Jim,
Your Grandfather made our day nice - happy you discover things, or just read them with other eyes. It's not easy to communicate with parents or children when not living in your birth country (I am speaking from my own experience), not to mention Cyrillic barrier.
Until later,
Best from cold 6° C Paris,
Elzbieta

Jimgus: I am also searching for Muszynska's. My great grandmother was Porlgia/Pelegia Muszynska. She was born in 1877, so before your Muszynska's. Perhaps they are cousins of some sort?
I know her parents were listed on a death certificate as Walter Muszynski and Ann Kraczyur (which I am told is probably misspelled). On the documents I can find (death certificate), she mentions (along with siblings, Leonard, Henry, Mary) that she was born in Rypin.
I also believe another relative (uncle or cousin, perhaps) lived in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. His name is Aleksander and his sister was Julianna. They were born about ten years before Pelegia.
If any of these names are familiar to you, I'd love to touch base.

Sorry, but so far, I've found no direct relatives to my grandmother. I'll try to look back at the Ellis Island data and see who
If anyone travelled with her to the U.S. Off the top of my head, I can remember none, but its worth a relook.
Cheers,
Jim

I'm sorry to report that a page by page review of the arriving ship's manifest at Ellis Island for my grandmother's immigration shows that she travelled alone. Rereading your posting that your Muszynska was born in Rypin indicates that she was from an entirely different province than my ancestor. I will however keep my eyes open for other Muszynskis and update you if I find anything concrete. Please do the same for me.
Regards,
Jim

Thanks! I appreciate your looking into it. I knew it was a long shot, but once a name that is the same comes up, I always ask!
