Fred, Have you checked which records the transcribers used to find the info on Poznan marriages? Most will have come from FHL Films; ordering and reading these should give you more information on your family and hopefully also take you further back in years. Are you familiar with the library catalogue at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp and using Family History Centres? Some Poznan records are also now online as digital images: http://labs.familysearch.org/ and follow record search. Good luck. Bronwyn.

I thought I gave you a link for the draft? Here it is, but by subscription unless you can get access via a public library: http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=6482 What I use? Maybe just see what I have written on my beginner's resources page: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/resources.html I use http://www.Ancestry.com for 1930 census, but many prefer Heritage Quest for 1920 and earlier, as it is free thru many public libraries. See info about that on my resources page. HQ does not have much 1930 and the drawback of using it is they usually only index head of houshold. About the draft, John was too old, I've lost track of who was born when/where, but only men in your family born 1875-1900 would be of the right age to have had to report to the draft board. Maybe it was 1870, but I think 1875 was the cutoff date. Birth certificates also sometimes have father's origin, but that's less likely to be true with earlier than later records. You have been advised by someone else to try the church records, and maybe you'll have luck with them. Also, sometimes the census records will say what town or region people and/or their parents were from instead of just the country. It is a rarity, but always worth checking all the censuses you can get, in case you might find some gem on one or more of them.

Marcin Szulc (Martin Schultz) was born, according to his Wisconsin obituary, on November 11, 1832, birthplace unknown. His first wife, Malgorzata (Margaret) Bannik was born about 1840. They were married November 4, 1860 in Grylewo parish. Both Marcin and Malgorzata were Catholic and from Laskownice. Marcin was listed as 25 years old at the time of his marriage-born in 1834 which differs from the birth year listed in his obituary. They had a son, Walenty( Valentine) born December 26, 1861 in Laskownice, Grylewo parish. Malgorzata died September 3, 1866 in Laskownice. Marcin married Katarzyna ( Catharina) Laskowska who was born about 1846. Her parents were Peter Laskowski and Constanncia Nowak. Marcin and Katarzyna were married January 27, 1867 in Golancz parish, Wagrowiec, Poznan. Their first child, my grandmother Josepha (Josephine) was born in Ohio in 1870. The family subsequently moved to Wisconsin. Additionally, we know that a Dorothea Szulc died in the Golancz parish on November 2, 1866 at age 75. I am hoping to verify that Dorothea is Marcin's mother and to find Marcin's birthplace and the name(s) and birthplaces of his parents and siblings. Much of the information about Marcin's "Polish" life has been found in the Poznan Project data. Various Wisconsin websites have given me information about Martin and his family in America. Any help and/or suggestions in furthering my research would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Fred Holzknecht

You might find what village they were from in a World War 1 Draft Registration Card. I tried searching for one on John Wozniak and there were too many hits for me to view every one, trying to guess which one was yours. http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=6482 If you want this information and have any idea what years the men in the family were born, who were born between 1875 and 1900, possibly from the census records you say you have, then please post that information to help SKS narrow their search if you don't have access to the WW1 data yourself. It would also help if you could say where they were most likely to be living in 1917-1918. There were a lot of John Wozniaks in Chicago if I recall correctly.

Apollonia Wozniak and Frank Wilkosz were born in Poland, died in Duluth. At the time of her death, Apollonias brother John Wozniak was listed as surivor. I found them in the census and SS reports. Stephen F. Wilkosz and siblings were born and died in Duluth, MN John Wozniak had a son Edward Wozniak, born about 1906 in Duluth. Edward Wozniak had a son Leroy Wozniak, and a dtr. Valeria. They were born in Duluth about 1933 -1937. We attended St. Marys Star of the Sea Polish Catholic Church. In 2003 I was blessed to find someone who had done the tree, and was almost completed. Such luck!! I didn't need to do any searching on my own....I was blessed. I am just getting started with dads. I did enter Wilosz and Wozniak in 2003 also, but I have had a change of email address. My search ended when I recieved the Maleska information so soon.

Hi Tina The only information I have about any family in Ukraine /Poland is Below. My Grandparents (Maria and Mychailo) came to Australia from Naples on 24th April 1949. I know they had contact with relatives in Poland/Ukraine/Germany for a while but ceased contact not long after. They never spoke of their relatives to us. Not sure if you can help but even pointing me in the right direction would be excellent. Thanks again.

There are 93 people listed in the Social Security Death Index with the surname Wilkosz, but without knowing when and where they passed away, as well as when and where Stephen and his siblings were born, it is hard to narrow down or check other databases. http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com > On 12/8/08, Marcy <[email protected]> wrote: >> >.... >> Now I want to search for Francis (Frank Wilkosz) born in Poland 1864-1939. >> Married in Poland to Apollonia Wozniak, 1866-1935. >> >> Stanislawa first dtr was born in Poland 1896-1965.
