Kasierski - tracing grandfather's line

My mother's maiden name in the US was spelled Kasierski. All I know from information I have is that they emmigrated to the USA around 1891 from Posan. I cannot find any immigration info in US because I think the spelling of the last name is not what it was in Poland.

Stephen Kasierski m. Maria Wacoviak around 1866
Children born in Poland: Michael 1867, William 1873, Walenty 1875,
Clementina1877, Frank 1882 and Martin (my great grandfather) 1883.

Martin m. Eva Nowacki in Webster, Masschusetts in 1905

Anyone who may have a correct spelling or an info on this family, please let me know.

Wacoviak - sholuld be Wacowiak in Polish; the other names seems to be correct.

Or Wachowiak?

my grandfather changed our names to wacoviak to walcoby
im not gravedigging i just found this on google

Have you checked the census records? They will give you an idea of what years to search for immigration records. My polish ancestors ended up in Webster also but I do not recognize your surnames.

Have you tried going to Family Search.com? I see a number of Kasierski names there. Might give you a clue.

Merged: Kasierski

My great grandfather, Martin, came to the USA with his father Stephen @late 1800's to Webster, Massachusetts. I believe they may have lived around Posen, perhaps sailed out of Hamburg, like Franz Kasierski did in 1904 on the Patricia. I cannot find any other information on Stephen and Martin and wife (my Great, Grandmother).. I do know that Martin drowned in Webster Lake at 30 and my great, great grandmother died just under three months later of a broken heart, just days before what would have been Martin's next birthday.

I am new at this, but resourceful. I just need a jump start. How do I find the database that are free or non-scam oriented.

KASIERSKI: possibly a dialectic (Belarussian-influenced?) pronunciation of Kosierski which could have been derived from the plant kosierka (Pedalium -- highly unlikely, because it grows only in India!) or the locality of Kosierady. Over 100 people in Poland sign themselves Kosierski but there isn’t a single Kasierski. (But there are 5 people surnamed Kasierski in the Dortmund area of Germany.)

Or perhaps it was derived from a mispronounced version of kosior, a long-handled tool from removing ashes from stove. Kosiorski might have been an occupational nickname given to the ashman.

Search for Stefan Kasierski, not Stephen. Also, have you seen this:

Look at # 912 and #914; Carole Marie KASIERSKI and Claudette T. KASIERSKI from Webster, Massachusetts.

From my research of my own family tree, Eva Nowacki was my great grandmother. After Martin died she went on to marry my great grandfather Michael Costen and have several children, though I haven't found any record of what happened to her after that.
