I recently learned that it was a Polish custom to call a person named Constantine "Gus'. Since then I have come across two other instances where a Gus was baptised Constantine. Your Gus was baptised at St. Hyacinth Catholic Church in La Salle, IL. on 30 Jan 1878. He was born 28 Jan 1878 to Joseph Panek & Antonina Tomaszewski. Gus & his wife Ida were listed in the probate papers of his brother, Walter Panneck. Joseph's parents, Thomas & Weronika (Waloch) Panek also immigrated to La Salle. Many of the Panek/Panneck and Waloch/Walloch families immigrated to La Salle and became prominent in the community. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
