Surnames: Przygoda Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5g.2ADI/134 Message Board Post: I am from a small town in Southern Illinois where my family immigrated to from MA. My father is the oldest of 11 children. He is a Przygoda. I have been able to track my Great Great Grandfather to Pittsfield, MA where he was born. His name was Jan Przygoda. He was born on October 13, 1874. He died on January 1, 1952 in Dubois, IL. That is where his family moved to. I know that he had 2 sisters named Mary and Maggie. He married Pelagia Boczek in 1877. Her family moved to Dubois, IL from Wisconsin. Together they had 13 children. All of whom resided in southern Illinois. I am looking for whom Jan's parents were and any other information regarding them. Any information that is shared is greatly appreciated.
