Hi! I am fairly new to genealogy. I am researching my dad's side while my mom is researching her side. I feel as if I've hit a brick wall with my family names. Here is what I know so far: ZIEMBA: Stanley Ziemba (b: 1893 in Poland) (d: 1957 in Detroit MI) Anna Madej (b: 2 Feb 1897 in Poland) (d: 21 May 1986 in Garden City MI) They immigrated seperately in 1913 to Detroit Michigan. Anna worked for GM cleaning. Stanley worked for Aniconda Brass Co. CHILDREN: Tadeusz Joseph (My paternal grandfather) Lottie Bronislaw WIlliam Cecilia (I have immigration records that I think are theirs, the 1930 census, and an obituary for Anna. I also have pictures of their gravestones. If my immigration records are correct that would mean that Stanley's fathers name was Marcin, and Anna's mothers name would be Sofia.) KUCZALA: I have found several spellings for this on all my family records thus far. John Peter Kuczala (b: 1888 in Poland) (d: 1955 in Southfield, Michigan) Katerine Lesniak (b: 20 Oct 1892 in Poland) (d: 08 Jan 1988 in Tuscon, Arizona) They lived in Ironwood Michigan. John worked at the coal mines, and Katherine was a house wife. CHILDREN: Bernice Genevieve Stella Anne (My paternal grandmother) Clara R. Isabella Helen Lawrence Elaine (I have military form for John, and the 1930 Census, SS death record for Katherine. A little more info I have on the Lesniaks: Katherine had a brother named Walenty married to Waleria Krempa, their parents names were Mateuz Lesniak and Anna Pietyka. And 3 or 4 generations back they were Mariarz?) All my family members were Roman Catholic. Thanks soooo much for any help in guiding me in my family research, Stacey (Ziemba) LaPorte

Stacy, Do any of the records you have found show where the first ones here were born?
