I think I have found that Maciez Goral (born 1850) must have changed his name to Martin when he immigrated to the USA. I can find him in the census records from Eaton, WI from 1900 married to Augusta (born 1848) where they had 7 kids: John (1874), Anton (1876), Walter (1881), Stanley (1883), Theodore (1884), Ignatius (1887), and Joseph (1889).

Ignatius (Nick) Goral born Feb. 1, 1887 in Eaton, Brown, Wisconsin and died Sept. 17th, 1964. He was my great grandfather. Therefore, Martin (or Maciez) would be my great, great grandfather.

Ignatius married Hedwig, also called Hattie, Tarkowski (1890-1979) in 1907 in Eaton, WI. They had 14 children Emma (1908-1998), Andrew (1909-1981), Edward (1911-2004), Nicholas (b 1913), Raphael (1914-1992), Magdelene (1916-1984), Regina (1918-2007), Esther (b 1919), Bernard (b 1921), Leonard (1923-2005), Lorriane (1925- ), Joan (1927-1976), Ignatius (1930-1992), Lillian (1931-1994).

Leonard Goral was my grandfather. He married Beatrice DeKeyser (1929-) in 1950 in Green Bay, WI. They moved to the Milwaukee area and had 7 children: Craig (1951-), Keith (1952-1970), Linda (1953-), Patricia (1954-), Deborah (1956-), Blaine (1960-), and Pamela (1964-).

Patricia, who is my mother, married Mark Landowski and had 3 kids: (Christopher, Brian, and Nicholas). We live in the suburbs of Milwaukee.

I have heard that my grandfather (Leonard Goral) had relatives out in Michigan and had went there on occasion to visit them. They must be related to Ignitius' brother John. So likely chickenlegs and I are related somehow.

I am the son of Ignatius Goral Jr. (actually spelled Gorall as the last two children of Ignatius and Hedwig had and extra l added to their names when they were born as the older siblings apparently thought it would seem less Polish, and apparently in 1932 you wanted to sound/seem less Polish) and the grandson of Ignatius Goral Sr. and Hedwig from the town of Poland Wisconsin. I was just in Poland this past weekend and visited the graves of both Jr. and Sr.
