Genealogy / Name of a town in Poland in early 1900's [32]
Hi, yes I saw that Karolina Matras apparently traveled with my grandfather to the US, but I have no idea who she was. She was not my grandmother, who arrived later in the US and married my grandfather. Karolina later married a man named John Giera and her name became Caroline Giera. Her family lived in the US in the same general area as my grandfather and she died in 1975, but to my knowledge, her name was never mentioned by my father's side of the family. I'm trying to research who she was, and why she might have traveled with my grandfather, which is part of the reason I wanted to know the name of the town that she and my grandfather came from.
Thanks!
Mike
