Using Pomorskie database, I see a pretty definitive match, as long as Valentine Milewski and Franciszka Kleinschmidt are correct, seems to macth the 1900 cesnus, besides your Mary who was already married? Hope this helps

On a brother named Joseph Milewski marriage in 1908, he listed parents as Valentine Milewski and Frances Kleinschmidt.

Based on others family trees on ancestry, and Valentine from the 1900 census looks to your Mary's father. When brother William was killed in 1912, the article lists siblings, 1 being Mrs. Mary Gonsiewski, and father Valentine had returned to Poland 2 years prior in. Should give you a start and hopefully match up in genteka.

Can someone tell me the present day name of Staraghan? And is it now part of Poland?

Thank you very much.

It could be all sorts, I would say try using the website that will equate todays names of towns, from old german or polish names, I typed in just star on the german town, and got multiple towns that you could see might be your match.
