I am searching for relatives of Molly (Malka) MIGDEN, daughter of Fanny and Leizer MIGDEN. Fanny was from Novashola (it means new town) near Zbarash. Leizer was from from Podvalachesk and raised cattle. He was much older than Fanny. Fanny was the second wife and left Poland for Boston in 1913; leaving behind her husband and six month old baby daughter, Molly. Leizer died in 1927. Leizer had four children from his first marriage; two sons and two daughters; they were adults when he married Fanny. Fanny (Faine) SEGAL and Leizer had two daughters, one of them being Molly. The youngest son of Leizer's first marriage served in the Polish Army, and gave his little sister, Malka/Molly a ring. Molly came alone to USA (Boston) in 1930. The youngest brother wrote to her when she emigrated. She lost touch with half brothers and sisters when WW II started. There were also cousins named NUSBAUM. Does anyone know?

I am looking for information on the birthplace of Veronica ZYGMONTOVICH, born 1880 in the Spis area of Poland or Slovakia. She married Andrew J. MIHALIK, born 1875. They married at Spangler, Pennsylvania in 1898. Her parents were George ZYGMONTOVICH and Katherine DOMION. She had a brother Jacob, born 1887 who married Elizabeth SOLTIS in 1907; they lived in Luzerne Co. Pennsylvania. Jacob shortened his name to ZIGMOND. It is believed that Elizabeth traveled to the US with a WAXMUNSKY. Andrew was from the Nowytarg--Jurgow area of Poland and we believe that the others may also be from the same area but as of yet have no proof.


CZARNIECKI, Anna
eMail address: annacz@public.bta.net.cn
(Roman Catholic)

I am looking for the American part of my family (CZARNIECKI / CZARNIECKA) who emigrated some time before or during World War II (1939-1945) and took residence on the east coast of the United States (Philadelphia or New York). The given names of the father and son (born in US?) were Stefan and Jan (John). Stefan was the son of my great-grandfather's cousin, Felix, a psychiatrist, who established a clinic in Kobierzyce, near Krakow. Jan came to Poland to study architecture in the 60's and lived in Warsaw at the home of my great-aunt (younger sister of my grandfather) - Antonina CZARNIECKA-MUSIEROWICZ. Later on (the more important part) he got our family tree out of Poland (he was to marry countess LEDOCHOWSKA, of French emigration). I have reason to believe that the family tree he took was more detailed than the one that remained in Poland. It is not sure if he resides in France or America. My great-aunt, having passed away few years ago, can not serve as a source of family gossip any longer and my mother, Barbara CZARNIECKA, daughter of Antoni and granddaughter of Jozef and Maria MYSLICKA. does not have any contact with the Krakow (Cracow) branch of the family. I would be very grateful indeed for providing me with any information relating to any of these persons.

My grandmother, Rozalia RYPIEN, emigrated from Jelesnia, Poland to Ohio in 1912. Jelesnia is about 30 miles southwest of Krakow and just east of Zywiec. Her parents were Thomas and Mary RYPIEN, formerly Mary STRALKA or STRZALKA. Mary died in 1903. He probably remarried after Mary's death.

Thomas and Mary had 3 other children: Francis who died in infancy in 1903; Anne who entered a Belgian convent around 1914 and died in 1980; and Nellie (?) who remained in Poland. Mary's mother was Regina STRALKA or STRZALKA. Mary's sister, Magdalena, married Antoni (?) NIEDBALA and later lived at Lorain, Ohio.

Can anyone help me find out about past family histories of the surnames KWOKA, TROJAN,SOLTYS, or GAEDEK? It is told from an uncle that the KWOKA family was the caretaker for the musician Padereski. Both sets of my grandparents came into the US between 1910 and 1907. Not much more was ever known of our heritage. I do believe that they were all Catholic...but rumor has it on the SOLTYS side there was Jewish ancestry. I am the daughter of Edmund KWOKA, Sr. and Agnes SOLTYS. My maternal Grandparents, Frank SOLTYS, and Sophia GAEDEK SOLTYS, were emigrants to the US around 1900-1910. My paternal grandparents were Joseph KWOKA and Sophia TROJAN KWOKA. They also emigrated around the same time. Thank you to anyone who could shed some light on my family tree.

I am looking for information on my great grandmother's family who came to LaSalle, Illinois from Posen around 1900. I don't know the spelling of their name but it's pronounced something like WISNESKI. I would like to know possible spellings for this name or any other information. My great-grandmother Katherine Wisneski was born 5 July l887 in posen I think, and was Katherine WILLIAMS from her first marriage around 1909, then Katherine SCHALLA after her second marriage around 1915.

OSTROWSKI, Kevin
eMail address: ostro@coredcs.com
(Roman Catholic)

My great-grandfather, Frank HOFFMAN, was born at Dobieszewo, Poland in 1848. I've searched indexes and several maps, but cannot locate a Dobieszewo, Poland. Do you know if one exists and if there are records for this place so I can obtain records regarding my great-grandfather?
Webmaster's Note: Two separate locations exist by this name - both appear to be in the former German province of Pommern: 1) is SE of Slupsk and NW of Bytow and 2) is just east of Lobez. You have posted a bare minimum entry for this genealogy research list. If you care to add what you know about Frank's marriage and death date/year and place, the maiden name and ditto for his spouse, we might be able to identify the German spellings of those towns and check to see if futher records exist.

