I am researching the TUREK surname for my wife's family. The information that I have is as follows: Michael Adelbert TUREK born 10 Jul 1854 in STASZKOWKA. He immigrated to the United States in 1903 and settled in Chicago. He married Juliana Katherine WROZ who was born 19 Mar 1866 in TURZA. I don't have a marriage certificate to tell me where they were married in Poland Michael's oldest son John M. TUREK was born 10 Dec 1886 in STASZKOWKA. John is my wife's grandfather. John M. TUREK married Katarzyna RYCZEK 07 Feb 1910 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Katarzyna RYCZEK's Certificate of Naturalization indicates that she was born in GORLICE. I found a STASZKOWKA in Poland (Galicia area) about 58 miles ESE of Krakow. I also found GORLICE in Poland (Galicia area) south of STASZKOWKA. I am not sure where TURZA is located. I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has a connection to the TUREK family from STASZKOWKA, Galicia, Poland; the WROZ family from TURZA, Poland or the RYCZEK family from GORLICE, Poland. Thanks for your time. Bryant Walker

Hi Bryant, Turza and Staszkowka are about 2 miles apart from one another and both are no more than 10 miles NNW of Gorlice. Cheers!
