Tiffany and A.F. I found this in the morning paper in my area. Edward Anthony Baranowski Born in Allegheny County, PA on Jul. 28, 1918 Departed on Jul. 20, 2008 and resided in Weirton, WV. Edward Anthony Baranowski, 89, of Weirton, passed away Sunday, July 20, 2008 in the Weirton Medical Center. Born July 28, 1918 in Allegheny County, PA, he was the son of the late John and Frances Wasielewska Baranowski. Edward was also preceded in death by his sons Richard Baranowski and Michael Sirotnik; brothers Chester Baranowski, Walter and Stanley Druzik and sister Sophie Bendis. Edward retired from the Weirton Steel Division of National Steel where he worked as a pipefitter. He was a member of St. Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church and an avid gardener. Most of all, he was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. During World War II, he served as Motor Machinist Chief Petty Officer 1st Class in the United States Coast Guard. He received commendation from General McArthur and Admiral Barbey for his participation in 13 invasions aboard a Coast Guard-Manned LST, operating in the Pacific. Mr. Baranowski is survived by his wife Alberta Jados Baranowski, brother Ted Druzik both of Weirton, grandchildren Jeffrey Paul Baranowski of Jackson, MI, Michael Sirotnik of Weirton and Jason Sirotnik of New Cumberland, WV; close family members Ed and Bonnie Zagula, Debbie, David and Matt Zagula, Pam Smoljanovich and daughter in law Kitty. Friends will be received Wednesday from 12PM until the 2:30PM funeral services at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton. Reverend Father Dean Borgmeyer will officiate. Interment will be in St. Paul Cemetery with Military Services being conducted by the Weirton Honor Guard and the American Legion Firing Squad.

But I only know she was born in Turosl ... in the Masurian Lakes region. this would be close to Poznan, but in the Lomza region for her. I know her Father's name was Piotr Baranowski, born in 1876 and dies in 1950 and I am told is burried in Turosl so I assume that's where he came from, but that's as far as I go back. Grandma came to the US as a teenager in 1935 after marrying Stanislaw Bognacki who was born in the US but raised and was from the same area in Poland. I know there is a big hotel, Hotel Baranowski in the Lakes region. I doubt this is any relation of ours ... in my family they were all farmers with no means to speak of and a lot of children. There is a large group of Baranowskis in Connecticut, but also not any recent (if any at all) relation of to me and mine. Please let me know if this rings any bells for you. I know Grandma had a lot of brothers and sisters, including one sister who is still living (in Vegas I think). I would be very interesting in knowing anything about the Baranowski's that you find ... with all those children, who knows! We are probably all related!
