Hi,
Does anyone have information on the Bem, Wasielak, and Kuras from Waksmund?
I have Jozef Bem (circa 1880-1960) married Hedwig Waielak (possibly Kuras)(~1882-1960). They lived in Waksmund, Galicia, came to Gallitzin, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, USA, and then went back to live and eventually died in Poland. I believe their other children were Francis and Veronica Bem who went into the Catholic Church as a priest and nun. Jozef Bem's parents are listed on a marriage document as John and Aliza Bem, but I have a feeling these are americanized names. Hedwig's parents are listed as Vojcik Wasielak and Mary Schall (possibly really Sral.) Any help would be welcomed.
