Burja - Some information about your grandfather's brother Antoni, who lived in Rhode Island:

Census records and WWI draft indicate that his wife's name was Sophie. RI census records show that his children (as of 1925) were: Walter, Stanley, Matthew, John, Amelia and Fred. There are several spellings of the surname: Kopec, Kopic, Kopick, Kopik. Hopefully you can locate family members from this part of your tree and perhaps learn more about your family.

Fingers crossed!

Shellie-thank you for responding. Here is some of the information I have.
KOPEC FAMILY from ROZANKA PODKARPACIE, POLAND- GGF: Jan Kopec -parents & siblings unknown. Married twice. 1st marraige-names of 4 daughters & wife unknown, 1 son Jacob. 2nd marraige- GGM: Katarzyna Wlodyka (died 1897)-parents & siblings unknown, They had 4 sons: Thaddeusz & Stanislaus (remained in Poland as far as I know), Antoni came to US & lived in Valley Falls, Rhode Island. Names of his wife, 5 sons & 1 daughter unknown, Tytus (my grandfather) (1886-1968) came to The US in 1905? & lived in Adams, Massachusetts. He was naturalized in July 1921. He married Anastazja Wlodyka (1884-1939) also from Rozanka. Her parents were Tomasz & Katarzyna (Szetela) Wlodyka. Their parents & siblings unknown. Anastazja-brothers & sisters came to US-families known. 1 sister Katarzyna remained in Poland-her family unknown.
My cousin & I are looking for the connection between our two families. Her GGGparents were Jacek & Maria(Prokop) Kopec. They had one known daughter Zuzanna( could be Jan's sister). Only logical connecton but not sure. Zuzanna married Stanislaus Wlodyka in Poland. ( The number of Wlodyka's & Kopec's is very confusing)

KALISZ FAMILY from GLINIK DOLNY, FRYSTAK,POLAND; GGF:Wojciech(Albert) Kalisz married Zofia Wegat born in Twierdza). Their parents & siblings unknown. They had 3 sons-John, Jozef & Stanislaw & 3 daughters-Matylda, Wladislawa?, & Marja? Most of families known-lived in Chicopee & Adams Massachusetts. Exception Wladislawa who married _ Jaskalka & lived in Brooklyn. Stanilaw(my grandfather-1888-1968) married Zofia Zabik(1887-1963) also from Glinik Dolny. Her parents Josef & Maryanna (Antosz) Zabik. Their parents & siblings unknown. Zofia may have had 2 brothers John(1893) & imm. yr.1911 as well as Joseph (1898) & imm. yr. 1913. They were boarders of Stanislaw & Zofia in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Spelled their name Zambik-no other information on this family. On one passenger list a cousin named Franz Kalisz was listed as a relative in the country they came from. Nothing known about him.

There are so many Kopecs' I hope we can find some connections especially since there are 2 families.

Hi Burja! Welcome to Polish Origins. I'm sure that someone here will offer some help - Can give us some idea of what you already know about these families?

Did any of them emigrate to the USA or other countries? Do you have any specific names of people in these families?
