Post subject: Fitak, Jasien, Kolodziej, Fudala, Mierwa, Odrowaz/Dlugopole
While working on the Dlugopole emigrants chart that I'm updating, I came across a FITAK family that was incorrectly indexed as ARTAK on the Ellis Island site. I searched on and found out that Jan Fitak, baptized in Odrowaz, son of Andreas Fitak and Sophia Jasien, 21 ys old in 1911, married Maryanna Fudala, 18 ys old in 1911, baptized in Ludzmierz (born in Dlugopole, according to the immigration records), daughter of Joannes (Jan/John) Fudala and Anna Mierwa on Oct 24, 1911 in Chicago, St. Adalbert Church. Marriage witnesses were Jacobus Bienarz [Bieniasz?] and Marianna Fudala. The couple lived in Chicago in 1914 and had a son Joseph Fitak, b 1912.
Jan Fitak's sister Anastasia Fitak (same parents as for Jan Fitak), married Joannem (Jan/John) Kolodziej, son of Adalbert Kolodziej and Anna Czyskow, on April 16, 1907 in Chicago, St. Adalbert Church. Marriage witnesses were B. Kujawski and Joanne Jemisla[?? spelling].
I'm not related to these families, just thought it might help one of our members who have ancestors in Odrowaz and Dlugopole.

So sorry I didn't see this forum post earlier. I just replied to a different/newer post: "Dlugopole near Czarny Dunajec" with the following:
Ute,
Thanks again for all of your hard work and making it available to other members of PO. It was with interest that I noticed the first names listed on your index are relatives of mine. Marianna FITAK came to the USA on 2/19/1909, however that was before she married John FITAK in Chicago, IL on 10/24/1911. Her maiden name was FUDALA. Joseph Fitak was born in Indiana(1912) and it would appear from your records that mother and son took a trip to Poland, perhaps to allow grandparents a chance to see the new baby. There are other names on your index that are interesting as well, primarily MIRWA. Marianna's parents were named John Fudala and Anna Mirwa, according to the marriage record of John & Marianna from St. Adalbert's Church. That record indicates that John was born in Odrowaz and she was from Ludzmierz. (My paternal grandmother was named Anastasia Fitak; she was the older sister of John) Thanks again for making your research available to others....it is much appreciated.
