Post subject: Looking for info on Albert Dziomba
Ok, I'm looking for more info on Albert Dziomba, who was my great grandfather. He was a grocery store owner, then a tavern owner in North Tonawanda, NY. The info I have behind him is that the name appears to be Dziaba, not Dziomba. His father's name was Jakob and came from the Dzial area of Poland. Albery married Mary Obrochta in 1900, whose father Wojceich (albert) Obrochta owned a boarding house in North Tonawanda. Albert Dziomba had to return to Poland after his father died to run the family farm and settle affairs. I think this would have been around 1900. Just trying to fill out albert's past, his siblings and the Obrochta side some. I assume that the name change came as some bastardization of Dziaba (my grandfather changed Leszczynski to Less). I'm building my tree on Ancestry.

Hi,
Dziąba, the correct polish spelling, sounds Dziomba.
From a search in www.stevemorse.org (Ellis Island entries) it seems to the that the Dziaba and Obrochta came from the same area: Dzial, near Dlugopole and Czarny Dunajec.
In Ancestry.com there is a naturalization process for Albert Dziomba, in NY, 1912.
