I wish I could respond to your John Niespodziany, but as far as I know, he is not in my direct line. I was given a tip by someone researching in Srebrnagora, where my great-uncle MARTIN NIESPODZIANY(b 1866) was married in 1896. He and his parents, THOMAS NIESPODZIANY and APOLONIA MEZYDLOlived in Panigrodz. (By 1896 Apolonia had died.) Thomas' father was APOLLINARY(b. unknown). The children of Thomas and Apolonia were, in descending order of age: ANTONINA MARTIN b.1866. Came to U.S. about 1896. IGNACE b.1867. Came to U.S. about 1894. This is my mother's father. JOSEPH STANISLAUS (STANLEY) Came to U.S. (when?) WALENTY APOLONIA HELENA PETRONELLA Might you have come upon any of these names in your research? Also was your JOHN N. born in the U.S.? Thanks. Trish
