Nice to meet you! Here is the info I have - I have seen Alfons' name in the census searches. My Grandmother-in-law is Agnes Zgolinksi Sandahl Hansen. She has a 2 siblings, Daniel and Louise, both still living, no children either one. Dan may be the elderly man you found, since we all live near Seattle. Agnes, Dan, and Louise were all born here in Maple Valley. Their parents were Frank and Anna Zgolinski, both from Poland. Frank was born in 1885 or '86, immigrated in 1890 or '91, apparently with his parents, and naturalized in 1906. Anna was born in 1891 in Poland, immigrated in 1907, the same year they married. Frank is listed in the 1900 census as the stepson of Stanley Strychacz (b. 1875, Poland Austria, immi 1896), son of Marry (b. 1867 or '68, Poland Russia, immi 1891. All of this from the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 census records. I've looked unsuccessfully in the Ellis Island records and the Ancestry.com immigration records, for both Zgolinski and Strychacz - no luck. In the 1910 census, I found John Zgolinski, wife Kathrina, daughter Agnes, stepsons Charles and Frank. John was 66 at this time. They can be seen on image 21, ED#26 in Other Townships, King County, WA. So can Frank and Anna, and the Strychaczes, although the name is spelled differently than in other records and Mrs. Strychacz - Frank's mother - is recorded as "Maria", I think. Anyway, the 1900 census shows the Strychaczes in Scranton Ward 11, PA; 1910 shows them all in Franklin Pct, King County, WA; 1920 shows Frank, Anna, and 3 children in Renton City, King Co, WA. I do not find John or any of the rest of his family, although I don't know his stepson's surname. I haven't talked much with our Zgolinski's about the family, but that's my goal for the next week or so. Let's hope we are part of one family! I'll keep you up on what I find, so please let me know, too. Cyndi
