    3. I have a little information for you on OSTAFIN's found in my family tree. None though seems to fit your timeframe. It seems that Walenty Ostafin traveled with Michael Kucyba, a great uncle of mine, to the USA. They arrived at Ellis Island in February 1905. They were from the town of Okonin in Galicia. Walenty was about 24 years old at the time and was sponsored in the US by Wojeich Ostafin. His destination according to Ellis Island was Detroit, MI. Farther back than that, I have some sketchy info on a Joseph Ostafin (Oslafin?) who married Victoria Kucyba sometime around 1830. According to my cousin (our family historian) they had 7 kids: Martin b:1832, Maria b:1834, Catharina b:1836, Andrzej b:1840 d:1858, Marianna b:1843, Mathais b:1846 and Jan b:1850 d:1851. For your information, the town Okonin is located about halfway between Tarnow and Rzeszow. Alan
