Hello Stacy, I might be able to help you with the Madej surname as mine have also come from Budy Glogowskie, Poland. Zofia Wajsowicz married Filip Madej probably before 1883. Zofia Wajsowicz was my great grand aunt. This information was obtained by writing to the parish priest, Fr. Pawel Zimny. Originally he set my letter aside but found it recently and answered my questions about the Wajsowicz family. Also used some microfilms at the Family History Center to glean additional facts. Found the marriage of Zofia's parents that way! If you look at stevemorse.org, use the gold form and type in the surname Madej with the village of Budy. You will find all who have left from there. It is very neat and organized way to look at all the manifests of those from that locality. I have recently discovered some Madej family in the parish of St. Hedwig in Detroit, gotten some online death notices, checked census and immigration records and found one grave in St. Hedwig Cemetery by accident. Still more to do and it is possible to obtain more information about your family. Don't give up and if you would like to write to me privately, please do. I will look in the Madej folder for additional names and info. Regards, Valerie

Hello Valerie. I have a ancestor who was listed as Mathea in Germany . I wonder if it is a female variation of Madej or is that thought too far out?
