BABIS Linda

I'm searching for any one who can help with tracing the relatives of Franciszek BABIS, born Poland 1895, married Marisha MATUSZCAK. They had ten children; they escaped from Poland during World War II. Franciszek and three sons were missing. We believe their religion to be Roman Catholic. Marisha BABIS finaly took her family through Siberia, India and then settled with the help of the Red Cross in England. We are the decendants of the youngest male Tedeuzs BABIS and live in Australia. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

I am looking for grandfather's family or relatives. His name was Gzregorz DZIEWIDEK. He was born in Galicia around 1879. He emigrated to America (Minneapolis, Minnesota) in the early 1900's. He went by either Gregory or George and married my grandmother, Carolina MIERZWA (daughter of Joannes MIERZWA and Agnieska KUKLA) around 1907 at Sambor. He served in the Austrian army. A researcher found a recent survey that showed DZIEWIDEK name at Gorzow, Jelinia Gora, Katowice, Koszalin, Lublin, Opole, Premysl, Szczecin, Tarnow, and Walbrzych regions. Grandmother was born at Rakszawa, Poland in 1888. Grandmother did live in Wolica, Poland for a while. Grandfather's emigration to US was sponsored by a Julian KOKOSINSKI. Any information will be appreciated.

I am getting desparate. I am looking for information from my family line in Gleboka, Sambor, Poland. My g-grandfather Stanley PACHOLEWSKI came from Gleboka around 1900 to McKees Rock, Pennsylvania. He was married to Helena Maryana DOBRZECHOWSKI. Stanley's parents were Michel PACHOLEWSKI and Mary SAWOLIA. Michel's parents were John PACHOLEWSKI and Anna HOUINKA. These people are becoming more a mystery to me as I cannot find any of them. Please help.

I am researching for any information on the KOROLDEN family. My Grandfather was born in Krakow 1898. His name at birth was Carol KOROLDEN. After passing through immigration it was changed to Charles. His Moher was Anna BUSCO. His father was John KOROLDEN. Charles had a brother, Joesph. His last name was either KROLDEN or KAROLDEN. John KOROLDEN died in the Austro Hungarian Empire. That is when his family decided to immigrate to America. They emigrated before 1914.

After thirteen years, I still have not found the place of origin in Poland for my family. I offer the following information to see if I can get some opinions and suggestions regarding what I should try next. Family tradition says Martha KAWALSKI (born 17 August 1873, died 16 April 1954) emigrated to the United States to join her half brother, John DAIR / DYER / DAYER at Peshtigo, near Marinette, Wisconsin and Menominee, Michigan circa 1890 or 1891. Martha KAWALSKI and Joseph KOSTREWSKI / COSTRZEWSKI (born 3 March 1858), both born in Poland, were married at Menominee, Michigan in St. Adalberts Roman Catholic Church on 1 August 1892. Family tradition said Joseph had first wife and children, all of whom died in Wisconsin or Michigan.

Martha and Joseph traveled West to Tacoma, Washington before the birth of their first child on 15 June 1893. Five children were born at Tacoma and baptized in the St. Stanislaus Koska Roman Catholic Church, whose records are now at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The remaining six children were baptized in the Church of Saint Joseph, Pe Ell, Washington. where the family farmed. Joseph was apparently naturalized in 1900 and the entire family went by the name of KOSKI. The last of their eleven children just died in 1996. In the 1900 Federal census for Pe Ell, Lewis County, Washingron, Joseph and Martha both said they were born in "German Poland". John Dair, in the 1900 census of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, said he was born in Germany. In the 1910 census, Pe Ell, Lewis County, Washingtonm Joseph and Martha said they were born in Russian Poland. John Dair has not been found. In the 1920 census of Chehalis, Lewis County Washington, Joseph and Martha give their place of birth as Poland.

Contact with descendants of my great-grandmother's half brother, John Dyer, finds they know nothing about their family, but they are all Roman Catholic and they do consider themselves to be Polish, not German. They can't tell me when John Dyer died so I can search for his obituary or death certificate. Obituaries, death certificates and cemeteries for Joseph and Martha say nothing about where they came from in Poland. The church where they were married has no record of their transfer to the church and the churches where the children were baptized had no information regarding where they came from in Poland. A professional researcher in Washington State did find Joseph's naturalization certificate, but was unable to find a declaration of intent. Any and all opinions and suggestions would be welcome.

My grandparents Jozef and Stefania SZYMANSKI (born circa 1900) lived at Raczynow (village, not far from Pabianice). They had 3 sons (Leon, Janek, Bronek) and one daughter (Marysia). Does anyone have any
information on the SZYMANSKI ancestors prior to my grandparents, where they may have originally been from etc.?
