Our Nowak ancestors too were Silesian's. They left Poland in 1855 arriving New York on 29 May 1855, traveled to Texas, IL and settled in Missouri. We have been trying to find where our ancestors originated from in Poland. We know they traveled the same ship with other relatives of ours in 1855 who have been identified by being Baptised in Sw. Bartlomiejz, Kielcza, Poland and this is the closes we have come to narrowing our search. Below is our ancestors and would be interested if we may be related.
