| Hi,
I've been trying to learn more about my great great grandfather for a while. In my research, I've honestly gotten the impression that this guy had a tendency to give false/wrong info in genealogical records (and so I never take things at face value), but what I do know is the following: Michal Falejczyk -Born in Kadysz, Grodno, 1881 -Immigrated in 1903, briefly stayed in Buffalo, NY (where a separate branch of the Falejczyk family still resides, before settling in Chicago -In records he claims the following Falejczyk's in Chicago with him were his brothers: Marcin (1870-1926), Jozef (1877-1955), and Antoni (1897-1977), but I'm skeptical given the large gap in ages between them -He also said he had a sister (in-law?) in Horaczki named Michalina Lewczyk, who I was actually able to track down and confirm that she was real and later immigrated and settled in Buffalo, NY -Gives multiple names for his parents (Joannes Falejczyk and Paulina Mikolewicz in one record, and Szymon Falejczyk and Karolina Rapi in another) -Died in Chicago, IL, 1935 I understand Falejczyk to be a relatively uncommon Polish surname and the fact that there's not many Falejczyk's has been both a blessing and a curse in my research. Most of his (supposed) family were born in Kadysz (now Kadysh, Belarus) or Horaczki (now Haracki, Belarus). I have not been able to find anything on him or his immediate family in Geneteka, MyHeritage, or FamilySearch. I think his hometown falls under the Teolin Parish, and it's my understanding that the region was hit pretty hard during WW2 and a lot of records were destroyed. Is there any chance anyone knows of a place online where any available records might be? I've gotten the idea that unfortunately he just came from a region that is now very hard to research, but I just figured I'd leave no stone unturned. My goal here is, ideally, to learn who his parents really were and be able to draw a line to any living relatives in Poland or Belarus. Thanks for reading. |
