It would be easier if we took this offline that way I don't have to retype a lot of information that I otherwise could just mail you. Click on my name and email me your address. You need to do a couple of things. First come up with some goals for your research - "I want to know everything I can find out" could cost you hundreds of dollars and not make you happy. I think it's best to do as much US research as is reasonable before trying to do research in Poland. You should be able to find Blaze's WWI draft registration card and quite a bit of other info that is relatively low cost. There were three versions of the card I believe and one has closest relative in country of immigration so if your lucky you might find out a name and even an address in Palikowka. In the meanwhile I'll scout around for more info on my own. Blaze's daughter Mary was born in the US Feb 1900, do you know who her Godparents were? Back then they often were relatives. Like I said, need to define what you want to know; Blaze's parents names, his brothers and sisters, his Gawel ancestor's as far back as you can go (1800 is often the limit as records started to be required around that time). For the draft registration we'll need to find an address - maybe we can find him in the 1920 census.

Jozef would not have been a close relative of mine, we came from Widelka which is near your town. I found a record showing that Jozef Gawel, age 35 years, came to the US on February 19, 1912 from Krezczkova, Austria. It gave his brother's name as Wojciech. Based on the name of his town this would seem to be your grandfather. I found two men who could have been Jozef one lived in Connecticut and the other in Cleveland, Ohio. If you would like I can look further and see what more I can find. If your mother or any of her brothers or sisters were born after 1912 then this Jozef would not be the right one. Some times the old records were wrong or misread and you just cannot trace people.
