Hello Kris,   Checking Ancestry.com I have found Justyna Gunia. Here as a friend's name she gave Marcin Gunia. However if you go to the actual image it says that Marcin Gunia (currently residing at 546 Blackstone street, La Salle, ILL) is her father who actually paid for the trip. Boston Passenger and Crew Lists, 1820-1943about Justyna Gunia Name:Justyna Gunia Arrival Date:10 Jun 1921 Age:18 Estimated Birth Year:abt 1903 Gender:Female Ethnic Background:Polish Port of Departure:Danzig, Germany Ship Name:Potomac Port of Arrival:Boston, Massachusetts Friend's Name:Marcin Gumia Last Residence:Poland Birthplace:Zambrczyce, Poland   I have also found anothe record on EllisIsland.org for Justyna Gunia. This one is for her arrival in 1904 (october 31) at the age of 1 with her mother Agnieszka Gunia (age 24) going to her father Marcin Gunia residing in La Salle, ILL. It look slike it was the first time for boh of them to come to America. As a last residence address it shows Zembrzyce, Poland. If you could find a birth record for Justyna there should be more infor about her parents. I checked Wikipedia and there is a link for you to check: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zembrzyce I have also found a record for Marcin Gunia (age 35 - est birth. 1868) coming to America on May 30, 1903, sailing from Hamburg stating his last residence as Majdan and nationality Austrian.  Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934  about Marcin Gunia   I have found about 20 different places in Poland called Majdan but none of them seems to be close to Zembrzyce. But Majdan can also refer to a settlement of forrest workers or a part of a bigger city. On his arrival papers his ocupation says "Tagelöhner" - day laborer - he could be a forrest worker.   I hope it helps. If you have any questions, let me know.   Aga     ANY help would be much appreciated. Martin/Marcin Gunia – b. about 1872 in Poland (possibly Zembryzce) d. 1961 LaSalle Illinois Wife: Agnes/Agneizska Pauldis/Baldys b. 1884 d. 1955 Arrived in US 1903 and/or 1906 via Canada. I’m stuck....hit a big old brick wall. This above info is all I know about Martin.  It’s like he arrived in Illinois (via Canada) from thin air.  I can’t find anything about him  or Agnes. Please help me find more about him and Agnes.

List: I have provided Kris with a 1940 index listing for naturalization papers for a Martin Gunia with the Blackstone address, and told her how to get those papers. PolishDragon@att.net
