Perhaps you can help me with this question... Is nt genealogy fun always a new mystery. OK let me start. My grandmothers parents were Franciszek Lesak and Maria Dumanski living in Novy Sacz. They had a rather large family. Children of Franciszek Lesak and Maria Dumanski Maria, Victoria,Elisabeth,Felix,Franciszek,Casimir,Jan,Karol. I have found Casimir and his wife Josephine on a cenus report in Milwaukee where they list themselves as Russian Poles... Any ideas?

1920 Census lists Casimier, Josephine (2nd marriage), Michalina (daughter of Josephine) as Aust/Polish. Which ever census lists Russian Polish likely error of census enumerator.

It was the 1910 census reporting Austria Polish. Tsk! Check naturalization papers, WWI draft, as well as death certificate. Mary Almrauscher wrote: > Perhaps you can help me with this question...

There is a ship manifest for Michalina Lesak, arriving at Ellis Island at age 10. She was travelling with Maryanna Prus, age 21; last residence was Bobowa, Galicia. They were travelling to Michalina's uncle and Maryanna's brother-in-law, Kazimierz Lesak in Milwaukee. http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?pID=102263080328 Mary Almrauscher wrote: > Perhaps you can help me with this question...
