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.
