The Paternal Line - Episode 1: Part 2 | The Heritage Detective Podcast

Описание: What if the only thing connecting you to your father’s side of the family… was silence?
When my cousin Edward Jr. passed away, it didn’t just mark the end of a life—it cracked open a sealed vault of family secrets that no one had touched in decades.
Growing up, we knew almost nothing about our paternal line. My brothers and I were completely cut off—no cousins, no grandparents, no stories. Just a vague understanding that “the war” had separated everyone and that we were now our own quiet, isolated branch.

But the truth was far more complicated.

In Part 2 of The Heritage Detective, I follow the trail of breadcrumbs left by my grandfather, Witold Józef Zamaro—later known as Vito—who never returned to his homeland after WWII. His siblings were scattered across Europe and Canada.

These weren’t just names. They were clues. And the silence they left behind? That became the mystery I would one day have to solve.
