Genealogy / Looking for Sakowski ancestors (near Kierzek??) / also Szymanski [30]

Piotr,
Very interesting post. My family begins with Walenty Sakowski born in Kierzek about 1855. He married Rozalia Pijanowska from Gleba. Children were: Walenty, Jan, Stanislaw and Jozef; Elenora and Mary Anna. I know that in 1888 there was a Walenty born in Chudek son of another Walenty Sakowski. Also in 1893 a Jozef Franczyszek Sakowski was born in Chudek. I know that the Jozef Sakowski in Kierzek is adopted but do you know more about this family. Was his father living in Gleba? What was his father's first name and the names of grandparents. This is very important information for me. I need your help. Ron Sakowski.

Lisa,
I have considerable information on all the Sakowski's who lived in Kierzek. I have also asked a researcher in Poland to find additional information. If you would like at least a copy of what I have, I can get it to you if you provide contact information.

Ron Sakowski, son of Paul Sakowski who was the son of Jan Sakowski who was the son of Walenty Sakowski (born in Kierzek about 1855).

Larry,
Kierzek was quite a thrill but I did not accomplish everything that I wanted to do. Folklore has it that "way back" there were only two extended families in Kierzek--Sakowski and Duszak who also emigrated to Wilmington. Today, there are no Sakowski's there but the family is well known. At some point when time permits we shall have to meet in Willmington and I can present to you what I have. Did Lisa uncover anything that might be helpful to me especially any old photos of the Sakowski's. Is there one of your grandfather Stanley or others? Hope you get a chance to relax. Also, I plan to return to Poland next year and complete my mission.

Lisa,
I have been in touch with Larry Casula but have not talked recently. Are the Sakowski's that you have researched from Kierzek or that area of Poland known as Kurpie? I recently returned from Poland and visited the area where my grandfather was born. Appreciate a response. Ron
