In recent years our family has only been in touch with the family of sister Helen, but there were supposed to be some brothers (Wallace, Joseph, Bernard, Matthew - uncertain about these names) and a sister Stella. According to my GGM's parish marriage records (Walter Podgorski, 1/8/1918, Pittsburgh), she was baptized in Strzygi, Rypin, Plock, Poland. I have not pursued the search yet into the old country. I have not had any luck finding them in either the 1910 or 1920 censuses, despite looking line by line in the Strip, nor have I found them at ellisisland.org. The family lore is that they left Poland because of disagreements with the authorities so perhaps that mistrust carried over to U.S. government record-takers too. Because of the 100 year limitations at the Diocese, I have not had any success finding any siblings with the same parents' names. I'd welcome contact with other potential family members. Thanks
