I've had a closer look at the hand written letter that i recieved, and it does look like it could be either Mikdaj, or Mikolaj. So then i think i will search for Mikolaj Waryszczak, as most people have suggested. All my searching for this name will be in polish, as it seems my history remains in Poland, this particular person was possibly born around 1870/1880. When i did a search on http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html , it came up with only 9 finds'. Which is a good thing, not so many.... Thanks for everyones' help here... Bobby.
Ship manifest for Mikolaj Waryszczak shows he was from Kulaszna, Austria. It should be Kulaszne. It's misspelled. He arrived in the US in 1907 at the age of 40. You can find his ship manifest at this site: http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?pID=102158070303. You will need to register with the Ellis Island website. It's free, and they will not send you spam. You can find it on a map using this site: http://mapa.szukacz.pl/. Type in Kulaszne in the box under the words Miejscowosc / kod pocz., and click on your enter key. It is very close to the southern border of Poland. This was Austrian territory when he was born.
