Hello friends: I have been the only one in my family interested in the geneology of our family/name. I have not been able to go back very far. I was wondering if anyone can help. I have notes in my profile. My name is Richard Kenneth Krasowski Jr. from Chicago, Illinois. If you need additional information here in this forum, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your kindness.
