pamela,
hi ,sorry i did not get back to you sooner.iwas on vaction.
my grandfather's name was frank czaja he was born in 1871.i do not know what part of poland he came from
.nobody seems to remember.i do not know if there are any connections in ct.i did learn that his real dad's
(my greatgrandfather's last name was wojciech).he came to the usa and adopted his stepfather's name.
he married mary czyrek also of poland.i found his ss aplication but he only listed poland.
i also am under the impression that he also came from southern poland (ruled by austria).
if you find out anything let me know.i would like tokeep in touch.do you speak polish? i speak a little.
it almost seems that there might be a familoy connection here.
also did you chack the ss site to get ss applications.
