Genealogy / Trying to build Polish Family Tree... Too Many inconsistencies. [12]

To try and cover the last 2 responses / posts.

My problem seems to insufficient records from Poland forward.
I have found records from my Grandfather that states Birth years from 1893 to 1895.
The records also show the same Family members.
1 record shows him as Walter Koziol the other as Wladyslaw Kozlowski.

Were the names changed due to pronunciation or shortened for processing purposes?

Thank You terri. So, that clarification helps eliminate 1 of the records found that was in question.
Because, if the Great GrandMother died 1892 how could the GrandFather be born 1893 or later.

Antonina h.? Ostrowska *1819 +20.07.1892 Środa Wlkp.,poch.Góra k.Inowrocławia

The above line.... from your previous post has me wondering.
Antonina could be Annie. Is the 1819 a year of birth? Is the 20.07.1892 a death date?

Because, if it is... Antonina passed away before my GrandFather was born.
So,I'm probably guessing NOT related

Hi TheOther,

Thanks for the suggestions... some I will follow-up with... But a majority of what you listed, I have already gone down that avenue only to run into a wall.

Part of what I uncovered though... My GrandParents did NOT come through Ellis Island BUT rather through Boston Massachusetts... Which kind of makes sense for where I live.

The LDS databases seem to be my drawback that's where I'm coming up with all the inconsistencies.

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
