Bonnie, There are two possibilities for that street (ulica Brukowa) in or near Warsaw, namely, in the northern suburb of Łomianki or the eastern suburb of Ząbki. In addition, there are many other locations in Poland having a street by that name. You can check it out using the Polish on-line map found at http://mapa.szukacz.pl/ In the form on the right enter "Brukowa" in the field labeled "Ulica" and click on "Pokaż". You should get 16 hits, three of which are in or near Warsaw. Zoom in on the map and you will eventually actually see the named street.

Roman, Thank you so much for your help. I'm glad to know that there is at least a street by that name in or near Warsaw. I'll definitely bookmark the site and check out some of those other locations. Thank you!

Bonnie, I also found the ship passenger list when Czeslaw immigrated in 1913. He was going to Bayonne by his brother Ludwik. Ludwik's WWI & WWII Draft Cards stated that he was born in Tlucznyce & Tlucznice respectively. I looked on a map and found a town called Tluszcz about 20 miles NE? NNE? of Warsaw, and another one about 30 miles N, a little NE of Warsaw.
