We know that George came to Pottstown Pa when he immigrated. We just don't know exactly where they came from in Poland. And it is believed that Stanislaw stayed in Poland if he came to America my father in law is unware (he would be his great uncle). I will look into the area you suggested. <br /> My father in law believes they came from Krakow. But again I can not find anything to indicate that. https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28686#28686 rpiekos93 Fri Aug 26, 2016 2:40 pm https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28686#28686 https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28622#28622 <br /> Author: <a href='https://forum.polishorigins.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=-1'>Anonymous</a><br /><br /> Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 8:19 pm<br /><br /> <br /><br /> </span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>rpiekos93 wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I am searching for our polish ancestors this is the information I have.<br /> <br /> 3 Brothers<br /> Zygmunt Piekos (or Pienkos) born 1882 Came to America (Pennsylvania) 1905<br /> George Pienkos born 1890 Came to America Pennsylvania 1905.

If these are your folks then consider the correct Pstragowka as the one near Krosno. see map attached.<br /> Gilberto https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28622#28622 Anonymous Sun Aug 21, 2016 8:19 pm https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28622#28622 https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=28621#28621 <br /> Author: <a href='https://forum.polishorigins.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6165'>rpiekos93</a><br /><br /> Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 6:47 pm<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I am searching for our polish ancestors this is the information I have.<br /> <br /> 3 Brothers<br /> Zygmunt Piekos (or Pienkos) born 1882 Came to America (Pennsylvania) 1905<br /> George Pienkos born 1890 Came to America Pennsylvania 1905.
