Do you know the spelling of the name when they immigrated? In searching for the Dobroc's I found them with a strange spelling in the Dell in the 1920 census. Do you know of other spellings. I keep finding then losing these folks. Here is the 1920 Census: 1920 MI, Grand Traverse County, Traverse City, Prec. 2, Sheet 2B, ED 28; M625-767, pg. 163b, Line 88, Dw# 46, Fm# 46; 513 Second St. 3 Jan 1920 DELL, Jospeh, head, owns home free, 41, m, im: 1878, NA in 1902, b.

Russia Poland I would be happy to share was little information I have on this family. I have been attempting to find out where in Poland this Zielinki family came from and resided. According to the departing Hamburg records [1885] it looks like Swietkowa. John Stanley Zielinski's Social Security Application says he was born in Warsaw [1879]. Mary Dobroc also had a Social Security Application which I have applied to get a copy. My mother-in-law always said her understanding was the family was from Krakow. As far as I know all my be true. Have you heard anything of Mary Dobroc's family? Pattie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
