Genealogy / Borysewicz (Borysiewicz?) family in Derewna, Osadnik? [6]

Family History Center usually refers to area research centers run by The Church Of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) They have microfilm records from all over the world. You have to order the microfilm at a local LDS research center, and once it arrives one can view it there. This is from the Family Search Catalog and refers to the microfilm from Derewno(their spelling)

1759-1900 records, Roman Catholic Church Derewno- Roman Catholic Church records (births, marriages, deaths) for Derevno, Oshmi︠a︡ny, Vilʹna, Russia; later Derewno (Stołpce), Nowogródek, Poland; now Dzeraŭnai︠a︡, Stoŭbtsy, Minsk, Belarus. Text in Polish, Latin and after 1848 in Russian.

As far as land records I have no answer. They may be in the archives in Belarus, or even in Lithuania. I do know of the area of Derewna and the villages to the north. My Bartoszewicz family came from Rudnia Nalibocka which is about 20 miles or so north of Derewna. If you are on facebook, there is a group you can join called "Polish Nowogrodek Family Ties" the members are persons who have family ties within the Nowogrodek region, with most having ties to Derewna, Jankowicze, Rudnia Nalibocka, Kamien, Naliboki . The group has over 200 members. Someone there may be able to give some ideas for your search.

I found the baptismal entry online for Andrej (1893) and also his brother Michael (1890) These records are from the area once known as Galicia, and are in Latin. The entries list parents names as well as grandparents names, and at far right in entry are the sponsors names.

Michael's entry has more information on grandparents names than Andrej's has, but the surnames are difficult to read

• 
  Andrej 1893
  
• 
  Michael 1890

Hello Latte,

I know of an Antoni Klaczkiewicz, 1883-1953, and his wife Maria, 1884-1973. They immigrated to USA in 1951 as displaced persons. I think my great uncle Ludwik Bartoszewicz was their sponsor as their arrival manifest lists my great uncles address in USA. Was Antoni related to you?

The only ship lists that I know of are for civilian refugees (displaced persons) who were transported from camps in Africa, and some from Europe to UK. These lists are in the following link. They are not indexed, so one would have to look through each ships passenger list for surnames.

Genealogy / Looking for Dziekanczyk family origins and more [6]

Hi Linda,

I've been visiting a Polish website for some time now. They have been indexing parishes in Poland and are always updating their work.

I did a search for Eva Dziekanczyk and I think I found her indexed under births.

Maybe someone here who can read Polish better than myself can correct me if I'm wrong with the information that I provide. From what I read she was born in 1816. Place of birth listed as Cekcyn. There is an icon for notes, and I think it states that her father was Joannes Dziekanczyk and her mother was Rosalia Gruglowna. Also listed in notes are 2 dates Nov 21 & Nov 24(birth & baptism???)

Here is a link to the webpage. Can someone here on the forum check the information that I provided??

The village name you are looking for is Rudnia Nalibocka / Rudni Nalibockiej, which was located a few kilometers from the gmina town of Naliboki, which is now within the borders of western Belarus. The spellings of the surnames you are looking for are Bartoszewicz & Klaczkiewicz

I am the grandson of a Bartoszewicz from Rudnia

Genealogy / Family name "Olejarz" [12]

Ellis Island search :

Andrzy Olejarz arrived Feb 16, 1912 from Jadlowka Galicia, passengers traveling with him are Antoni Gorski & Anton Piesko, also from Jadlowka

Anna Olejarz arrived March 12, 1913- her name is mis-transcribed as Anna Clejarz in the Ellis Island database- passengers with her are 2 daughters, Cecylia & Zofia, their destination was Andrzy Olejarz, Raphelton? Pa


The correct spelling of town looks to be Jodłówka

At Google type in Jodlowka and Olejarz, there are matches listed for search results, and also for Pieszko?

I typed in this spelling of the surname at Google, and it showed 26,000 hits, maybe it's closer to the original spelling.

The Ellis Island website has passenger manifests for 2 persons that may be of interest to you.

Genealogy / Garus last name - from Poland or Russia? [28]

Did Tomasz Garus live in Toledo, Ohio?

If so, he is listed as having served in the Polish Army In France, also known as Haller's Army, or Blue Army.

Here is a link to where he is listed: feefhs.org/links/poland/pafi/pafi16.html

When at the webpage you can click on "Description of this index" for more information.

The 2nd entry for Tomasz sounds promising, as you'll see there is a "c" at the far right. From the information in the description of the index, if there is an entry with a "c" listed, there should be a record available which has birth information as well as where he was born.

Genealogy / Valentine Stolarz, Anna Banas, Jacob Mastej, Francis Bil [30]

I read your posts and thought I might be of some help. The Ellis Island website is a great starting point. I know on some manifests there isn't much information, especially on those from 1906 and before. They only had 1 page. However, starting in 1907 the manifests had 2 pages, and when you view the manifest page, you are only viewing 1 page.

You'll know when you find these because the image will show information, but won't have the persons name on it. The way to view the other page is to click previous or next on the winow which says "click to enlarge manifest" This page has more information such as nearest living relative in the country the person immigrated from.

I did a search for Stolarz & found an Anna Stolarz arriving in 1913. I clicked to view the manifest, and since it's from 1913, it only showed the 2nd page. Information stated she was going to her husband Walenty Stolarz, Chicago. I closed that window & clicked previous, now it showed the page which has her name on the list as well as 3 children Boleslaw, Boleslawa, and Gustav. It states that the children where born in USA. Also lists the nearest living relative in Europe for Anna as her father, Jan Banasz, in Lukanowice.

It looks like Anna was visiting family in Poland (Galicia)and was on a return trip to USA.

I did a search on google for Lukanowice, and on a map it is very close to Biadoliny Szlacheckie & Biadoliny Radlowskie, which are in southern Poland.

Hope this helps
