Classification: Query
Surnames: Chwala Hargesheimer/Hergesheimer Kuhn Jablonski Zielinski
I am the first born dau of Ronald Joseph Chwala. 1/2 Sister to Jamie Brianna-lynn (Chwala) Sanchez and Ronald Joseph Chwala Jr. "aka: Joey". Ronald's first marriage was to my mother, Arlene Dianne (Jablonski). Jamie can fill in her mother's maiden name, as I have just drawn a blank.
Ronald's parents were Joseph Chwala who married Eleanor (Hargesheimer/Hergesheimer) Chwala. Joseph and Eleanor had 2 children: Ronald Joseph Chwala and Maryann Chwala.
Joseph's parents were Bliss Chwala (born Warsaw, Poland) who married Mary Bernett.
Eleanor's parents were Valentine Hargesheimer/Hergesheimer who married Mathilda (born in Austria) Valentine & Mathilda had 4 children: Eleanor, Henry, Gilbert, and LaVerne. Mathilda had 5 sisters: Minnie, Caroline, Phillimina, Elizabeth and Julia.
Joseph C. was born 4-4-1910 in IL, dod 12-3-1968 IL.
Bliss C. was born 12-20-1885 in Warsaw Poland, dod 9-7-1964 IL.
Mathilda H. was bn 8-5-1897 in Austria, dod 9-11-1971 IL.
The 1920 Census for Cook Co IL lists Valentine C. as being born in Bukowina (Austria ?) and lists Mathilda born in Galicia.

I have the death certificates for Mathilda, Bliss, and Joseph.

I work in a public library and happen to also answer genealogy requests for those who write to the library. I have been doing this for many years. I began my various family research approx. 7 years ago, however after the birth of my twins, and now a 3rd child, this "work in progress" has been put on the "back burner" so-to-speak. I have worked mostly on my husbands line due to the fact that a lot of the work had been done up until the mid 1970's, and I''ve been updating the information. The Oregon Kuhn lineage descends from Peter Kuhn, Wurtemberg, Germany. The Chwala line from Poland/IL (exact loc ?) The Jablonski line is also from Poland/IL. My ggmother came over from Poland/IL, and spoke very little english. Her last name was Zielinski.

I don't get to check my email often, oregontwinz@hotmail.com, but I will do my best to respond as time allows. Happy Hunting!
