    Good morning, I am looking for the birth certificates of my great-grandfather and/or his siblings in order to find their mother's name. They were the children of Josef Smieskol, born 16 February 1895 year in Siemianowice, deceased 20 November 1946 in Katowice. He was the son of Anton Smieskol and Katharina Zmarzła.
    His children are:
    – Ruta Zmiesko, born 30.12.1914
    – Guidon Zmieskol, born 29 June 1918 in Rydułtowy near Rybnik
    – Egon/Eugen Zmieskol, born 24 November 1919 in Krzyżkowice
    – Urszula Zmieskol
    – Hubert Zmieskol
    Their mother came from Palestine, from where she later moved to Germany. Her maiden name is most likely Czerwińska. She married Josef around. 1913 and they lived near Rybnik, most likely in Rydułtowy, from where they then moved to Świętochłowice.

    Books from the Civil Registry Office in Rydułtowy (reference no 14/412/0) are located in branch of the State Archives in Cieszyn
    These are birth records for years 1895 – 1917, Marriage books from years 1895 – 1937, Death books from years 1895 – 1942. – so you can try to order a query regarding. birth certificate of Ruta Zmieskol and marriage certificate of Josef Zmieskol with ??? Czerwińska – maybe around 1913-1914 year, the Zmieskol family settled in Rydułtowy…?

    Birth of 1918 year is most likely still in Registry Office in Rydułtowy, it is worth asking the Office about the possibility of issuing a photocopy of Guidon Zmieskola's birth certificate (cost PLN 5/page). Phone number 32 453 75 20, e-mail usc@urzad.rydultowy.pl

    An alternative way to determine the data of the great-grandfather's mother is to apply for a copy of Guidon Zmieskol's death certificate or his marriage certificate – there will also be information about parents.
