In one of my records I have female version of a surname that does not follow the rule below: Male---Slawik, Female---Slawikin charles singmore <singmore@gmail.com> wrote: Absolutely, positively Madej and Mathea are not the same names! Not even remotely close other than both start with letter 'M'! Also, in the contemporary Polish, there is no feminine version of the name Madej. In the old days (like 70+ years ago), a wife of Madej would be sometimes called Madejowa, and a daugther Madejówna, but basically the name in the official records would be Madej for male or female. Just a quick lesson in Polish male/female last names. Only the names that end with - ski/ska & -cki/cka have both male/female forms. All the others even if they end with a vowel, like Maciejko, Noga, do not have male/female ending. If you folow that simple rule in 99% of cases you will be correct.

Tina, Regarding my grandmother...if you go to the document located at ellisisland.org and do a passenger search for Luczyka, Karolina...you see that there is a cousin in Syracuse, NY she was going to. I can't read the writing to get that name. If you can read it, I could use it to further my research. Thanks again.

I am stuck. For years everyday I have been working to solve two problems with my grandparents but without success.Tina also tried but nothing worked. The biggest problem is that the census of 1900 (Illinois,Cook County, Lemont) stated that Max & Rosa were married for ten years while the manifests state. that they were single-something is wrong so I looked at the New York City Groom list and found one entry. .Against my judgement I send away for the certificate which when I got it all was foreign information.It was for 1892. I sent away for it for I learned surnames could be spelled different. Her last name was! I then looked in Michigan and I also looked in Menominee where they settled and found nothing, They immigrated in 1891. 2. Max according to one obit(May 4,1926)had either Samuel Israel and the other Israel,Ida Weintraub Hertzberg, Aaron. I found out that he had eight siblings--three I know as Jacob,Samuel and Israel-and no mention of Aaron or Ida was made .I sent away for their death certificates but had wrong parents. I wonder if I was sent the wrong people. The brothers immigrated in 1903 from Bremen Port. To conclude--I would like to be straighten out. I hope that someone can send me the corrected obit for grandfather, It could be in a Jewish paper as well. I would like other names of his siblings as well. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I am looking for the town my grandmother came from. On the ship's manifest it was spelt as follows: Pydicia, Galicy in Austria.

The first letter is definitely not a "P". Check the column to the left where is says Polish and the character is very different. The surname in the 3rd line down starts with the same character, possibly a "J" Jacko, or a "D" Dacko as suggested by Roman. Check a few manifest pages on either side of your particular page and find that letter again in a word you know. Time consuming, but sometimes the only way. Also, letter just prior to the last letter looks more like an "N" (as in Karolina) that a "C".

Hello Stacy, I might be able to help you with the Madej surname as mine have also come from Budy Glogowskie, Poland. Zofia Wajsowicz married Filip Madej probably before 1883. Zofia Wajsowicz was my great grand aunt. This information was obtained by writing to the parish priest, Fr. Pawel Zimny. Originally he set my letter aside but found it recently and answered my questions about the Wajsowicz family. Also used some microfilms at the Family History Center to glean additional facts. Found the marriage of Zofia's parents that way! If you look at stevemorse.org, use the gold form and type in the surname Madej with the village of Budy. You will find all who have left from there. It is very neat and organized way to look at all the manifests of those from that locality. I have recently discovered some Madej family in the parish of St. Hedwig in Detroit, gotten some online death notices, checked census and immigration records and found one grave in St. Hedwig Cemetery by accident. Still more to do and it is possible to obtain more information about your family. Don't give up and if you would like to write to me privately, please do. I will look in the Madej folder for additional names and info. Regards, Valerie

My gparents were Russian Orthodox, not Roman Catholic. According to the census, they said they were Polish. Would the PRCU still help? Is it possible that someone from Polish Historical Society or something similar would help by going to the church, perhaps with my donation in hand? Pat

My maternal grandfather Georg STRUS b. Abt May 06 1881 was said to have been in the Prussian Army. Georg was born in Worblik Szlacheckie/Krolewski Austria [Poland]. The map, I found, from a time before his emigration, from Austria Hungary, shows Wroblik as part of Austria Hungary. George STRUS Immigrated to America in 1903. Before 1903, family said he was in the Prussian Army as a horseman. Deceased sons always said he deserted the army to come to America. Is there anyway of locating miltary records of my grandfather's miltary career? ----------------------- Georg STRUS' father Joseph STRUS [married Anna n.Krawec BURKA] born circa 1858 was said to have been the mayor of the town they lived in. Georg STRUS was from Wroblik Szlacheckie Austria [Poland]. So, we can only assume the town was WS or a nearby town. Is there anyway of finding out which town Joseph STRUS was mayor during the time of the latter part of the 19th century? -------------- Was Joseph STRUS' spouse, Anna n.Krawec BURKA's maiden name Krawec, and then married a BURKA before STRUS? N.B. Some of Joseph and Anna STRUS' children were Audrez [Andrew] b. 1877; Pauline, Tekla "Tillie"; and possilbly...Anna, Joseph, John, Jan, Michal, Katzarina, Leo, etc. Thank you, Joan Wielgus website of interest to all..... http://climatecrisis.org/ --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

Listers, I am about to write a letter (with a donation) to the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Chicago to request marriage and baptismal records. I have a couple of questions first. About how much money should I send? I was thinking $50. Too much? Too little? I want to ask that they use it for the children in some way. Secondly, how should I address the opening? Right Reverend? Just Reverend? Or just as it is listed on the site? The person I will contact is listed as Dean John Adamcio, Archpriest. Pat

What part if Austria did your grandmother cane from-the reason that I asked was that my grandmother was born in Lenberg, Austria which became part of Poland,then Ukraine. That is why I am stuck. Maybe that is why you are stuck! I have written several letters to Poland, the last one a friend wrote in Polish as a last result- Maybe we can help the other. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
