I see your Helena's shiplist and it lists that her father is Wodjcleck. (I am not sure of that spelling). It looks like she traveled with a Jacob and Josef Brimiarski and was bound for Minneapolis. Does that sound familiar? Where did your Helena live? Do you have any background info?

My grandfather was Stanislaw Bartholmew Fryzlewicz born 11 Oct 1887 in Nowy Targ. I don't know the names of his siblings but I think it's a rare surname so there must be a relation to your Helena. I would like to find out more. My grandfather immigrated about 1907 and settled in Penn. That's according to is census, however I can't find his exact name on a shiplist. The closest I can find is a Bartholomew Fryzlewicz from Nowy Targ who immigrated in 1908. My grandfather married in Chicago to Maria Ulwary also of Nowy Targ. One of their daugthers is named Helen, and she still speaks Polish.


Did you know that the current mayor of Nowy Targ is named Marek Fryzlewicz ?
