Genealogy / Surnames: Sierzputowski & Skrocki [25]

Looking for any information on these two surnames. My great grandfather, Boniface (Benjamin) Sierzputowski married Ludinka (Louise) Skrocki in Chicago in the early 1900's, shortly after they emigrated here. They had 4 daughters: Hedwig (Harriet), Lillian, Helen, & Jenny. Family lore has it they came from Krakow. I'm specifcally looking for their parents & siblings. Well, heck, I'll take any information. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide. GGEORGE

My great grandfather's name was Benjamin also, and he was from Poland. Try Boniface, Bonifacy, etc. I found him by accident on a WWI Draft Registration.

Genealogy / Surnames: Sierzputowski & Skrocki [25]

So sorry! I'd had no responses and got out of the habit of checking this site. Who are your great grandmother's siblings? I don't know what city or village they are from in Poland, just the family thing about Krakow. And you're right, the Sierzputowski name is not that common. I've found some in Michigan but am unable to tie them to my family. Any names you can provide would help. I do know that Benjamin had a brother, Joseph, who was living with them on the 1910 census in Chicago. Thank you! Gayle
