Dolores, It looks like Staw. There are several places in Poland with that name. Since it says he was from Russia, you should figure out which one was in Russia in 1912. :) Tina Original Message: ----------------- From: Dolores Konopa szal@webtv.net Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:00:48 -0400 To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PBS] POLANDBORDERSURNAMES Digest, Vol 2, Issue 290 Hi folks, I decided to day to just try inputting the first name of my husband's uncle - Jozef, and did locate him and his sister Marianna. Their last name was listed on Ancestry as KIRZARA, it is actually KUZARA. They were traveling with an uncle going to their father Walenty at 59 Beck St Buffalo NY. On the ship's papers they left their paternal grandmother Maria JABLONSKA (don't know if this is her maiden name or if she had remarried). The uncle left his wife, Angieska (I am presuming it to be Valentine's sister) and I think the last residence is Straw (?)... I have tried the following spelling for the uncle as Mikula, Mikuta and was wondering if anyone else can tell me what they think the spelling is or where Seredina or Staw is or was near... Name: Antoni Mihula Arrival Date: 11 May 1912 Age: 30 Years Estimated birth year: abt 1882 Gender: Male Ethnic Background: Polish Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany Ship Name: Barcelona Port of Arrival: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Friend's Name: Walenty Kurara (on the ships papers listed as Brother-in-Law) Last Residence: Russia Birthplace: Seredina, Russia Microfilm Roll Number: T840_102 Thank you in advance...
