The Polish came to Hilliards @ 1879. They had no resident priest so many were buried at St Mary's just 8 miles NW. These towns are just 20 miles south of Grand Rapids. Many of the Polish went to Grand Rapids for work. I have many many Wisniewski names in my database and in the St Stanislaus Cemetery in Hilliards but have not connected any of them with yours. We also have the names Biliski and Marcinek(which I believe is the same as Marciniak.) Janet
