Famous relatives

(context) My father, Stanley Dunin, was a war orphan. Both of his parents were killed in Poland in September 1939 during the German invasion. Other family was arrested and sent to Auschwitz. My father and his sisters (all under the age of 6) were able to survive only through the frantic assistance of friends and relatives throughout Europe and North America. The children finally made their way to the United States with the assistance of Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, and grew up to have families of their own. But because of the chaos of the war, much of our family history was lost. One of my projects has been to try and piece together the bits and pieces of my family genealogy and heritage. Wikipedia has been a good source for this, as I have been learning about some of my more famous relatives, especially from the Polish szlachta (noble/gentility) classes. This section provides links to those relatives who are notable enough to have their own articles.

If you have additional information on any of these individuals, even if it's unreferenced, I am very interested in hearing about it!

Webmistress

I maintain several popular websites (as of mid-2006, my elonka.com site has generated over 2 million page views). Most of the traffic is generated by the following sections:

I did not create these, but I did substantially expand or rewrite them:
