Hmmmmm ?? - well, I think the Saints and Angels were the smart ones, just floating around in "protection mode" while their charges did the stinky ship thing. Also, I note that none of them volunteered to trade places with the immigrants as they stomped across the New World. Tenderfoot ?? I don't think so - the word no longer applies. Its considered outdated in Alaska and applies only in the lower 48. For the last few decades the word "Chechaco" has been used, borrowed from the Native Alaskan Chinook language, and is freely applied to newcomers for around 1 year. After a newcomer has lived in Alaska for a year and has seen the ice go out on the Yukon River in spring, they are considered a "Sourdough". The word was coined and based on the practice of making bread for consumption and always carrying a small portion of the bread dough with you so as to make more bread when required so no one ever goes hungry on the tundra. The word 'sour' comes from the abundance of lactic and acetic acids that are produced when natural yeasts, present in the air, ground, and everywhere, to include in and on grains, is used. A cultured yeast such as bakers yeast wouldn't survive the experience. I lived in Alaska for 24 years and have watched the spring ice breakup on the Yukon. I dont wear boxer shorts, I wear tighty whities. I have never understood why men wear boxer shorts, other than to say that they are a trend-setter garment bringing more profit to those who sell them. They were patented in 1925 as an over-garment for prize fighters who needed free movement. Oddly enough, they wore tighty whities under them. Today, they took the supporting whitie portion away and wear the outer shell as underwear. Go figure. Its also my understanding that immigrant women, from 1925 on, preferred their men to wear tighty whities. Yup if I were in Columbus during the recent snow flurry activity there, it would have been my pleasure indeed have ridden the pathfinder mule ahead of the kin seeker wagon, and I would have contacted the Columbus Telegram for onsite coverage. Bet it would have made the TV as well. Next year I would laison with the LDS for a Saints cart plus Mormon Family. 10 years from now, the event would surely demand national recognition and Columbus would be famous !! This all brings up a mystery, which to my knowledge, has never been addressed. I'm wondering what our men ancestors wore prior to 1925 when they immigrated or if they wore any undergarment at all ??

As far as I can see, they are brother's. The connection goes back to Michael 1814. Ron contact me at [email protected] Are you the Ron from GI or was at one time?

Tom, What about all the saints and angels protecting those great warriors, that sailed the sea's in a stinky ship, worked their way half way across the US, (on foot) unless they had a RR job and rode.. Being a tenderfoot from Alaska a little snow shouldn't get your boxers in a wad, son, march on........... Maybe you will make the local press! Debi! On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 8:43 AM, Thomas E.

I seriouslycouldn't wait to read all the info on these dastardly Kush's! As much as I regret saying this, they are the Kush's on the films. found a bit more info also Monica. Because you are so right, combed those films and more, so bare with me. My info is as this: Stanislaus and Mary are not Michael Kush's parents. Michael Kush's (b 1843-d. 1912, brd Krakow) parent's were Michael Kus b 1814 and Sophia Augustyn b 1820, mrd 1835. they had 11 children Marianna, Joannes, Catherina, Michael, Francisca, Anna, Ludwig, Thomas, Joannes and Appolonia, all born in Poland. Michael married a 2nd time to Agnes Farczek in 1863 (not long after Sophia's death). they had 6 children victoria, Bartholmus, Francicus, Michael (1879), Anna, Sophia. Michael born 1843, had a uncle named Sebationus and a child. Michael 1843's obit said very little, basically that he died of thoart cancer. A picture I posted on Platte County Rootsweb, has three men in it, the first one I believe is Louis/Ladislaus Kush (his sone b 1884), the 2nd being Michael Kus'/ Kush (1843) and the 3rd Thomas Kush (Michael (1843)'s brother). Not proven but my belief. the photo was provided to me from my aunt Helen, picture that she had no idea who they were, the photo's had come from her mother's things. I believe Ludwig Kush (1851- 1930) is Michael's brother and Joseph Kush (1862-1947). Most of Michael's sibling's did end up in Platte County. By all accounts ludwig William Kush (1851) and Michael are brother's. Info from the LDS films and Platte County marriage records. Again, the same for Thomas Kush (1851) clearly listed in the LDS films as his brother. In info I got from Thomas (1851) family (Brian Meyer) a news article for Thomas's 94th Birthday, it states one brother Joe Kush of Tarnov. The picture's I have, one is Joe and Agnes in front of a barn, that I believe is taken at the home place of Michael Kush (1843) and one is Thomas (1851) also in front of the barn. I have scanned quite a few of the entries from the LDS films, if some one wants them to study (or the info and you can look up). Michael (1843) and Katherina Pawlak were married 1868 in Kcyznia (found on the Pozan Project) and Immagrated 6 May 1870. Although the ship list states "farchin" and "marchin" the ages may perhaps suggest an uncle.

