Reply with quote

I’m trying to track down my great-grandfather’s Polish birthplace. Recently I obtained his Alien File, which includes the following details.

Name: Anthony Julius Suleski
Birth date: 5/25/1884
Birth place: Rickwell, Calais, Poland
Arrival date: 6/11/1902
Arrival port: NY
Ship: Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse

That ship did arrive at NY on that date, but Anthony is not on the manifest. Perhaps “Calais” is supposed to be Kalisz? Does anyone have any ideas about “Rickwell”?

Thank you!

Hi,

Rychwał seems like a good possibility. It was in powiat Koniński of the Gubierna (Province) of Kalisz. Cf. Attached map. Currently in woj. Wielkopolskie, powiat koniński

Wishing you success,

Dave

Hi,
I think like Dave. It could be Rychwał. Unfortunately FamilySearch and Szukaj w archiwach does not exist the year (1884). I checked the years before and after and did not find the surname Sulewski / Suleski. Nevertheless, I wrote to the parish to find out if this church book is in the parish archive. Hope to get an answer.

Regards,
-Barb

Ingen Sulewski got married in this parish between 1865 and 1886.

Hi again,
I got a reply from the parish Rychwał. Unfortunately there are no books from that time in the parish archive.
Do you have other documents relating to Antoni Juliusz. For example, a wedding record? Parents name?

Regards,
-Barb
