Leanne,
All that I know right now is what I have listed in my message. I am also trying to trace my family tree and have gotten as far back as my great grandparents Paul Pelagia Romanowski, and his youngest sister Alexandria (Romanowski) Gwiazdowski. I know that they also had 2 brothers but have not been able to find out their names. They immigrated to the US from poland around 1900 or just before, coming through the barrows in NYC. I know that they settled in or around Long Island for a while and then Alexandrias name appears in the Erie Pa. county records I believe in 1910. I'm pretty sure it was an obituary for their daughter. I have not had any more luck in obtaining more info as of yet but am still working on it. If Your father is the Leon that is in my family tree, you would have an aunt Nancy Klein, and your grandparents names i believe would be Leon Mary (Kozell) Gwiazdowski. If so then Alexandria Joseph Gwiazdowski would be your great grandparents on your fathers side. The woman that gave me this information is Patricia (Kurasz) Barden. She would be Your fathers Aunt Genevive's daughter. If this is your family tree please contact me. we hold a reunion every spring and have been trying to find more family members to come every year. Also If this is your tree I have Addresses and phone numbers for you to contact and I can send you all that I have on our two branches dateing from pre-1887 in poland to today including 1st and last names, maiden and married names and children. there are some holes that we are still trying to fill in and maybe you hopefully can help. I hope to hear from you soon. Tony

Dear Tony,
I was wondering if you had any information on my grandfather Erwin Gwiazdowski. The info on him I have is quite vague, I know that when he was very young his mother died, his father then re-married, and soon he also passed away, for some reason I think my grandad ran away from home. I know he had a a half sister called Irena Liszka who lived in Germany.
I would be grateful if you could send me any info you have on the Gwiazdowski`s. If you need me to find out any more info I'll do my best.
Take care
Yours
Asia.

While doing research on my ancestors, the Boguts, we came across some Gwiazdowskis from Russ/Poland who came to America and lived in Mt.Carmel, PA. They were Joseph and Josephine. Joseph died in 1904(church records) and I can't find anything more on Josephine other than she sold a property in Mt. Carmel in 1911. We have reason to believe her maiden name was Bogut.
They had at least one son. His name was Boleslaw and he married an Annie Wanzie in 1906. I'm having trouble finding more on the PA Gwiazdowskis.
Joseph and Josephine were godparents to at one of Frank and Valeria Bogut's sons.

I was doing a broad search on my "old" last name and came across your post. My "old" last name is Yenchick and my
father, Michael was John Yenchicks brother. I know because I
remember everyone calling my aunt, aunt Val and because my cousin's names were JJ (John J) and Susan.
At one point in my life I looked at my fathers birth certificate
and saw that it said Mikel Jenczik not Michael Yenchick. When I asked my father, he said that in Perth Amboy NJ where he had started school that the teachers had too much
trouble pronouncing the names of immigrants so they would
spell the phonically...so Jenczik became Yen-chick. I change
my name back to the orginal.
If this is of any help or if you need to talk to me more, email
me. thanks

Surnames: Gwiazdowski
I don't know if you are still checking this website but we might share relatives. I am the granddaughter of Walter John Gwiazdowski (DOB is 10/7/1916). He is now deceased.

I remember a family member telling me that he was in a New York Orphanage as a child? Does anyone have details on this? I have no information about his possible siblings or parents. I remember hearing the name Genevieve, I wonder if this could have been a sister.

Please write back if you know of any information that might be helpful.

Surnames: Bosang Romanowski
Hello! I am the Valerie Corigliano spoken of in your old post. I have recently been tracing both sides of my family and would love to correspond with you! My mother is Virginia Alice Bosang, daughter of Blanche. My sister's name is Roann.My mother tells me that the reason Joseph and Alexandria moved to Linden, where I currently live and where my mother was born, was that Delores died from the cold in Erie (pneumonia?). I found thru searches on ancestry their street addresses in Erie, and looking online in current maps, found that the homes they lived in are still standing! Blanche and all her siblings and husbands/wives are all passed on, and so is John Jr (JJ). Roann and I are both now divorced from Steven and John respectively. I have a son, Matthew and Ro has a daughter Sarah. Please reply, I'd love to hear more from you and about this side of my family! You can email to vcorigliano@yahoo.com if you wish. Thank you so much!

Surnames: Gwiazdowski Yenchick Jenczik
Hello! I am Valerie Corigliano. My great-uncle was John Yenchick, his wife Valentina (who we knew as Violet) was sister to Blanche. My mom, Virginia is Blanche's daughter. We visited their home in Perth Amboy when I was young a few times, I remember a pool in their backyard. I recall being at their daughter Susan's wedding when I was young. JJ passed away a few years back, but my mother writes to Susan on occasion, but we haven't seen her in many years. I did not know of the name change from Jenczik. My grandfather Cecil Bosang - his name was originally Boschung or Buschong or similar, so I know how that happens. Would love to hear more from you and more about your family!