Hi Debi - I dont research this surname so I can't answer your question in fact, but as always, I can throw some nuts and bolts into the pot. Jodi is my niece. Her Mother is Terry Lassek (my sister) who was married for several years to Tom Swerczek. I liked Tom, but apparently Terry didn't. I screwed up in my email in that I misspelled Jodi's surname. The proper spelling is SWERCZEK, so I apologize for this. In the past, I was constantly under the gun from my sister for proper spelling in this regard. The Swierczek spelling always stuck with me because, as a young man, my first love (blush) was a girl named Betty Swierczek. So for 2 and 1/2 years that surname spelling became reflexive with me. Now to your question. I would opine that even though the surname spelling is different, a DNA test would probably show a connection. Why ?? I remember talking with Tom SWERCZEK several years ago and I asked him about the differentiation between the spellings. He told me that in the past, a branch of the Swierczek Family, for whatever reason, became involved in a Family feud, and in the end, changed their surname spelling to SWERCZEK in protest. If someone wants to speak with Tom, I'm sure his phone number is listed in the Omaha directory. If not, I will ask my sister if she has the number (shudder).

I wasn't so fortunate as to find an entire trucnk full, but grateful none the less. Some of the pictures I put on the Platte County Rootswebb site, were found (while alive, thankfully) in my aunt Hellen's box of old pictures. Specially, a picture of what I believe is all the girls (to include the wives of the men) of Michael and Katherina Kush. One of what I believe is the men of Michael and Katherina Kus. One man is a Bartshaulk, that was a family friend and neighbor. another of Katherina Kush. Had I not seen one of Katherin a few years ago, I would of never known it was Katherina. Katherina being aunt Helen's grandmother. Helen and her siblings did not know who these people were. All they knew is they were photo's her mother had. Their mother died in 1943, four years after my father was born. The second treasure I was honored to recieve, came in the form of a shoe box. On my mother's side of the family, the McCullough's. The McCullough's lived in a 1860, true blue 3 room cabin 4 miles from the Arkansas boarder in Missouri, near Branson. My mother was born in that cabin. In the fourties they still drove a wagon to Berryville, AR for supplies, mother remeber's this. No electricity, no running water and when we clean the ole cabin out abt 2005, a wood burning cook stove was still in place. The family started fueding and the home place was sold on the court house steps to the highest bidder. One day driving by the ole' place, I saw a man there and asked if I could take a picture of the cabin. graciously he allowed me to and then to my surprize, he produced a shoe box of things he'd found in the cabin (we missed). the only thing I ever saw with my mother and father's name on was my (org) birth certificate untill that day. Inside that precious shoe box was a Christmas card my mother had sent her grannie, Love, Jimmy, Jan and girls. I shall treasure that forever. Other treasures were found there like over 120 tin type pictures I'm tryig to identify, the handwritten draft for my ggrandfather's obit. and my ggrannies pill box hat, she wore it to ggrandfather's funeral, which I barely remember, but do have a photo of her in it. I feel very fortunate, to be the keeper of the family's prizes and will continue to gaurd the family's treasures with pride. Yes, I love old trunks and shoe boxes!

Thanks Dianne........I haven't tried it yet, but I did use FindAGrave to find my dads. I was unable to attend my dads funeral when he died, and last year I found him on FindAGrave at the National Cemetery in South Dakota. Someone went and took a pic for me of his stone too, which made me happy. I may search for some of my husbands relatives on the site you gave us. Never hurts to have more than one.

Peter, I wonder if she died at or later from complications in childbirth, as that is the same year that Sophia was born according to that census.I love it when we can connect the dots and fit together the pieces of this big puzzle we call genealogy!! > Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 13:18:52 -0600 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NEPLATTE] Mimick/ sturek/ Strachura > > Hi Monica, > > Thanks for the census record.

Good hello - Resending this email as I don't think it went out initially. I believe I pushed the wrong button here. Sorry. My niece, Jodi Swierczek, found this orbit in the Omaha newspaper. I'm hoping that someone can tell me if and especially how this Syslo Family is related to my Moms Syslo Family from Cedar Rapids Nebraska. As a child, I remember a Syslo located in Bellevue, a retired Colonel from the USAF, and completely forgot about him till now. I think that he may be this Joseph Syslo.

Katie says she had 7 children, 7 living, but after they list the 7 children: Peter, Mike, John Frank, Thomas, Charley and Louis, the list a lodger, Lucy Sampak, then list 2 more children who were older than the 7 listed. They are listed as Joseph Mimitz, son, born in Poland, and Sophie Mimitz, daughter, born in Nebraska.. But I don't have record of who the mother was to verify what you asked. But, I also have that Kathryn married John M. Kuta a year after John Mimick died. ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 17:29:44 -0600 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NEPLATTE] Mimick/ sturek/ Strachura > > Can anyone else confirm that John Mimick was first married to Mary Legenza > and that they had three kids: Lucy, Sophia & Joseph? > > And then he married Katherine Sturek and had several more children? > > I believe that Katherine Sturek married John Kuta after John Mimick died? > > Thanks, > Peter > Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
