Marilyn, Thanks for the note posted to the Dode Co. WI list about the DOMEK family. I know a little about this family. One of my dad's cousins was Anna Gohr (1883-1931) who married Anthony "Tony" Domek (1880-1951). They lived around Emmetsburg and Whittemore, Iowa. My Gohr family was also from what is now Poland, but the Gohrs were Lutheran. The Gohrs came to Chicago and then to NW Iowa and settled near Whittemore, Kossuth Co., IA. Tony Domek is son of Adam Domek, b. 14 Feb. 1844 in Poland, d. 19 April 1925 at Spirit Lake, Dickinson Co., IA and Barbara Zeigman, b. 1845 Germany, d. unknown. I have Adam and Barbara being married at Beaver Dam, Dodge Co., WI. I just heard from another researcher named Marge on Feb. 24th: Mjmicona@aol.com She says they were married in East Bristol, Dane Co., WI in St. Joseph's Catholic Church by Father Debecker, instead of at Beaver Dam. I don't know which is correct. I heard from another researcher, Barbara McDonald paxriverbarb@hotmail.com, on 24 Nov. 2003. She gives this information on the Adam Domek family: Adam Domek served in the Civil War, and homesteaded a farm near Fairville upon his return from the Civil War. He married Barbara Zeigman at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Their children were: Joseph, born 24 Sept. 1866 Henry, born 7 Jan. 1868 Barbara born, 20 Mar. 1870, Beaver Dam, WI, married Fred C. Miller 19 Nov. 1890, died 20 April 1964, Whittemore, IA George born 11 Dec. 1871 Mary born 8 Jan. 1873 Edmond born 14 May 1876 John born 24 Aug. 1878, married Emma Benson, died Feb 12, 1960, buried in Alexandria, MN. They had 12 children Anthony born, 7 Nov. 1880 Michael born 2 Nov. 1882 ? (not sure of the year). He was deaf and dumb, and lived his life with John. Fred born, 6 Mar. 1884 , married Clara Gappa 18 April 1906, died Nov. 1982, Fenton, IA Frank born, 16 May 1885 or 86. Maybe you can contact these other two researchers and get some answers. P.S. I also have a William Joseph Domek (1891-1964) who married Margaret Voigt (1901-1984), who was another cousin of my dad's. How is William Joseph Domek related to Adam Domek? --Glenn Gohr archives_guy@hotmail.com
