sjbeyers@shawneelink.netI had written in January 2005 about my grandmother, whose maiden name was Kmieciak. I have finally found where she and some siblings were born and married. They were born in Koninko, Posen, which is about 12 kilometers south east of Posen. I found that they lived there from mid 1870's to the early 1900's or later. I will use English names. My grandmother, Antoinette and siblings, Martin, and Frank (Francis) were born in Koninko and married in the area. I have found the records on microfilm from LDS. Yhe town of Miloslaw is about 50 kilometers SE of Posen.
Their father was John Kmieciak, born 1844, and Mother was Katherine Glowczeski. They remained in Poland. John's brother, Thomas, came to Milwaukee about 1880 and had 2 children, John and Martha. My grandmother came with her husband, Francis Xavier Waskowiak, to live with their family.
The elder John had older children, Maryanne, Anna, and Melchior, but I do not know where they were born. In the US census, Uncle Thomas was born in Poland Austria. I will look for records in your area for a possible connection. Have you found records of your family in Poland?
