Hello, Ronald,
I see you are collecting information about Kiedrowskis. Here is my family:
My grandfather was John Kiedrowski (1872-1932). Family sources say he was born in Vilna, near the Baltic Sea. He immigrated to the US in the 1890s and lived most of his life in New York City. He married Ida Waldchen (1876-1956).
His parents were Stanislaus Kiedrowski and Eleanor Petrowski. The family migrated from Vilna to Grudziaz (at the time, in German, Gradenz) in the early 1870s.
Stanislaus and Eleanor Kiedrowski had five or six children.
Stefan Kiedrowski (c. 1873-?), another of their sons, migrated to the US in 1907 (Ellis Island record) and lived in NYC. His wife was Elizabeth and he had children, Harry, born about 1907 and Alice, born about 1909 (1910 census records).
For your data base, do you want the information in any particular format?
Do you know any other decendents of this family?
I know some Kiedrowskis were Kashubians, a cultural group that migrated from Russia to Poland several hundred years ago. I don't know if my family were Kashubians, though.
