hi lkocanda,
I might be able to help you a bit with genealogy, not sure re finding someone there, but maybe that as well, as I met a few people this spring when I went to Odrowaz, Zaluczne, Pieniazkowice area. Can you share what you know and perhaps we can see how we might help each other? While I was there I got quite a few records that have yet to be added to the database. I specifically looked for some Kocandas as they connect with me in the following way:
My gggrandfather Franciszek Czepiel, b. 1866, married Anna Tatar and had my grandfather Jozef Czepiel, something then happened to him (many varying stories and a true mystery). Anyway, Anna Tatar Czepiel went on to marry Stanislaw Kocanda (previously married to Katarzyna Bienias). Between the two wives there are a number of children which I can get more specific on if this would be helpful. Or perhaps you can help me regarding anything you might know of. Will leave it there for now rather than going on and on with names, please let me know what you might know and how we might be able to help each other.

I have tried looking for kocanda records online but not sure if the name got changed or not.
It also looks like my grandfathers father went back to England in. The 1920. Show do I find out where he went from there

I too am researching the Kocanda. My great grandmother had married in Zaluczne a man named Ignacy ( Ignatius) Ciszek ( Cizek, Cisek). Her name was Victoria Kocanda. She had 2 children in Pekelnik ( Piekielnik) named Jozef and Marya. Victoria left Pekelnik and went with Ignacy to live in Chicago, Illinois. They lived most of their life there on 18th St. From her obituary on PGSA I was able to see she had 2 brothers...Jozef and Jan ( John) and a sister Casandra. Her mother was Tekla Szymusiak and father was Jozef Kocanda. They never came to the USA. Victoria and Ignacy had other children born here in Chicago. Julia Ciszek, Honorata Ciszek. On January 3, 1942 both Victoria and her daughter Marya... both died in different hospitals the same day. Mother and daughter never knew each was in the hospital. What a coincidence that both died the same day. Then in April, the same year Marya's baby daughter of 14 years old died too asking to go with her mother. Asthma attack. And then in November, the same year, Victorias daughter Julianna died as well of breast cancer. So....in the same year, grandmother, daughters and grandaughter ALL died. Sad story. Anyone thats familiar with this family or story...please contact me at: [email protected]
The death of Victoria and her daugter Marya was in the Chicago Tribune. Many thanks to all !!! Donnamarie

Attached is a 1903 Baltimore arrival with 2 Kocanda men - Jan Kanty Kocanda from Dzial and Jan Kocanda from Zaluczne.
Jan Kocanda on line 22 is headed to Chicago to Wiktoria Cisak.
There are many other passengers on this page from Podhale area villages, including
Dzial, Odrowaz, Zaluczne, Dlugopole, Makow, Nowy Targ..... However, because the writing was so difficult to read, many of the names and villages were mis-spelled. For example, Aniela Gal was transcribed as Arnela Fal..............and Jan Kanty Kocanda was transcribed as Jankanty Koeduda.
If you have access to Ancestry .com, you can browse the passenger names and villages at this link:
