Post Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2015 10:03 pm      Post subject: Ports of entry???
Reply with quote

What are different ports of entry I could look into for a family that arrived from Poland in 1887? I have them on the 1900 US Census living in Chicago, Illinois and the arrival year given is 1887. Jacob and his wife Josephine, Jacob's mother Maggie and possibly their oldest son Joseph who was born Dec 25, 1883 or 1887 (he has 2 different birth years engraved on his headstone and has used both years on forms and records he filled out). On ancestry and familysearch I have tried all the different spellings I can think of but the names/dates that come up are nowhere near who I'm looking for. I'm thinking I might have better luck if I can try searching to see if the different ports have anything set up like the Ellis Island site.

If anyone can think of ports where they could possibly have come in, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here is a possible match for the marriage of Jakub Dzewiecki & Jozefa Nowakowski in 1880 in the parish of Rogowo.

Hi simmonsfamilyresearch
Here are images of the April 20 1887 Port of Phildelphia arrival record for a "Drzewietzkis" family that somewhat match the subjects of your search. The ages are off.

Thanks so much everyone for all this info. I will look into everything posted and also try the mentioned ports to see what I can find. I don't want to subscribe to the ancestry world package until I know for sure what general area my families lived in their respective countries to make searching a bit easier for me. I don't mind the work of searching but I really don't want to have to sort through every Jacob and Josephine in Poland trying to find the right family.

Hi simmonsfamilyresearch
We agree. Don't spend your money on some needless "world" subscription. Come to this Forum first and its participants will give you FREE research advice.
B/T/W, That Rogowo marriage record that Dave posted looks promising.
You can rent microfilmed birth, marriage and dath records for the village of Rogowo at your local public library or an LDS Family History Center.
Norbert
