Hello All - I am seeking info on my BIRD relatives who emigrated from Krakow, Poland>Steven's Point, WI, USA, around 1880. Their Polish name was PTAK which means "bird." Apparently, it's not a very common Polish name, but I've had a hard time searching through all the English variants on the Internet for any info. on my family. The only mention of our PTAKs on this side of the Atlantic I can verify was a marriage sponsor Tadeusz PTAK for Luke and Sohpie BIRD in Nainaimo, BC CAN. Any leads you can share would be very helpful. ggg Anna POTTER b. Poland 1840. d. 1910 Cambria WY, USA m. John BIRD (Poland) gg Mary BIRD b. Poland 1868, d. 1963 in CA, USA) m.
