On the Quest for Information about Myron Mathisson

The purpose of the article is to indicate details connected with the search for any information on the life and work of Myron Mathisson (1897--1940), a not so widely known Polish theoretical physicist who made outstanding contributions to the problem of motion in general relativity and to the theory of the wave equation. The search started in about 1978. Since Tilman Sauer and Andrzej Trautman in their article published in the current issue of Acta Physica Polonica B have acknowledged some of the results of the search, one may regard the present article as a sort of an appendix to that by these authors.
