Chmielewski / Chmielewska / Machowiak of Shamokin PA
A renewed effort. Please anyone who has any connecting info help!
My mother's family came to Shamokin, Pa via Stanislaus (Stanley, Stoney) Machowiak (Mattis)and Victoria Chmielewska (Milewski) who came here via the Baltimore Port in 1883 on the SS America. The family story is that they went straight to Shamokin, PA because Victoria had cousins/family there. Stanilaus & Victoria came with Children John, Michaeline, Andrew, Anthony. Born here in the US we believe were Julie, Francis, Mary, and FRANK born 03 April 1888. Michaeline is my Great Grandmother who married Louis Milewski in Shamokin, PA 1892. And had 3 children, Louise Mary (my Grandmother), Alexander (Who moved to Ohio and changed his name to MILLER), and Felix. Might there be any connections?? HELP!!!
Could Michaeline have married a cousin in Shamokin? Seeing how her mother's maiden name was Chmielewska and she married Louis Milewski??

My family was from Mt. Carmel in Northumberland County which is pretty close to Shamokin. My great grandfather was Victor Chmielewski. He was born in 1875 in Poland. He came in 1900 and married Stefania Ziarka in 1910. He was a coal miner and died in 1947. If you would like to compare information, please let me know.

edb0923: back in 2010 you replied to my post about my Chmielewska line in Shamokin, PA. I have recently learned that she, my 2nd Great Grand Mother (Victoria Chmilewska Machowiak, b. 1848 d. 1944), had family in Buffalo, NY. With a renewed zeal I am back at it again... Please, if you are still active on here, or anyone else for that matter..... has any info on this family line in either the Shamokin, PA area or Buffalo, NY area, please communicate with me.
