Unfortunately, Anton appears to have died between 1890-1900 as he is not listed in the 1900 census and the mother says 2 of her children have died with 3 living.  The 3 living appear in the census, and Anton is not one of them. The family seem to have been members of Sweetest Heart of Mary, and unfortunately SHOM does not have parish death records until late 1880s, which he is not in. ----- Original Message ---- From: "Terissa Schor - terissa.schor@gmail.com" To: poland-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, May 4, 2008 2:48:28 PM Subject: Re: [POLAND] Seeking ancestral village of Vincent Ostrowski , Julia Radzikowska , Anton Ostrowski Hi- Did Anton live to adulthood? When was he born? He should have a WWII draft card, which often listed town of birth.
