Hi
I am just beginning my research on this side of the family. I have done quite a bit on the other parts of the family. I am looking for a connection with a Helen Gora born probably in the early 1900's in Cook County, Ill. She married George Chrusciel in Ill. I am wandering do you possibly have any connections to Helen Gora.
Thank you
Tiffany

Hello I was looking at the Gora posting and was interested in Anthony Gora if you know where he originated? and if you were able to find any of his family?
I too am researching the Gora Gorra name .

My great great grandfather 's name was sylvester Gora he was Born Dec 31 , 1860 in Prussia ,his parents were Thomas Gorra and Margaret Laureck. I just found him on the Hamburg ship list and they had him age 23 in 1881 which was an error but anyway he sailed first to Baltimore then on to Canada where he settled and married a woman Mary Pasko who we believe also immigrated from Prussia before him and had his children two of his Girls immigrated back to the U.S one to Chicago and the other to Michigan.

His childrens names were Mary, John, Micheal Thomas, Hannah, Agnes, Joseph Robert, Katie.

The Gora name has been misspelt many times in Canada now I am Gorra but, but on shiplist he was called Gora.

When Silvester Gora immigrated he also had a Dominick Gora age 30 with him and a Marriane Gora 23 and also a baby Max Gora 9 months. if this connects with you plzzz contact me vias email.I am wondering if Anthony could have been brother? cousin?

Surnames: Gora, Gorra, Laureck, Pasco
I have Gorra (Gora) in my line which came from Ilowa Prussia too the U.S. then too Canada and couple went back too U.S. Chicago .
on my g-grandfathers ship list his name was spelt Gora ,
Sylvester Gora (Sylvester meaning NewYears in German) born Dec. 31, 1860 his port was Bremer&Bremerhavin too Baltimore in 1881 his parents were Margaret Laureck and Thomas Gora would your Anthony be connected too this man? I believe they had connections too Chicago because two of his daughters moved there from Canada.
I have been unable to locate Sylvesters' parents whereabouts or any of his siblings his wife was MAry Pasco (pascoff)their children names were Mary, John, Thomas, Hanna (anna), Agnes, Joseph, Robert, Catherine.

Also on the ship list there were three other Gora's Marriane 23 yrs, Max 9 months, and Dominik 33.

I am actually not a Gora, but I am trying to find one. His name is James Gora and he lived in Brookfield, IL as a kid and moved around a bit. His mother's name is Karen gora and I think she may live in Il still. He would be some where between 23 and 25 by now. If you can help in any way please let me know.
