My GGGrandfather was John Krancki (as per his marraige cert of 1883) he is the son of Matt Krancki and Mariannae Mastowska. He was married in Lemont Ill. to Julia Prell and had 9 children. Mary, Martha, Michael, Frank, Helen, Anthoinette, Rose, Walter, Stella(Stacia). The last child was born in 1903 and they moved to Juneau County, Wi. by 1910 Census. Their name then shows up as Kransky. By 1920 census the name is written as Kranski. It would be great to find some sort of connection between these two families. Do you have an knowledge about the lake in Portage County, Wi., called Kranski Lake (Kraneks) ? Thank you
