GenGirl,
I have a question concerning your grandmother Mary's aunt Zofia Orszulak in Chicago. Was Orszulak her married name or her maiden name? Do you know who Zofia Orszulak's parents were? I have Dlugopolski from Dlugopole near Nowy Targ (not far away from Ciche/Chocholow) in my family tree and found out that a 'Rofia Orszulak', b abt. 1893, married a Jan Dlugopolski, b abt. 1887 on 11 Jan 1917 in Chicago. They had a daughter Irene Dlugopolski, b 17 Dec 1917 in Chicago who died 04 Sep 1921. The family's residence was at 1758, W. 19th St., Chicago when Irene died. There is another marriage of Orszulak, Zofia, daughter of Michal Orszulak and Agnieska Banas, to Bachara, Szymon, son of Jan Bachara and Maryanna Pysek, 9-17-1906, St. John Cantius Church, Chicago. However, this Zofia Orszulak was from the pow. of Dabrowa, Galicia and not from Ciche or Chocholow in the district of Nowy Targ. Ute |

Adalbert Kocanda(born in Odrowaz)was the son of John & Anne Majchrowicz(sp?) and he married Angela Mateja(also born in Odrowaz) on 5/20/1916 at St. Adalbert's in Chicago. She was the daughter of John & Agnes Las. The marriage witnesses were Fabian Kocanda and Joseph Mateja...seems odd to have to male names but that's the way it reads, but maybe Joseph was actually supposed to be Josepha. In a related marriage, John Mateja,(son of John and Agnes Las) married Carol Kocenda(Kocanda?)(daughter of Andreas and Trca Stopka) on 10/27/1912. John was from Odrowaz, but Carol was from Zaluczne. Witnesses were Hyacinth Gal and Agnes Gal.
Per the PGSA database, Adalbert(Wojciech) died on 10/5/1969. I also found a marriage record for Adalbert's brother, Fabian on 1/23/1926 at St Adalberts. Fabian(age 27) married Anna Sieczka(age 1 daughter of Bartholemew and Maria Gal. Fabian was baptized in Odrowaz, but Anna was baptized at St John Cantius in Chicago, per the marriage record. |

Ute, can you please tell, where do you have information about STEPHANIE MATEJA daugther of Jan and Karolina Mateja from? I am great granddaughter of Jan & Karolina and granddaugther of Bruno Mateja and I have never heard about Stephanie. As far as I know my grandfather had only brothers (two more should be listed (Stanisław - 1922 and Wincenty - 1931), but they both died in the age of 1 or 2 probably. I would really appreciate your answer. |
