Genealogy / Seeking family For Zielinski living around Strzegowo or Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland [9]

Good evening!

I hoping that someone around on here would be able to help me out with my quest to find certain family members of mine who are still living in Poland, and possibly help be able to clear up any remaining questions about the villages they came from. I've been an avid Genealogist and have uncovered thousands of documents for my family members on Ancestry, etc, in the states and its time to move "overseas" and back home to where they came from.

My hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania, located in the United States along the Great Lakes, is home to thousands of men, women and children with a long line of Polish heritage. Before World War I, Erie was said to have about 10,000 poles residing in the city itself. My father's side of the family itself has a rich history with our polish roots.

My Great-Great Grandmother, Marta Zielinska, was born on 30 January 1891 in the village of Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland to Szczepan Zielinski, a tailor, & Julianna Lazarewicz. Here is a list of her siblings:

Wladyslawa Zielinska b. 12 MAR 1885 - Unknown, Poland - d. 06 JUL - Erie, Erie, Pennsylvania, USA
Unknown when Wladyslawa emigrated to the United States, but at some point she married Joseph Mioduszewski. Unknown if she married Joseph in the United States or Poland. Wladyslawa and Marta resided in the same household, 644 East 14th Street - in Erie, Pennsylvania - in 1918. On 09 NOV 1918, Wladyslawa gave birth to a premature son, who was named Stanislaw. She would die several days later due to Influenza, which killed dozens of people within that week in the city. Stanislaw would not survived and passed away about a month later, in December. From this point on Joseph Mioduszewski disappears from records and anymore information is unknown about Wladyslawa or her live.

Zofia Zielinska 06 APR 1888 - Unknown, Poland - d. 06 JUL 1956 - Erie, Erie, Pennsylvania, USA.
Married Roman Blaszczyk (native of Gostynin, Płock, Poland). When Zofia emigrated to the United States, arriving on 01 MAR 1913, with her infant son, Jan, the manifest states their prior residence was Strzegowo. Zofia would pass away in 1956 due to Intestinal Obstruction, Gallstone in Intestinal tract.

Helena Weronika Zielinska b. 25 FEB 1893 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland - d. Unknown, Unknown

Stanislaw Zielinski b. 15 SEP 1894 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland - d. Unknown, Unknown

Apolonia Julianna Zielinska b. 1897 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland - d. 1898 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland

Janina Zielinska b. 09 JUN 1899 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland - d. Unknown, Unknown

Stanislawa Weronika Zielinska b. 24 JAN 1902 - Niedzbórz, Płock, Poland - d. Unknown, Unknown

The above siblings (excluding Zofia and Wladyslawa) were uncovered by a Genealogist in Poland as of recently. There is another sibling named Genevieve Zielinska, who married someone with the surname Kaczorowski, who still was alive in Poland around the time of my Great-Great Grandmother's death in December of 1970. My Grandfather wrote to Genevieve's daughter, whom I'm told was possibly a school teacher. The details of these letters as well as any other specific details regarding names and other details were lost to history years ago along with the passing of my grandfather in January of 2013.

The Deaths of Marthas parents, my Great-Great-Great Grandparents is currently unknown as is the dates for her siblings where it is listed as unknown, especially her sister, Genevieve, whom was still alive in 1970 which was verified by my Great-Grandmother, Irene Sokolowski-Dombrowski, Martha's sister.

If there is a way to somehow procure information about my Great-Great Grandmothers siblings or the whereabouts of any siblings and/or family it would be greatly appreciated if we could be put in contact with each other in some way!

Thank you all for your help in advance.
