Genealogy / Trying to retrace my family (Misiak) [9]
hi all im a newbie here and im trying to learn as much about my past as possible. i have hit a few snags. my great grandfather and g grandmother came over to the
US through Boston. they married in Boston and settled in Pennsylvania. i tried to find the ship used, their birth places etc. here is what i know.......
my great grandfathers name was John Misiak. he lived either 3 miles north of Krakow (sorry for spelling) or 30 minutes north of Krakow. he worked in a Salt Mine i was told. while in Boston, his family worked on or owned tobacco farms. since he was a miner in Poland he moved to Pennsylvania to become a coal miner.
im not sure of my great grandmothers maiden name and i don't know much about her yet.
i tried Ellis Island and all the others that i know and all searches come up empty.
any tips i would appreciate. maybe there are some other Misiak's on this forum that may help.
