According to what I have been told Piotr was living somewhere in Indiana when his first wife, Josepha Wormek Nowak, died. He then married the housekeeper, Tekla Middlestad. Piotr and Tekla's first child, Joseph, was born in Indiana, county unknown, in 1877. Their second child, Mary, my grandmother, was born in Radom, Washington County IL on Dec 25 1878. I think there may have been other Polish families who lived in Indiana prior to coming to Washington County IL. Since I don't know the county of residence in Indiana, I am thinking that perhaps if I can connect other Polish people in Indiana in 1873-1877 era who also came to Washington County IL perhaps I can locate the Nowaks through this association. If you had Polish family in Indiana between 1873-1877 and you know the county of residence, would you please share that info with me? Thank you.! I've hit that brick wall.
