Hello Peggy, Thank you for giving a little more information. Note that the name DOBRYDNIA or place name of Orzechowa do not exist. In 1990 and 2002, there were no people in Poland with the DOBRYDNIA surname, however there were 206 adults in 1990 and again 206 in 2002 in Poland. There were 10 places listed at http://mapa.szukacz.pl named Orzechowo. There are 20 places listed, which begin with the letters Orzechow. It looks like you are going to need to find some record, which will give you another place name, like the gmina (administrative district), powiat (county) or wojewodztwo (province). I know must be very frustrated with your search, but there has to be something somewhere, that will give you another clue. Please tell us what documents have you f ind in the in US? Also, were there any other relatives of hers, who also came to this country?

There may be only one exact spelling Dobrydnia from Orzechowa at Ellis Island. Here is the manifest for the family arriving in 1922. It is typed!!! No help. This page and next page. Note number of naturalization certification on first page: 3-180151- applied in 3/14/40. Note Anna b. 'Rodnianka' - will this help pinpoint Orzechowa? Baby Mieczylaw also listed as b. Orzechowa. His naturalization papers may be of help also. *http://tinyurl.com/32edhp* Here is how to interpret the numbers on the manifest page in order to order naturalization papers. http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/Manifests/occ/ In 1910, Nikodem Dobrydnio, transcribed as Dobrydmo, was going to Philadelphia; his closest relative in Poland was his father in Orzechowce, Lomza. Nikodem was going to his brother Izador and was travelling with his brother-in-law, line 6, whose name I cannot decipher; the name of his wife in Orzechowce, Lomza is listed. This page and previous page. *http://tinyurl.com/22zqga* Regards, Mary Tina Ellis wrote: ...but there has to be something somewhere, that will give you another clue.

Peggy, If this is your family, note that both Izador and Anna had been the US prior to 1922; the dates are given. They were going to Anna's father, Jan Daszkiewicz in Philadelphia in 1922. There is a manifest for Jan Deskievicz, married, going to Philadelphia in 1906: http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?pID=102247011377 Perhaps a search at ancestry.com would yield previous immigrations to the US of Izador and Anna.

Peggy, After rereading your post from Digest #321, I see that you do not mention the name of your grandmother who arrived in 1898 at Ellis Island nor that she was related to the Dobrydnia family. If you would provide the surname of the family you seek and the link to your grandmother's manifest, perhaps we can help - now that we have found the information for the post you cited from br38y about Dobrydnia who was also from Orzechowa. You can use the Steve Morse gold form search to find immigrants from Orzechowa as well as other family members. I find no one from exact spelling or sounds like Orzechowa using that method, so the name of your grandmother would be helpful. http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html (white form) http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/eidb/ellisgold.html (gold form) As Tina indicated, documents in the US are your first recourse in searching for information. Often, our searches have to be for related family members, when we can find nothing on the person in our direct line. Their naturalization papers, death certificates, Social Security applications, etc., may yield information in this sideways search.
