Genealogy / Sierzputowski, finding villages in Poland, Lomza region. [12]
Hello, I looking for some answers about my families history. My great grandfather, Marcel Sierzputowski, immigrated from Poland in 1910. On his Declaration of intention he wrote down Baczach, Lomzgnskie Poland as his home. I can not seem to find a town or village named Baczach. I know it my be a missing spelling, but any guesses on where he meant? Also he marked that that his wife, Bronislawa, was from Ochanki. I do not know where that is either.
Also it says that when he first came over his name was Marzell Scherschputowski. I have a feeling that was an Ellis Island worker spelling it phonetically, I just want to make sure. He settled in Cleveland Ohio and had 6 children. He might have had a brother or two. I am not sure of this. I know my grandfather change the name Sierputowski for some reason, but now sure why.
