Hi, Dolores <DOLCAR30@aol.com> asked: > In going thru birth records from Gorzno, Poland, > I ran across this given > name "TECLESPHOR". It appears to have Greek > roots, I would think, but am not > sure. Does anyone have an interpretation of > this? I have never seen Teclesphor, but I have to wonder if it is simply a misread or mispelled version of Telesphor? In Polish that name is usually spelled Telesfor. There's more information on this name under the French version, Telesphore, here: http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=telesphore Since the name is not terribly familiar, even in Poland, people wouldn't necessarily know how to spell it correctly, and errors could easily happen. Jan Grzenia's book on Polish given names says there were 1,044 Polish males named Telesfor as of 2002, but this name had been given to children less than 100 times in the second half of the 20th century. So it's rare these days and probably considered hopelessly old-fashioned. One of the books I have on Russian names mentions it. A Google search of the Cyrillic spelling brings up mostly references to the name in Greek mythology, though there are some Websites mentioning people by that name. That's my best guess, anyway. Fred Hoffman

Thank you Cindy for the site of the Polish Atlas http://www.mimuw.edu.pl/polszczyzna/SGKPi/index.html#indexse2.html To anyone interested, I have been searching the STRUS family.

Email: rowir@esculap.pl OR robert.wiraszka@zakonmaltanski.pl Mr Wiraszka told me that the book is about the STRUS family. The book is just short of 40 pages ALL IN POLISH. So, I have asked someone to help me. But they can't do all the pages from Polish to English. It appears to have several other Surnames. Plus the STRUS Surnames are spelled as STRUSA STRUSZ STRUSY STRUSS STRUSOWA STRUSOWNA etc. I do know that the surname was pronounced "STROOSH." Is there anyone who is willing to do a few pages? I did not list the other Surnames because there are so many. Maybe one is your family.

I believe this is an old name, as it is no longer used. I have only found it on one map; a 1907 atlas. In that map it is in the Podlaskie province, (in the powiat Kolnenski). It is literally on the southernmost border between Kolnenski and Lomzynski. It sits about 13 miles east of Nowogrod and about 5 miles directly north of Lomza; (just east of the River Narew), but is in Kolnenski on that map. Given the age of the map, and it's proximity, I don't know if it would be in the Maly Plock parish (which is about 8-10 miles slightly northwest) or if records would be located in the Nowogrod or Lomza (or somewhere else for that matter). I guess a question for future reference is, are current parishes defined/delineated by powiat? It would make sense, but given the border changes from that time, I wasn't sure where to look.

You may all be interested to know what has been happening with my research. Firstly, thank you, to all who supplied information re my Mother's birthplace in the Ukraine. We honestly thought we were of totally Polish extraction! Strosowka is now called Strusuvka, and I am awaiting LDS microfilm, showing church records of that area. The most interesting, and startling thing' is the microfilm I read a few weeks ago, when scrolling down the pages looking for information re my Fathers' family. What jumped out at me was my father's christian name, and his parents christian names. Remember, all in 1919, the year my father was born. Through an LDS research attendant, we surmised that the microfilm I read, would be the one required, as my Father was born in the Gdansk area. ( yes, huge area, I know! ) Anyway, it just seemed too much of a coincidence, that they were not only in the Gdansk area, Barlozno, but the Christian names fitted. My sister, who stayed with me for a few days, is still NOT convinced, as the surnames are different. Could they be the same people? I will contact the appropriate research area for a copy of my Father's birth certificate. An interesting factor, is that the name Helena, appears in the microfim ( which incidently, looks like a census of that area ) My sister did say, that many years, after they arrived in NZ, my Father received a letter from Canada, written by a Helena Panasiuk. Could this be a relative? Dad did not reply. The surnames on the microfilm were: Jan Grzebienski, Barlozno Zofia Rajawska, Barlozno and ? their children, Alekander Grzrbienski and Stanislaw Raminski ( incidently, later killed in the war ) Now, my maiden name is Panasiuk, and I always thought that Jan and Zofia's surname was Panasiuk too. On my Father's marriage certificate, at a DP camp, it also showed my G'Mother's maiden name to be Matischak. ( not sure of this spelling ) Down a few lines, on the microfilm, it shows a Helena Raminski. Could this be the same Helena Panasiuk, my father received a letter from, in Canada? Interesting, and not alot of skeletons, we hope. My request is, what is the best website to go into, for passenger lists to Canada, after the last war? I have no idea of the date. Big ask, but I've got to start somewhere! Thanks everyone.

Thank you, to all who personally contacted me with my request for Canada passenger lists. It seems that unless I know the name of the ship, It will be difficult to obtain information. Herein lies the problem: After the war, there must have been many ships sailing to Canada. Would anyone know of a few names? The years I'm looking for could be about 1946/7/8. Does anyone out there know of any good websites to access re this information? Much appreciated. Olga Baker

Hi Marilyn: Did you mean Estella or Stephanie BEDNARCZYK was born in 1886 or 1986? Assuming you meant 1886, all I have is below. Further, KOWALSKI married into my tree, but I need the towns or years or the three childrens names and births. [I'll check my tree] What document tells you she married Julious KOWALSKI' ? Do you have any documents from your searches? Can you send more information? Once you find the part of Poland BEDNARCZYK was from, you can go to different websites that deal with that area. My BEDNARCZYK family are from Pielnia, Sanok, and Krosno Districts, in Galicia Austria. It is now called Podkarpackie Poland. The entire tree seems to be from the Carpathian Mountains; especially STRUS. Of Course, there is always the local Family History Center, where you can order LDS [Latter Day Saints] Mormon church records on microfilm. They have everyone's Surnames in births Marriages and deaths. My initial Information came through writing and visiting the town they were originally from in America. The newspaper editor can help. And from a distance, a short "Letter to the Editor" canoften stir some neighbors, family and descendants. Keep in intouch as your information come in. The smallest thing can be a link, link what the husband did, like Mining, Grocery store owner; did they own or rent? Where are the cjhildren and descendants now? A simple Google search or People Search can give direction. What are some of the relative's or friends Surnames? Sometimes they traveled together. Some sites like ancestry.com have occasional free membership and tutoring pages. You will simply need to follow every bit of info you have on the web/Internet.
