I am looking for information on Ignaz Sledziewski. Born appx 1851 in Poland and immigrated the US about 1895 with his sons Anthony and Stanley. The US 1920 census records show he was a widower. Thank you

First of all, you need to give their proper, Polish names:
Ignaz is Polish Ignacy.
Sledziewski can be either Sledziewski or Śledziewski.
Anthony is Antoni
Stanley is probably Stanisław.
It is all I can tell you for now, because information you gave is not enough.
Only name and appx date of birth is not enough. You need to know where he came from (aside Poland;)

According to "Moi Krewni" (My Family) database there are 673 persons named Śledziewski in Poland and only five of the name Sledziewski.
The name 'Śledziewski' most frequently appears in the following regions.
1. Zambrów (105)
2. Warszawa (88)
3. Mińsk Mazowiecki (61)
4. Węgrów (40)
5. Maków Mazowiecki (31)
6. Ostrów Mazowiecka (27)
7. city of £omża (17)
8. Wołomin (17)
9. city of Ostrołęka (17)
10. £omża (16)
Most of those regions are part of the historical Masovia and Podlachia provinces. Today £omża and Zambrów belong to Podlaskie Voivodship, while the remaining regions are part of Masovian Voivodship. The biggest rivers of this area are Biebrza and Narew, which flow West and - after joining with the river Bug - flow into Vistula downstream of Warsaw. This is how the regions around £omża and Zambrów have communicated since middle ages with the Baltic Sea. Corn (rye) and lumber were transported downstream, fish upstream - specifically Baltic herring, "śledż" in Polish.

The £omża and Zambrów regions were historically settled by lesser or parochial gentry, including the Śledziewskis family. They originally shared the same settlement - in this case the village of Śledzie (herrings) (today in the municipality and the district of Zambrów), only to disperse around with time. The Śledziewskis share the Zagroba (a.k.a. Zagłoba) coat of arms with 59 other families.

One of the very good sources of the old records of Śledziewski family is these site (in Polish): Katalog Szlachty (Catalogue of Nobility), katalogszlachty.com

You can search for the name "Śledziewski", or just go to this address:

The search returns 32 combined indices that reference one or more Śledziewski surnames. To get the details, klick on each index, then search and copy individual records that relate to various Śledziewskis or Śledziewskas (females).

The vital records are quite sad actually; a lot of children have died in birth or did not survive their first birthday. Many were born in the village of Śledzie and Nagórki, municipality of Zambrów, parish Zambrów.

The records are of various type:

Males born in Zambrów Parish: (1885-1886), (1883-1884), (1881-1883), etc...
Males born in Puchały Parish (1884-1885)
Males born in Piątnica Parish (1881-1884)
Males born in Szumowo Parish (1880-1887), Letter P-Z
Biograms - S bis
Biograms - M bis
Births, set 3
Nobility of Augustów Voivodship in the first half of the 19th c. Letter K
Nobility of Augustów Voivodship in the first half of the 19th c. Letter S
Modzelewski
Krajewski
Zaremba/Zaręba
Konopka
Noble males of the military age living in Zambrów municipality 1872-1874

The Biograms are particularly rich with Śledziewski names - both females and males. There must be 200 or so names to examine.

Good luck

I know Ignacz had six children. Antony, Stanley, Rose, Laura. Mary and John. They live in Maryland and Tacoma Wa (during the 20's and 30's). I think they came from Tarnow in Galicia.

No sorry

More information on Sledziewski(Sledjeski). Ignacy(Ignacz or Ignatius) Sledziewski(born appx 1849 in Poland) married to Josephine(born appx 1860 in Poland)(Ochenkoski maiden name). Her father's name was Micholay and her mother's name was Maggie Kurkoski. According to the 1910 census they arrived in the USA 1891. I believe they came into Maryland. They had two children born in Poland Anton(born 1886) and John S(born 1875). They had four children born in Baltimore, Maryland Stanley(born1895), Rosa(born 1892), Marianna Victoria(born 1900) and Bergitta(born 1901).

I cannot find them in the 1900 census and and cannot find their immigration records. Any help would be appreciated.
