Genealogy / Just found out I'm Polish! [45]
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've searched and searched on my own. I see that they "arrived" in 1871 from a census in Texas in 1900 but other than that, nothing. They are listed as "Wilson". My father's older siblings have all passed and apparently only one knew! No one to speak on that side...no paperwork etc. It will be hard, they were migrant workers and moved around. I just hoped I might run into someone with a common interest, like I did with other ancestors on ancestry.com.
To those of you who goofed on me, I'm thick skinned, I'm not insulted.
To those of you trying to find dates here....geez, let's not make the misconceptions about being polish sound like they're true! :)
From the 1900 census, here's what it shows:
COSHIMERE OR COSHOMRE WILSON - JAN. 1826
MAGDALINA WILSON - AUG. 1835
ARRIVAL DATE: 1871 FROM "POLAND GER"
MARRIAGE DATE: 1848
CHILDREN:
CONSTANTIA
STANSOLAW
VALENTINA
JOHN
I've found no death records or anything else on any of the above.
Thanks!
