Hi Daniel,

thanks for the information on the Polish language. My parents spoke Polish when I was very little but when my grandparents died, no one used it anymore so I am very glad you have given me some background on the pronunciation and spelling.

I have had some help and a lot of luck finding information about my grandfather Zingelewicz. Up until the 1920s or 1930s my grandfather was spelling the name Zengelewicz. When I googled the name Zengelewicz I found some lists online for Jewish surnames. The name appears on a .pdf file for Jewish surnames in Kutno 1808-1942. I found this very interesting because my one aunt always claimed we were part Jewish. don't know if this is true but it makes for an interesting trail to follow. My grandfather married in Chicago at St. John Cantius Church so I have no idea of there is a connection with any Jewish relatives. I am going to try other variations of the name, including the ones you suggested and see where that may lead me also.

Thanks again for your insight and help.
Michelle

Maybe the Illinois Railway Museum in Union Illinois will be more receptive to e-requests in the meantime. Can't say for sure how much they can tell you about the freight station, but the more facts you give them the more they may be able to help.

I am looking for information about grandmother side of the family. I am not sure of spelling could be Zemba or Ziemba. My grandmother Mary Catherine Zemba was 1 of 7 children. Her parents were Joseph and Catherine Zemba. All children were born in America except for 1, Frances was born in Poland and I believe she was the 2nd oldest.

Looking for family. Last known address was in the village of Szkodna. My grandfather's sister Honorata married Antoni Szcepanek. They had 4 children, Julianna, Josefa, Joanna, and Karol.
I know there were relatives still in the village in the early 1980's.

To be honest now, i have found out already what is related to that address and i dont think it was the one anyone would be in in the time years im looking at, its just records that might reveal some more names or places of birth in Poland as i beleive Walenty and Zofia met and married there before moving to Poland. They had 13 kids in all, only 3 kids of the 13 went to America again in the 30's. No idea for why they did this, and information about them is sort or lost.

I would to somehow get hold of Walenty and Zofia's marriage records and two of the 2 of the missing three plus the Brother of Walenty who lived with them in the 1910 Census:

Walenty Zięba (Valentine Ziemba). Born 27/11/1885, Galicja, Poland and Zofia Mleczko (Sophie Mleczko). Born 12/05/1887 married in rougly 1907 in the US, very possibly the state of Ohio.

(The Brother of Walenty) Jan Zięba (John Ziemba). Born 1890 in Galicja, Poland. Lived in Lorain Ohio of 1910.

Stanisław Zięba. Born April 07 1912, Lorain, Ohio. (Known on US records as maybe Stanley Ziemba)
Anna Zięba. Born 1909 Lorain, Ohio. ( Either on records as Anna/Annie Ziemba)

Ive raided Goolge search and the Ancestry.com site for search under loads of variations but still i have hit a wall with what im after unless the cleveland Diocese finds what i was looking for from my request.

It's very common for immigrants to the U.S. (from any country) to "Anglicize" their names, particularity before 1900. If I remember correctly, Kwiat means "Flower" in Polish, so "Rose" would be natural way for someone to make their name better understood in English....

I don't know his rank, only his unit: Captain Wydzga's company of the 4th Lancers Regiment

BTW, here is the church where he is buried: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Rosemond&GSbyrel=all&GSdy=1906&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=44541795&df=all&

From what I can tell, John's father didn't fight in the uprising, he had been wounded badly in 1813 so he may have been unable to fight because of his old wounds.

Thanks for your thoughts. I know he was a horseman before going to the guard and he definitely was a parent who demanded respect and obedience from his sons.

STARSOLLA / STARYSOLLER / STARISSOLER / STAROSOLER-Tarnopol

Subject: STARSOLLA / STARYSOLLER / STARISSOLER / STAROSOLER

Question:
The STARSOLLA'S (or any similar spellings) from TARNOPOL, Galicia =

Can anyone link-up SUSSIE STARISSOLER (1831-1876) or descendents with
SCHULIM HERSCH STAROSOLER (1814-1879) or his descendents?

I have two different trees. The one I can directly ascend to from myself is
to SUSSIE (Tarnopol) with only 6 people and some members of their families.

I have another tree with dozens of people and some members of their families
in the SCHULIM HERSCH tree (Zbaraz).

I am sure there are brothers and sons who link them up, but I can't find it!

Also, in the Zbaraz tree, we have two different SAMUEL'S : STARYSOLLER
(1874-?) who married twice. He took his 2nd wife (Alte CZYGLIK),his first
wife's sister, plus many children to New York (c1911). The other Samuel is
STAROSOLER (1876-?) with a different named wife (Anna) who also went to New
York.
Could they possibly be the same person, with Alte anglicising her name to
Anna?
They are both linked to CHAIM WOLF STARISSOLER (1858-1911) who was the son
of SCHULIM HIRSCH.

I do not reconize any of those Cencula names but I think those are the one I might be lated to. I will check out the 2 links that you provided and I will send a letter to both of the parishes you gave. Thanks again!

Hi Gilberto,
I am going to order the LDS films for Zadowice and see what turns up. I live in Phoenix Arizona and have access to a number of Family History Libraries. I am going to order those today because I can't wait to see what I find out or at least can rule something out.

Good news on the maternal side. I found the ship's manifest for my maternal grandfather. I was searching under his full surname which he used most often, never thinking he would have used the shortened version on his arrival. But there he was Jan Kloss (instead of Kloszewski), meeting his brother Antoni Kloss and going to Erie, PA. It is him and I am happy to finally be making progress on this side of the family also.

I need to get a copy of the ship's manifest the one online is too difficult to read the place of birth. My mother says he was from Lwow but I'm not sure.

Can you scan and attach the bio page? Myself or others on this forum could decipher what google can't. The time period of his leaving for the US had many more as well. Chicago's "Polish Downtown" started up about 1820 and was really booming in 1840 with part of the community becoming americanized and part working toward a free polish homeland where they could one day return. Many military and other professionals were within the community.
