This might be too general for anyone to help, but I've been searching for where in Poland my family is from. All I have to go on is my g-grandfather's name Adam Stepulkowski, approximate birth year, 1902, immigration date (from 1930 US census) of 1918. ANY suggestions of how to find any leads on him? His death certificate doesn't list his parents names and his 2 marriage certificates list his father as Vincenty Stepulkowski and his mother's name is different on each certificate. I would appreciate any help. Tracie Stepulkoski Ballance

More information would be helpful. You say you only know the information listed, but if you must know where and when he died (if you've seen his death certificate). On the 1930 census he is listed as divorced, but do you know the name of his wife? Brothers, sisters, children, etc.? What were the two different mother's names that you found? Was he known to live anywhere other than Michigan? It's best to share everything you have so the list can work its magic.

General response since I have not looked for Adam... however, look for the arrival documents and look for the naturalization documents (I believe that these could include Declaration of Intent, Application for Naturalization and the actual Naturalization Document). Did he come alone? Where did he go? Why? If he went to join an uncle in Cleveland... track down the uncle's records. Also, if by chance he had a passport, the application is a rich source of information.

Tracie: Have you seen this manifest? The father's name does not match, but the dates do. The mother is listed as Marianna, which could very well be shortened to Mary or Anna. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=nypl%2c&rank=0&gsfn=adam&gsln=ste*sk%3f&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=40&fh=14&recid=72064253&recoff=1+2 Or search: Adam Stempkowska -Terissa On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 6:36 PM, Tracie <dashswim@earthlink.net> wrote: > This might be too general for anyone to help, but I've been searching for > where in Poland my family is from.
