i am not sure how much information you have or what places you have looked. so, i do not have any dates or places at this time. i have just started looking into the walkush family. most of the information i have is from obituaries. these i got from Stevens Point Area Obituary, out of the University, and from the Portage County Cemetery Locator. i did notice a obit for Mrs. Andrew Cychosz (Lucy Okonek), Stevens Point Daily Journal, 4 June 1942. you might see if it tells when and where they were married. didn't find a notice for Andrew, but only checked the spelling cychosz.

My great great great grandfather's family (Mathius Okonek) settled in the Stevens Point area. Two of his sons were John Okonek and Peter Okonek. Peter was born in the 1840's and John in the 1860's. I do not have a Lucy mentioned in my tree, but I am sure there must be a connection because that is the only family of Okoneks to go to that area.

Scott,
There was another family of Okonek's in Portage County.
Valentine and Catherine, . They are on the 1870 census, living in the town of Sharon. Name is spelled Okunck. they are also on the 1880 census name spelled Okonek. Lucy is not with them, if it's the right family she is already married. Her first child is born in 1871. Altho according to Lucy Okonek's Cychosz Obituary she was supposedly born in 1850 I am now thinking maybe not. Going to S.P. next week to look for a marriage license. Not sure I will find one, but need to do hands on checking. have a list of children from Lucy Okonek and Andrew Cychosz that were all baptized at Sacred Heart. Hoping to find birth certificates for some of them, since I understand that Sacred Heart burned in 1934? Hoping to find something.
Thanks for answering.
Marilyn

Interestingly, Mathius and Valentine came over on the same ship. I don't know how they are related though. In fact, it was only about a month ago that I found out the ship.

----------Jacob CYCHOSZ, Sr. died in 1924 April..there is a notice in the Stevens Point Daily Journal, for 8 Apr 1924 and 11 Apr 1924...don't know what information would be there but if he is a brother to Andrew CYCHOSZ, and he died before him, it might list Andrew as a living relative.
------------------------------------------------------

Have other Census information on the CICHOSZ name and OKUNEK name. There are some in Scott, BURNETT county, Wisconsin (Okunek) There are some CICHOSZ in Winona, Winona, Minnesota.
