I would like to obtain any information on one of our ancestors from Poland. His name was Mathew Cyckiewocz (also spelled Ceckiewicz and Syskiewicz in various census records), born in Poland in 1857. He and his wife Josephine Skowronska (born in 1870) had four children in Poland. They emigrated to Buffalo, New York in 1895, and had eleven more children. Some people suggested that the Cyckiewicz families came from Plock in Poland, or Rypin in Russia. One federal census lists their origin as Poland/Russia. Any help in finding their village, siblings and parents would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Russ Lipp 6 Clarkes Crossing Fairport, NY 14450 585.425.2953 [email protected]

Did you try looking on Ellis Island. Make sure you spell their names everyway possible including in Polish. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell Lipp" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 7:36 PM Subject: [POLAND] Looking for Cyckiewocz >I would like to obtain any information on one of our ancestors from Poland. >His name was Mathew Cyckiewocz (also spelled Ceckiewicz and Syskiewicz in >various census records), born in Poland in 1857.

Russ, I can tell you there are Skowronski's 11 km east of Rypin (now in Poland). They are cousins of mine. Russia was the occupier of that area in the 1800's. So Rypin today is about 18,000 people.

Russ, For the name Ceckiewicz the current distribution of that name in Poland is; Puławy (5) Warszawa (1) Kuba On Feb 12, 2011, at 8:36 PM, Russell Lipp wrote: > I would like to obtain any information on one of our ancestors from Poland.

Russ: Four children born in Poland, if they survived and emigrated with parents, they probably married in USA or, if male, had to register for WWI draft. Marriage records should note place of baptism, which should lead to parents' marriage location. Note I said, marriage records, which would be the church book entries NOT the civil marriage record. Also there are eleven opportunities in church records for notations as to parents birth places or marriage. You need to see some church records. Also, if I recall correctly, Buffalo has/had a very active Polish Genealogical group. Do a google. Good hunting. [email protected]

Russ, If this is your family in the 1900 census, then this may be your family departing Hamburg, and arriving in NY in 1896. Their residence before departing Hamburg was ....Dubignewa, Russland. But there were only 3 children from Poland.
