.

I have recently subscribed to Ancestry, so I am rather new to this.
My father's family, also Tom, came from Warsaw, which was part of Russia. They must have come over to the UK around 1890 and they obtained UK citizenship in 1896.
My grandfather was born in Warsaw in 1880 and I have managed to track members of a few generations of his family.Feel free to look at my family tree.
If Edward was born in Warsaw then there may be a link.
I don't know whether you have done any research on the following site http://www.jewishgen.org/ as I have managed to track some useful information.
The problem that I am encountering is that there can be different variations of name ie Jewish spelling which makes things difficult.
Let me know how you get on as I am keen to find out whether there are any other Toms around.
All the best
David Tom

My grandfather was born or at least lived in malinowka Poland near Lublin Chelm before immigrating with almost 20 other family members in a 2 year period. The email you posted didn't work for me here so I'm posting to ancestry. I can send you a PDF on this family and see if there is a connection. I great great grandfather may have been from Warsaw and immigrated years before the rest if the family and may have sponsored them all. Trying to connect the dots.
