Records cannot be found when you say in or near Krakow. You have to be specific about where a person was born. This determines the parish in which they would be baptized. It also determines where civil records would be recorded. Have you received the application they filled out to get their marriage license from the City of Chicago or Cook County? Have you tried to find his ship manifest or other types of US records ... maybe naturalization papers? tina On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 5:56 PM, bruce rapacz <brucerapacz@comcast.net>wrote: > My catholic grandfather Joseph Rapacz was born in or near Krakow, Poland > on > 19 Mar 1878.
