There has been some evidence of Lithuanian influence in this family line as well. Apparently these people could'nt stay put. Criminals??

Genealogy / Help with these Polish names: Pelagia and more. [13]

Firstly, Thank you for your replies! It has been a strange journey to get this far.
This line of my family has always been a bit of an enigma. They claimed Polish heritage and have plenty of Polish connections. An example of this is that Lawrence settled in Krakow Wisconsin USA and is buried in the Polish National Catholic cemetary there. The immigration papers indicate Polish/German origin. Its been really hard to nail down a specific area. This Alsace-Lorraine thing really adds to my confusion. CRAP! Thanks again.

I've been doing some research and came across some great- uncles and aunts. I am unfamiliar with some names and was curious if you native Poles had any comment.

Micejistous: We called him uncle Mahlon (mail-on)

Pelagia: We called her aunt Pauline

Alsose Laurrane, Poland: This is where my great-aunt Martha was born, I think this may be where my great grand-parents were from.

Any help or comment is appreciated.

Feedback / Why do people post on polish forums [27]

Because its better than watching television or having a shallow conversation with a neighbor/co-worker.
