Hi Marilyn: Did you mean Estella or Stephanie BEDNARCZYK was born in 1886 or 1986? Assuming you meant 1886, all I have is below. Further, KOWALSKI married into my tree, but I need the towns or years or the three childrens names and births. [I'll check my tree] What document tells you she married Julious KOWALSKI' ? Do you have any documents from your searches? Can you send more information? Once you find the part of Poland BEDNARCZYK was from, you can go to different websites that deal with that area. My BEDNARCZYK family are from Pielnia, Sanok, and Krosno Districts, in Galicia Austria. It is now called Podkarpackie Poland. The entire tree seems to be from the Carpathian Mountains; especially STRUS. Of Course, there is always the local Family History Center, where you can order LDS [Latter Day Saints] Mormon church records on microfilm. They have everyone's Surnames in births Marriages and deaths. My initial Information came through writing and visiting the town they were originally from in America. The newspaper editor can help. And from a distance, a short "Letter to the Editor" canoften stir some neighbors, family and descendants. Keep in intouch as your information come in. The smallest thing can be a link, link what the husband did, like Mining, Grocery store owner; did they own or rent? Where are the cjhildren and descendants now? A simple Google search or People Search can give direction. What are some of the relative's or friends Surnames? Sometimes they traveled together. Some sites like ancestry.com have occasional free membership and tutoring pages. You will simply need to follow every bit of info you have on the web/Internet. Looking forward to hearing from you.......Joanie Wielgus PS The Internet is running very slow for me. So I can't get you the sites.
