Merged: Gruzlewski Family, Netzel, Pilarski

Gruzlewski Family: My grandmother was born in Cicero, ILL in 1904, her name was Joanna Gruzlewski and her parents were Szymon Gruzlewski and Marcyanna. They had 13 kids that I have been able to find. Kids were Martha Netzel, Sophia Gruzlewski, Catherine Gruzlewski, John Gruzlewski and Rose Pilarski. Some of the girls changed their name to Leske. I know nothing of the family neither does my dad and am looking for any help of connections to find them. My frandmother changed her name to Jane Leske by 1922.
