Hi!

I found this possible death information for a Stanislaw. Do you think it could be your Stanislaw?

Hi Charlie,
I found this Social Security Death Index information for the Stanislaw listed above. I wish I could find Stanislaw and Stanislawa in the census records.

Did Stanislawa go by a nickname? My great-grandmother was a Stanislawa but she went by Stella when she was young and Anna when she got older.

Do you know when they came to the USA?
Regards,
Trish

Hi Trish, thanks, it’s possible this is him. Would make her husband about 15 years older but certainly can’t rule it out.

Part of the trouble is, I’m not sure if they married in Poland or the US. And since they were buried separately, there are no clues on birth dates for him from her grave (which would be handy as Stanisław Szymczak is a very common name).

There is not much information on Stanisława’s death certificate linked above, compared with others I have seen in Poland and Australia which list marriage date and names of children.

He married my great-grandaunt Stanisława Dziąba (1926–1987) who was born in Przytuły, Poland and migrated to Chicago. She is buried in a single grave in Resurrection Cemetery. I haven’t been able to locate migration records for either of them.
