Hi. I'm replying in regards to your query about the Nurek family who were also from
Welnin. My mother grew up there and we frequently visited in my childhood years. I came to
Canada when I was five (21 years ago). My great, great grandparents from my mother's
side were Wojciech and Agnieska Nurek and they had 4 children: Maria, Agnieska, Julia, and
Kazimierz. Maria had a child out of wedlock (father unknown) and so her son also had the
name Nurek. His first name was Fortulian, Telek for short. He married Janina Kobos and had
3 kids Alicja, Mirka, and Artur. We are still quite close to this family as they reside
very close to where my grandmother used to live. Telek died some years ago and his wife
and 2 of the children still live in Welnin. (1 moved out to the city Wroclaw). All are
unmarried so still have the name Nurek. I'm not sure about Agnieszka's family and
Kazimierz married and had 2 sons as far as we know. One was also named Kazimierz and the
other we don't know. Jul!
ia was my great grandmother and married Augustyn Grabda. They had 3 daughters: My
grandmother Irena, Nina, and Ola. As for the Walasek and Zajac family, my mom says there
were lots of them and a Zajac family still lives in Welnin. Augustyn Grabda's sister
Magdalena married a Stanislaw Walasek and had 2 sons: Henryk and Marian. Marian died
shortly after the war as a child and Heryk married and had 1 daughter. He still lives in
Welnin where my grandmother's family originally lived. (Now next door). I know this
reply is long but I hope it will help.
