Hello, I live in the U.S., and am would LOVE to learn about my ancestry. My grandmother, Antonina Treowski, was from Warsaw area & came to the states when she was 17. (Her parents sold a cow to do so!) She raised a wonderful, large family outside Chicago, lost a son in WW11, and experienced lots of immigrant hardships. When she was 76, my aunt Josephine took her back to Poland for the first time in her life—there were lots of family/friend parties to celebrate, etc. Then, the night before she was to come back to America, she died in the house she was born in.
She was born July 25, 1890
Birthplace: Wyszkow, Wyszków County, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
I have some photos to share, if interested.

Do You know the names of Antonia's parents?
i have checked the romancatholic parish of Wyszków and there was no baptism record for Antonina Tretowska in the year of 1890.

Oh my goodness! My cousin said everyone spelled the name wrong. No N.

Last name is spelled Tretowski —Antonina. Born July25, 1890, in Wyszkow. (Or Pultusk?)

I can’t thank you enough for checking! It means so much to me. I don’t know her parents’ names.

My grandfather considered himself Polish, too. I think he may have lived in Lithuania? Or Ukraine? Used to be Poland. His family was all killed by the Russian Czar after he came to America.

His name:Felix Porcianko
Born 1886 in Swierki, Poland
His parents: Adam Porcianko and Eva Janokowicz Porcianko

Was Antonina romancatholic?
I have also checked pułtusk baptism records for the year of 1890 and there was no such baptism.
Tretowska was her maiden name?

Yes, she was definitely Catholic. Tretowski was her name. (I guess Tretowska in Poland?)

Hmmm...I know she came from that area. Thank you so much for checking.

Hi Kathy,

What documents do you have for Antonina Tretowska from the USA? Do you have her passenger list? Marriage record? Census records? You must find these records first before searching in Poland. Often, these documents provide more specific information that will tell us where to look in Poland and what years to consider.

For example, I found a 1920 and 1930 census that shows she immigrated in 1914. I then searched the immigration databases. I think I found her Hamburg and New York passenger lists. These documents give her birth year as 1894 and her last residence as Obryte. It says she was traveling to her Cousin Jozefa (Josephine) In Illinois. Do you have these documents?

And here are the census documents and passenger lists that provided her year of birth (1894) and last residence (Obryte) and fathers name Antoni. On the 2 page New York passenger list she is line 1.

Here is another interesting document for her death in case you don’t have it.
Looks like it provides the name and address of relatives in Poland....

Hi Kathyjo,

Attached are screenshots of birth and marriage listings on Geneteka for siblings and other relatives of Antonina. Some records, but not all, have scans online. The marriages of two sets of her grandparents took place in 1855 & 1865 respectively. There are no links to scans since they were only indexed from internal indices in the appropriate registers.

Here is a link to the marriage record of her parents Antoni Tretowski & Marianna Pajka:

Wishing you successful researching,

Dave

Thank you! I'm astounded to have received all this information, and so appreciative.

I see many different names on here. Who is responding? People all with polish origins.com? Or readers on the forum? This is amazing. She must have fulfilled her lifelong wish, and died full of love:

In case you didn't see my first post earlier today, here's some background, which I've always found fascinating: My grandmother, Antonina, was from Warsaw area & came to the states when she was 17. (Her parents sold a cow to do so!) She raised a wonderful, large family outside Chicago, lost a son in WW11, and experienced lots of immigrant hardships. When she was 76, my aunt Josephine took her back to Poland for the first time in her life—there were lots of family/friend parties to celebrate, etc. Then, the night before she was to come back to America, she died in the house she was born in.
