The members of the Pecynowicz family from Poland were all Gniazdowiczs, but they
changed their surname, most likely in the late nineteenth century. Leo
emigrated from Gdansk, Poland in Oct 1938, went to London, boarded a ship there on 19
Nov 1938, arriving in Melbourne, Australia on 26 Dec 1938. He met his
wife, Esther Segal (nee Surgel) from Mlawa there, and married her in
Melbourne in 1940. |
