kubiskay 2 Jan 2016 / #1Hello,My grandfather Mikal Bernard Kubis emigrated from Poland with his family around 1917. His fathers name was Michal and his mother Katarzyna.The place of origin listed is Galacia/Poland. Can anyone say where this might be? Ancestry.com is no help at all. I have the records of them coming on the Krownprinze Wilhelm ship and thats pretty much it.How would I go about finding their roots in Poland? please send any ideas to frierk71@gmail.-The family settled in Maspeth, Queens NY and married into CyrankowskisKimberly
Carruthers 3 Jan 2016 / #2The place of origin listed is Galacia/Poland.I have no idea if this has been answered as u requested an answer by email.However, Galacia was south-east Poland - north-west Ukraine.The map of Poland was rather different before 1918.Check: Ship's Records for next of kin .... this might give u an address in Poland.
