I am also looking for Wisniewski's out of Glesno, Prussia Poland. My ggg grandparent's were Michael and Katherine (Niedzwiedzki) Wisniewski, and they emigrated to Dorr, Allegan County, Mich in 1867. But it also appears that we have close family to Wisniewski's living in Washington County, close to Radom, Illinois? I could see from census records that some of the Wisniewski's were born in Illinois. I have a copy of Michael and Katherine's original marriage record from Prussia, and they lived in a small village called Gleszczonek, maybe 1 mile from Glesno. 1 mile south of them was Wyrzysk Skarbowy (Rich Wyrzysk). Now Trok is actually a very Jewish name, you can look it up for free on www.ellisisland.org, and so is Wisniewski. You can also look up Jewish Vishnevo on google search. Many of the Jews "converted" to Catholicism prior to emigration in Prussia/Germany. Would you know anymore information or does an! y of this help? `Jacob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
