Surnames: Omernik Bednarz Stroik Kontni Lepinski Pellowski Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/DFC.2ACE/407.447.608.2 Message Board Post: I just stumbled across your message from several years ago and I have some information which may be of assistance, if you don't already have it. Victoria Stroiks' parents were, Andreas Stroik (b 1802, d 1/26/1868, married 1824) and Mariannan Pellowski (b. 1805 d. 4/21/1861) both were born in Lipusz, Prussian Poland. Marianna died at Lippusch, County Berent, West Prussia, Andreas died at Sharon, Portage, Wisconsin. Victoria Stroik (b 12/12/1825, d 9/16/1917) married Albert Jospeh Omernik on 1854. They had one child that I know of, Joseph J. Omerik. Joseph (b 3/19/1869, d 5/27/1946) had two marriages. His first marriage was to Francisca Lepinski and they had 10 Omernik children (Henry, Damien, Adam, Rosella, Sophia, Alex, Nick, Ernest, Onufry and Clara) Francisca died on 1/1/1915. Joseph remarried to Leokadia Kontni (b. 3/11/1898 d. 1/26/1931) n 7/3/1916 and had six Omernik children (Francis, Emily, Stanley, Josie, Barnaby, and Benigna). Francis is my maternal grandmother and I believe that she is the only surviving child. Hope this information helps - please send me anything you have which could help me on my tree. FYI, Francis married Michael Bednarz (from northern Wisconsin) and I cannot locate anything on his tree. Thanks.