I am searching for information on my great grandparents: Walter Benjamin KAZMIERSKI (b. 1883 in Warsaw) and his wife, Maryanna (KOZMINSKU, born 9 October 1885 or 1886). They were married in Poland in 1900 and emigrated shortly thereafter from somewhere on the outskirts of Warsaw (location unknown). She was the daughter of Joseph KOZMINSKU who owned an estate where he bred Arabian horses. Walter Benjamin was a stable boy there. I believe the connection will be made through the horse farm somehow. The KOMINSKU family left behind in Poland was never heard from again after WW I. Any help out there will be greatly appreciated.


PARKER, Judy
eMail address: Mumsmably@aol.com

I am searching for the district in Poland that my grandmother, KULESZA, Agatha came from. Her father was Wincentego or Vincent KULESZA and her mother was Briggidy DROZDOIS or DROTZ. I know nothing more about them. I have a birth certificate of my grandmothers brother that states the Archdiocese as Wilenska and the parish as Babinsku. Other than the archdiocese and the names, there are two other words that might be of significance and that is "Dridach" and "Dudrkiego". I am not sure what either of these two words mean or if they are the area where the church (Roman Catholic) is. My grandmother was born in 1883 and died in Massachusetts in 1971. She married Benjamin KRUPSKY in 1907 at South Boston, Massachuesetts and had 8 children. There is much more information I would like to research but I need to know where to start. Finding the district where my grandmother came from is the most important at the time.
Webmaster's Note: Neither Babinsku nor Wilenska appear in a 1997 Polish auto atlas nor in the 17th CD-ROM edition of the FHL Catalogue (April 1997) - thus it is possible you have a document that has either mis-spelled those names or perhaps has been mis-read. You might want to have a professioanl Polish genealogist look at it and be sure you are searching for the correct location.

My grandfather Stanislaw MALESZYK was born at Lublin, Lublin, Russia in 1885. His parents were MALESZYK (unknown given name) and mother Anastasia KULIK. He emigrated to Canada sometime before 1915, when he married Franciszka ZIOLKOWSKI (parents Francesz and Catherine WALENCZUK) at Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I've been told that the MALESZYK and KULIK names are NOT POLISH but ultimately derive from somewhere else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am looking for information about the ancestors of Franceszka ZIOLKOWSKI born 16 November 1888 at Ostrow, Siedlce, Poland, North East of the city of Lublin. She was the youngest child of Francisz ZIOLKOWSKI, and Catherine WALENCZUK, who died at birth of Franceszka, 16 November 1888, and was raised by an older sister. She emigrated to Canada and married Stanislaw MALESZYK at Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1915. She claimed to be a direct descendant in a line from the Crown Hetman Stanislaw ZOLKIEWSKI.

I am also looking for the ancestors of Catherine WALENCZUK born Poland circa 1848 -1858; married Francesz ZIOLKOWSKI, (a lawyer and circuit judge) at Ostrow Poland, north east of the city of Lublin, likely about 1878. She died 16 November 1888 at the birth of her daughter Franceszka. I am also searching KULIK, KUNOT, PALYSZ, PYRKOSZ, and SKWARA ancestors born in Poland.

I am seeking assistance in tracing my family roots and any possible family members. I have limited information available to me. The information I do have is as follows: From my mother's birth certificate: Full Name: Janina STENPIEN, born 24 December 1922 at Kajmow, Distr, Tarnobrzeg, Poland; Baptised 1922 at Miechocin. Her father was STENPIEN. Her mother was Maria PYRZEWICZ. My mother, Janina STENPIEN, was born and lived in Poland at the village of Kajmow in the District of Tarnobrzeg. She went to school and church at Mehochen (the name of the school and church). She had 2 brothers-Franec (Frank) and Wladick (Walter) as well as two sisters - Vernonica and Helen. She was taken by Germans to a work farm near the village of Oberbincer (near Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany) when a teenager, that was the last she saw of them I believe. I think her two sisters may have been in an orphanage near Tarnobrzeg. I believe that on August 12, 1947 she arrived in the displaced persons camp of Wildflecken kries Brudkenau. My father was Walter J. RABIEGA, born 13 June 1907 at Shorzenin, Distr, Wolsztyn, Poland. His father was Joseph RABIEGA and his mother was Maryanna ZUREK RANIEGA.

Information on my father is from bits and pieces my mother has given me. He passed away in 1961 and my mother does not have any other informayion. My father, Walter RABIEGA, was born in Poland in the town / village of Shorzenin in the District of Wolsztyn. He had 7 brothers (don't know their names) and his family were bakers I believe. I don't know the year but he met my mother on the work farm described above, which was owned by a German family names of Joseph and Betty KESTELMERYER and their son Joseph Jr. He married my mother at the displaced persons camp of Wildflecken. My mother, father, and oldest sister Jadwiga, departed the camp sometime in 1951 via US military transport and came to New York via Ellis Island from Bremen, Germany. They settled in Struthers (1.5 hrs. from Cleveland) Ohio. If anyone has any information that may help me locate any possible relatives, I would appreciate your e-mailing me.
