Patricia Bavister / Jean-Jacques Rey Relatives

 I have been trying to locate the date of death or obituary for Patricia Bavister, born 1922 in England. She married Jean-Jacques Rey, born 1916, about 1943. Jean-Jacques Rey was Consul General of Monaco  in The Hague and manager of Hotel des Indes in The Hague from the 1940's to 1970's. It is believed she moved to Switzerland in the mid 1970's after her divorce from Jean-Jacques. I have the obituary and date of death on Jean-Jacques but not Patricia if indeed, she has passed on.

Polish Genealogy Help

My 2GGF was Franciszek Drachowski. I have been able to find very little about him. While perusing records on The Poznan Project, I came across one for "Franciscus Drochowski alias Szczepanka" (and two entries below this one is "my" Franciszek Drachowski). I have some DNA matches on MyHeritage that are Shchepansky's. How close is Szczepanka to Shchepansky? Could this be a lead? And why would this person have had an alias? Any thoughts here are appreciated! 13559139863?profile=original
