Valene, your story of the Rosno family going to Texas for awhile might tie in, if others from their area were there.

That group above was not from the same area as alot of the Poles who came to Columbus, so I wondered how they got together.

Valene - Are you making any progress ?? Persistence !! Tomasz

Following the thread here - Marge may be out on a trip riding her Harley. Shell be up here when she gets back I'm sure. Rosno's to Texas then back to Nebraska is consistent with an immigrant Families trek in following strong leads to a good job and better future. Since they returned, Texas apparently didn't work out. I think the odds would favor their presence during this period in or around Pania Maria Texas, the first Polish enclave in the US. There are lots of records available. When I visited there it was somewhat of a letdown simply because there was nothing there other than a farming museum which was closed, but, after talking to a few locals, I came away with the knowledge that there were/are tiny towns throughout the entire area, and they were all founded by the Polish. Some towns have commonly unpronounceable names, so, they just reference Pania Maria when it's necessary to state general location, or so a few locals told me.

Thanks for the web sites. I have never talked to Marge, but I hope to. That's where it all started for me...I was looking for more information on Sophia Galus, who married John Rosno's son, and my search led me to Marge. As I continued my search for various people, it seemed that all roads led either to Marge or to Thomasz! Many many thanks to them both and to you.

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the link. Interesting information! John and Josephine Rosno moved to Texas in 1876, although I don't know exactly where. It wouldn't surprise me if they came to the same place. They eventually came back to Nebraska. John's brother, Joseph, married Anna Spies in Kycina, which is only about six miles from Smogulec. They had their first child there shortly before they came to Duncan.

Hi Maura, Thanks for the information! I didn't have any of that. Would you mind sharing your sources with me? Here is the information that I have from the LDS Microfilm #752905, Smogulec, Poland, Parish: 1856, entry #39, Laurentius Kujawa (23) married Catharina Mathuszeska (20) 1859, entry 35, a son, Antonius, born to the couple 1862, entry 13, a daughter, Marianna, born to the couple Because I was looking for the Rosno (Rozek) families rather than the Kujawas, I wouldn't be surprised if I have missed something. I also came across a Lorenz Kujawa on a ship's passenger list. He came to Castle Gardens, I believe, on the Athena in 13 Apr 1866. The list says he was 31, which doesn't match exactly the age calculated from his marriage date, so that leaves some question in my mind whether it is the same person. I haven't yet found anyone else's ship records. My direct line is John Rosno (Joannes Rozek) , who married Josepha Mathuszeska. The two families were good friends (and I'm wondering if the two women were sisters), since I find them witnessing and sponsoring each other for marriages and births of their children. In one personal family history that I have access to, Josepha is called Pierdzioch, but I haven't seen any original source documents that use that name. There are actually two Smogulec microfilms that I have referred to: 752905 and 2034961. There is quite a bit of overlap, and not everthing is consistent from one to the other. I originally found the marriage records for the Rosnos on the Poznan Project, http://bindweed.man.poznan.pl/posen/. It comes up on my computer in Polish, but I have figured out how to navigate it anyway since I can't figure out how to change it to English. Please keep me posted on what you find!

Thanks to Tom for bringing that link back, and to Valene for bringing up the subject of Smogulec. On days of boredom, I love to find out new genealogy info. This is not to do with Columbus or Platte Co. but it is connected by the idea that the railroads certainly were responsible for bringing lots of Eastern Europeans to the U.S. We know that is true of Platte Co, and here is an article about the same thing happening in Texas. And it mentions the village of Smogulec. How the Rosnos and others decided to go to Platte Co. instead of Texas might be the same reason tho.

I've just found out about a little Parish called Brzezie that looks like it's just about a half a mile north from Smogulec. Have you heard of it?

Forgot to add : There seems to be ties into Smogulec for a great many pioneer Poles who settled around Columbus, circa 1850 or so. I don't know the connecting information and some of the early pioneers may not have known either. The connection started with the prior generation of Pioneers it seems, their Moms and Dads time perion. Smogulec comes up at the oddest times. The parents of Walenty LASEK both went there in their senior years. Marty Wozney, Ron Lassek's Grandmother was born there. The Kujawa's came from there. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd like to hear it.

Hello Everyone! Lawrence Kujawa and John and Joseph Rosno came to Duncan Nebraska in about 1868. A Lawrence Kujawa married Catharina Matuszeska in Smogulec, Poland, where the Rosno's came from. John Rosno's wife was Josephine (Josepha) Matuszeska, and I'm wondering if the two women were sisters. Does anyone have any information about the Kujawas or the Matuszeskas that might help me make these connections? Thanks! Valene Contor

HI everyone! I'm looking for information for John and Joseph Rosno, who settled in Duncan, NE in about 1868. I've traced them back to Smogulec, Poland. The last child for John Rosno that I can find record of was born in Smogulec in 1856. US Census records say they had at least two more children born before 1866, which is when we think they immigrated to the US. My guess is that the family moved to another part of Poland for a few years before they immigrated. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I might look? Thanks! Valene Contor

To the list: I know that I brought this subject up before, but no one will remember and someone may have some kind of info. My great grandmothers cousin, Michael Moskal, came to the U.S. with the Mostek family in 1880. He was on the ship with them, and the 1880 census. He was not on the 1885 Ne census so I thought he moved on, but, thanks to our fearless leader,Sherri, I happened to read a small blurb in the Columbus Journal, stating that Michael Moskal, of Columbus, while working in Seward,Ne. (probably on the RR) drowned in the Big Blue River in 1884. In January of 1884, he married Angela Kapustka (Kaipust I presume) at St. Stanislaus. Angela was the daughter of Jacob Kapustka and Katharine Wypior. My question is: Does anyone have this Kaipust family, especially Angela, in their family tree? I would like to know what happened to her and if she remarried. She may have kept the name Moskal (or Mosgol) or took back her maiden name.
