Genealogy / Trying to build Polish Family Tree... Too Many inconsistencies. [12]
Evening Forum,
In an effort to try and build my Polish Family Tree (From Me)... Going backwards.... All I seem to find are too many inconsistencies with my families genealogy.
My Parents were born here in the United States (Father 1917), (Mother 1918).
The problem I come across on my Mother's side of the Family Tree is variances of the spelling of here Last Name... I've come across Iwick (the version I grew up knowing) as well as find Iwic and even Iwuc in my research. Another problem to my Mother's side... I have the actual obituary for my GrandMother (her Mother) stating the maiden name to be Peksar when trying to find my GrandMother... I don't find Peksar but rather Popiel. Which is actually the maiden of my GrandMother from my Father's Side.
Now for my Father's side. I find two (2) records for my GrandFather.
1. Wladyslaw (I'm guessing Polish for Walter) and the last name of Kozlowski (1894)
2. Walter Koziol (1893).
Is it two (2) different people? OR an error in my GrandFathers records?
The Names for the Great GrandParents from my Father's side is as Follows:
Great GrandFather: John Kozlowski (GrandFather's Dad).
Great GrandMother: Annie Ostrowska (GrandFather's Mother).
Great GrandFather: John Popiel (GrandMother's Dad).
Great GrandMother: Annie Suchoerwska (GrandMother's Mother).
The only reference I have as to location for anyone states Russia / Poland.
Sorry for the novel.
Thank You
Alan
