Hello Listers I have just joined 5 mins ago and live in the land down under, Australia. I an researching Stanislaus TOKAR (there a few alternate spellings) and wife Marianna OGORZATY abt 1867. I have found one son Michael who was baptised 22 Sep 1867, 63 Barcice, Barcice, Kraków, Poland. In the Poland Tarnow Roman Catholic Diocese. Michael immigrated to America and changed his name to Mike Tucker and I first find him in American 1930 census, married to Annie ? I don't have a last name for her however the census records that she too is from Poland. I am using Ancestry and Find My Past for research however I think that I have gone as far as I can go with these two sites. I would love to find out the following 1Did Stanislaus TOKAR and wife Marianna OGORZATY come to America and when along with any little bit of extra information. 2Mike TUCKER come to America abt 1879 according to my maths with the 1930 census and Annie ? came later in 1901 I would love to find the immigration record for both and marriage record. I do hope someone can give me a you beaut suggestion on how to research Polish family. Yours in hope Jenny

Jenny: I see several Michael/Mike Tokar/Tucker in various records; however, the only one in the 1930 census which you note is the fellow in Pennsylvania, Cambria, West Carroll, ED 11-121, Sheet 25A(156)with wife Annie and sons, Mike, born PA 1906, Mary, 1908, Freddy, 1915 and John 1921. He states he is naturalized, but I don't see one in the various indexes. What makes you think this 1930 one is your fellow? and if he is, possibly one of our Pennsylvania coal mining area experts can assist you. PolishDragon@att.net
