I have recent information that a JOSEPH POWALKA born in 1886 in Szary, Galicia Poland came to US through Ellis Island May of 1906 from Breman, Germany and settled in Ludlow, MA for a time. He then moved west but how far west no one knows. His brothers & sisters are as follows: Carolina, Frank & Helena who married a man named Karczmarczyk and went back to Poland. There may be family members out there looking for other Powalka's please respond.
