Genealogy / Komorowski clan-name Korczak [16]
Merged:
My Grandmother's father was Count Michael Komorowski. He might have been born in 1852, as he was supposedly 38 years old when he married in 1890 to Kornelia Szarzynska in Milwaukee in 1890. His occupation was listed as a Vetrinary surgeon. My great grandmother, Kornelia Szarzynska, spoke five languages fluently and graduated from a French University before coming to America. Her two half brothers, Pharmacists, Max and Charles Szarzynski who knew Michael Komoroski, already in Milwaukee, seemed to have brought them together. I don't think my grandmother ever saw her father Michael as he disappeared early in her father's marriage. No one in my family knows what happened to him. Maybe he went back to Poland. According to one cousin of mine letters in Polish talk about bitter disputes regarding his inheritance. The letters cannot be translated because they are in the older Polish language. My grandmother also did some research in the 1960s and found out she is a cousin of General Bor Komorowski. There is also supposed to be a stained glass window in a church - of St. Michael that his parents donated. I will try to find where my Polish forebears were born or lived, but on the marriage certificate it says Austria or Prussia. Any suggestions for finding out more about my ancestors? I also hit a dead end with the Szarzynski bothers
