Genealogy / Betley: In search of family and family roots, can you help a soldier? [5]

Hi Eddie,

Was he married when he came to USA? In what state did he settle?

There is an immigration record for a Stanislaw Betiej (age 30), wife, Bronslawa (age28) & son, Wladyslaw (age2) arrived NYC on 8/3/1951. Threy were going to 900 Wood St., Chicago. Is this your family?

Possible match to above:
Michigan Deaths, 1971-1996
Name: Stanislaw Betlej
Birth Date: 5 Sep 1920
Death Date: 12 Sep 1981
Gender: Male
RESIDENCE: Hamtramck, Wayne, Michigan
Place of Death: Highland Park, Wayne, Michigan

To trace family in Poland, you need to know the town of birth. This can be obtained through USA records for Stanislaw & family members. Some records to get>his death record, obituary, complete marriage record (if married here), naturalization record, birth records/baptismal records for children in the USA, ss application (if all else fails!).

Once you have town of birth, let us know....we should be able to get you information on where to write for records in Poland

Genealogy / Brzeskiewicz / Kroll Names [16]

This doesn't match your immigration story, but this 1910 census sure fits your Kroll family. Wife's 1st name would be Victoria in English. She had 10 children & 3 living in 1910. Daughter Jeanette (Jania?) born abt. 1902 Poland......could put her as the 7th child.

Have you obtained Jacob's naturalization records? Should have his town of birth.

The application to marry should have both Jacob's & Jania's birth towns.

Birth

---

records for Jania's children should also list her birth town.

In case you don't have this information:

Is this town of birth?

The only liating I found for Osawa is in Russia. None for Osswa.

It could be Osova or Ossowa, both with several locations in Poland.

Are you wanting help in tracing your Brzeszkiewicz family?

Genealogy / Looking for family and/or info Surname Jewula [7]

Do a "new post" & provide town of birth.

Genealogy / looking for family or surname Kapchinsky [5]

To start tracing family, begin with known information on your parents, grandparents, etc., always going backwards in time. Records obtain for each generation, will provide information about the previous generation. Talk to family members, especially the older ones & ask questions. Obtain US records for family members: census records, birth, marriage & death records, passenger list. etc.

With more specific information, perhaps we can help more. Immigrant's first names, wife's name, children's' names & birth years for all. Where the they settled in the US & when the came.

If you prefer,, you can email me the information.

His WWII draft card does show Kamionko, but the site below and several others don't show this spelling.....bunch of Kamionka & some Kamionki. It's not shown in the Polska Atlas Dodowy Index either.

May want to obtain more US records to verify spelling & see if you can come up with a province. Also, you'll want to obtain his parents' names, including mother's maiden surname.

Genealogy / Reiman family: Seeking information [6]

Hi Montana,

Basically family history is done by tracing your family backwards in time through source records. By obtaining US records for your father, his siblings, & his parents, you will hopefully find the exact town in Europe where your family is from & your great, grandparents names. For an eample, your father's birth record may provide town of birth for his parents. Anyway, there are basic tutorials on tracing your family online, your library and/or bookstore will also have genealogical books. It's a good way to know what records will contain the information you are looking for & where to obtain those records.

Have you placed them on census records?

If you will provide birth year for your grandfather, wife's name & DOB & same for their children & where they lived, I'll be glad to look for some online records to get you started.

You can contact me by going to my profile, if you would like to do it that way.
