                                      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;pbetchkal wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;I was able to locate my ancestors that came from Zielun, Poland to Baltimore, MD on June 27, 1883. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of immigration the Family was : Adam Biszkago 55 years old , Mother: Marianne 42 years old , Son: Ladislaw 9 years old , Son: Ignak 4 years old, Daughter: Marianne 7 years old , Mother in Law Catherine Majeski 60 years old, &lt;br /&gt;
Immigrated to Baltimore, MD, United States June 27, 1883 From Zielun, Russia. &lt;br /&gt;
Ended up in Berlin, Wisconsin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other spellings of last name: Beczkala, (In Wisconsin I have seen these spellings: Betchkal, Batchkal, Betchkaw, Betchka)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any help on this family would help....but I am very interested in this:  &lt;br /&gt;
According to Ignak's biography He states that Adam was an officer in the Russian Government under the czar and held the title of Czandiar which means sheriff a post he held for 30 years.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
