The parents of Frank are given as "Martin Selbat" & Kate "Przreska". The priest that performed the ceremony was Rev. John Rzadkowolski (who was the pastor of St. Josephat). You might consider getting the marriage record from the church which may prove to be more accurate with the spelling of the names of the parties involved. There is a record in the 1890 Detroit City Directory for a Martin "Soldat", occupation: boilermaker, residence: 302 Brady. On the 1900 Federal Census, Martin "Sulbut" is still residing at 302 Brady. His birthdate is given as Oct 1843. His wife Catherine (Sep 1845), son Frank (Sep 1877), daughter Annie (Dec 1886), and daughter Mary (Aug 1888). The 1910 Federal Census shows Martin "Soldarck", age 69 & his wife Katherine, age 67 living with their daughter Mary "Lesnau", age 22 and her husband John Lesnau. Mary "Seldon" (daughter of "Martin & Kather.") married 20 Aug 1906 in Detroit to John "Lessnau" (source: familysearch.org) Anna M. "Soldatek" (daughter of Martin Soldatek & Katherine Puzdrowski) married 31 Aug 1904 to William Zelinsky (source: familysearch.org) Cecelia "Soldadek" (daughter of Martin Soldadek & Catherine Posdrowski) married 16 May 1897 to Anthony Koja (source: familysearch.org). Joseph "Soldatik" (son of "Martin & Kate") married 2 Oct 1902 to Anna Rummler (source: familysearch.org) There is also a death record on seekingmichigan.org for a Martin "Soldateck" who died 11 July 1916 (age approx. 77) at 747 Theodore St. in Detroit (which on the 1910 Census was the home of Anthony Koja).

Interesting name. There is a street named Bringard in the very far northeast section of Detroit. Possibly named after someone of that family. The Burton Collection has a history of Detroit streets. I don't do the Detroit Library. -----Original Message----- From: miwayne-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:miwayne-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 12:19 PM To: MIWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MIWAYNE] Frank Seldat of Detroit This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
