                                      Hello,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
you have mentioned 3 cities/villages: Musciska and Ziotkow in Poland Galicia and in your previous thread also Osakow. I think that the correct names are: Mościska, Złotkowice and Hussaków (all in close proximity to each other), now in Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think I might of come across my grandfathers name on the passenger list from Bremen Germany. I am not sure if this is him? It was on ancestry. com . The spelling is Andrzej Szpieg . born  approx 1882 port of entry is Baltimore Maryland. arrived Feb 1907. I am having a very hard time trying to find the correct spelling as I have noted in a few several forums that I wrote about So how do I find if this is really him? It was noted he was coming to Chicago Illinois. Any ideas I have 10 diffeerent spells of his name. He married Mary Slaga /Szlaga here in chgo il at a catholic churchSt Michaels that priest was slavic. I am trying to locate his other records and tract him back to Poland Austria Galciia. It states he lived in Ziotkow Galcia. Andrew Speck died in 1933 in chgo il. He has lived in Chgo Il and Mason County Manistee Michigan. I do have some info on him but looking for exact hometown exact spelling of name name of his parents. Andrew had a brother or some  relation noted by a distant relative on ancestry.com  Stanley C Speck or Stanislaw Spiech born May 3 1882 Musciska Poland arrival 1909naturalized feb 5 1925. Was Andrew naturalized I cant seem to locate records. Stans wife was Angeline or Nellie Mikula . Any help would be appreciated. I guess my next step would hire a genalogist to take from arrival in USA back to poland when I have extra money to invest in this. Thank you all for previous help on the forum under Speck and Slaga forum  . The family of Stanley are distant realtives never associate with.</description>
