Dear Charles, I am sure by now you found the immigration records of Katherine and her child Andrew on CastleGarden.org already. I am just curious - where do you have the information from that Walenty may have come from Golejewko in Wielkopolskie? I am researching in that area and I also know someone else who has researched his family from Golejewko. Maybe he or I can help at some point.

Dear Andre, When researching my mother-in-law's heritage in Alsace Lorraine, I came upon a site called www.geneanet.org which was exceptionally helpful because of its French roots. I did not have a clue as to where my grandfather came from. I checked geneanet and saw that several of the researchers had Lukowiaks coming from Golejewko in Wielkopolskie. I have not yet explored the LDS films from the area. I hope this helps..........charles Andre Switala <andre@switala.net> wrote: Dear Charles, I am sure by now you found the immigration records of Katherine and her child Andrew on CastleGarden.org already.
