Does anyone know the whereabouts of Richard Kurek or his sister, Zofia? They arrived in Yallourn from Europe post war and both attended Yallourn High School - commencing around 1958.
Yes!!! I do, they are my uncle Rick, who is now living in South Australia and my mother Sophia Helen Harman (Kurek). We spent our childhood in Coogee Sydney where my mother was a nurse and met John Harman of Waverly they married 67 at Edgecliffe, in 1978 we moved to Wyoming, Gosford and lived 18 happy years there. Then to WArwick QLD from 95 on. Sophia had 4 children, myself Geraldine, my sister Danielle my brother andrew and the youngest Emma. Mum and dad have sadly both now passed, as did my Babcia (polish Grandmother, mums mum) Mum passed 15th Feb 2002 and is buried in Warwick Lawn cemetary QLD right near her beloved husband John who passed october 2010. Sophia has many grandchildren and a great granchild now, two of which are my beautiful boy and girl (she is 2 noq and she is named for mum, Sophia Rose) Mums brother Rick, Sister celina, and sister barbara are all still alive and all have children and partners of their own. Celina is in Vic, Rick in SA nad Brabara in sydney. Mum went by Sophia which is the English translation of Zofia.
