Poland by Michener my heritage

While reading about Poland by James Michener I have become interested about my grandmother Jenina Papulski. When did she come to America and who was she married to and what happened to him, did he stay in Poland?! My mother had a older brother Zegmund Papulski, but no information about their father. Although I am checking my curiosity grows. To read about the history of Poland and the continuous plight it suffered by it's neighboring countries makes me wonder how it lasted, only through the resolve of some of its leaders to have a 'free' Poland. A pastor once mentioned that our heritage was safe guarded by God in order that we might exist today. To think about the hardship and the wars that occurred in Poland and the deliverance which brought my grandmother to America is astounding, also the consideration that my fathers side was from Germany and the turmoil that existed between Poland and Germany not only in the second world war but previous issues that occurred makes me thankful to the only true God, that His hand was in the formation of my life and the lives of my ancestors.
