I am searching for our polish ancestors this is the information I have.

3 Brothers
Zygmunt Piekos (or Pienkos) born 1882 Came to America (Pennsylvania) 1905
George Pienkos born 1890 Came to America Pennsylvania 1905. Draft record says from Ostrazouka Poland. But can not find that town so I am guessing it mispelled on the Draft record.
Stanislaw Pienkos as far as we know stayed in Poland

Parents are John and Katherine Pienkos both born 1860.

Thank you so much

Zygmunt in Ellis Island 1905: Pstragowka and 12 miles away....
Wojciech (Georg); Malinie (see image attached).

A final note: I found a Wojciech and Stanislaw Pienkos in 1930 Census (Salem, MA) and both refer to Krosno. If these are your folks then consider the correct Pstragowka as the one near Krosno. see map attached.

Thank you for your reply. We know that George came to Pottstown Pa when he immigrated. We just don't know exactly where they came from in Poland. And it is believed that Stanislaw stayed in Poland if he came to America my father in law is unware (he would be his great uncle). I will look into the area you suggested.
My father in law believes they came from Krakow. But again I can not find anything to indicate that.
