In 19000 census, he was listed as Barlow Pelarski, Posen, Presque Isle, MI. Age 54, est. birth 1846, birthplace, Poland-Germany, imm. year 1871. wife Mary 46, son John 17, daugh. Mary 19, daugh. Kate 15 (my great grandmother), daugh. Francis 15, daught. Rosie 7, daught. Dora 4, and son Peter 2.
As far as I know, these are all the children they had. The Bart you found is, I am quite confident, THE Bartholemeuw you n are looking for. these are the only years I can find for him too so he probably died between 1910 & 1920.
1900 census states 12 children born 8 alive. 1910 states 12 born 7 alive.
What is yooour connection?
