Genealogy / AMERICANS' DEGREE OF POLISHNESS (OR ANY OTHER ETHNICITY) [10]

I was born in the USA. I am of Polish and French descent--exactly 50% each, just like Chopin :) I am 2 1/2 generations American on each side--my grandfathers were born in Poland and France, my grandmothers were born in the USA of immigrant parents. I have a few Polish and French recipes. I can speak neither language. But that doesn't stop me from identifying with the nationalities of my ancestors and my own nationality. I enjoy the best of 3 worlds.

Genealogy / Locating my polish family Mikolajec [12]

My grandfather's mother was Anna Mikołajczyk, born perhaps 1850? Her parents were John Mikołajczyk and Victoria Szczpanic. Great-grandmother Anna was married to Sebastian Fiołek (his second wife?) and they were living at Mysłenice (Krakow) when grandfather was born. A woman from Poland told me the name means something like "Nichols" or "Nicholas" or "Nicholson". Any information on Mikołajczyk in this part of Poland would be greatly appreciated.

My great-grandmother was Anna Mikołajczyk, daughter of John Mikołajczyk and Victoria Szczepanic. Anna was born about 1850? Married Sebastian Fiołlek (2nd wife?). Lived in Mysłenice (south of Krakow) when my grandfather was born in 1887. Any information about Mikołajczyk in this area appreciated.
