Not sure if there is a connection, my grandmother, Victoria Gwozdz, married Jan Rapa, they settled in Chicopee. That was between 1910-1913. This may be a cousin or sister of the person you are describing as I was told my father had cousins in the area. Do you know if the man was born in Polish-Austria?

Carl Rapa,

This is very interesting. I thought that Victoria Rapa's maiden name was Ogozalek and was the sister of Louisa Ogozalek Pajak. Also that Anna Rapa Swisz and your father was my mothers first cousin, Agnes Ogozalek Wydock. We thought that Victoria was my mother's aunt. I am trying to find Sarah Ogozalek do not know married name from Chicopee. She wrote article about the Family Store in Chicopee.

Carl Rapa, My grandfather, Peter Ogozalek along with his brother joseph imigrated from Galacia, polish austria in 1892. Joseph went back for his sisters. When did Victoria come to US and what is her date of birth? I received alot of information from Edwin Pajak who lives in Chicopee and whose grandmother was Louisa Ogozalek Pajak. You can reach me @ (619) 401-1284 or LWYDOCK @aol.com

Are you related to Gary S. Gwozdz of Chicopee who was killed at the age of 28 in 1984. I have been looking for his cemetery.

Thanks
