I'm attaching the tree with my Great Grandfather Michal Bednarczyk, b. 1853, who married on Jul 07 1880 Katzaryna b. circa 1854 Burnatowska, [then Michaly Moskalewicz]. You can see how I have connected them with maiden names, for my convenience. Bednarczyk Szczepan Wereszczynska Abt 1800.pdf (5347), Bednarczyk Sabat Rajchowla Burnatowski Wereszczynska.pdf (5561) Mikolaj Wereszczynska \Bednarczyk\ was born in 1820.*  Your family could be related since I do have blanks in my tree. I can only "guess-timate" the years of birth of parents-Franciszek Sabat Rajchowla \Bednarczyk\ b. 1795 Pielnia, & Klara Bednarczyk \Sabat\ b.1795 Nadolany. They had Jan 1819, Mikolaj 1820* and Katzaryna ________? Mikolaj Bednarczyk was born in 1820, Pielnia he married Apolonia Wereszczynska [guessing she was born 1825] I have found possible children Johann 1846, Jozef 1849, my GGF Michal Feb 1853-Jun 1904, John April 1858 & Joseph 1861. I'm only sure of sons John and Michal, since both lived in Forest City Susquehanna County PA USA. Michal Bednarczyk b. 1853 had seven children. Mary was my Grandmother abt 1889 & she married Georg STRUS b. May 6 1882? If you would you be so kind as to continue our communications without deleting the previous email, I will be grateful. Otherwise we may lose communication for a period of time again.   Can you please share your Family tree and I will send mine.....that is if you really want to pursue these connections to completion.  "smiles" I have so many surnames. The unusual ones should be connected in the subject line in order for me to follow up. Ex. Bednarczyk Strus This took me quite some time to collect so I hope no one is thinking I want them to do my research. I've connected with some relatives and trees from ancestry.com; I've visited various LSD, Libraries, Churches etc. Thank you all....Joanie Wielgus ---------------------------------------------------- --- On Mon, 2/16/09, ibaranski <[email protected]> wrote: From: ibaranski <[email protected]> Subject: Surname Wereszczynska To: "peekaboobrat" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, February 16, 2009, 9:47 AM Joan, I noticed that your list included the name -  WERESZCZYNSKA -.  I also have that name a "Marianna Wereszczynska"  married an  Antoni Baraniecki and their 1st son Stanislaw was born about 1726 in Zukow.  It is possible that Antoni and Marianna came to Zukow from someplace else.  Could there be a connection between your Wereszczynska and mine?  Zukow is located in the area that is now Ukraine.  In 1945 the area changed and the people were relocated.     It is a rather unusual name and I wondered if there could be a connection? Look forward to hearing from you. I plan to write my cousin about my Strus who married a Kilar. Irene, [email protected]
