Korab, Sofia (sp) married to John Barc - Any info?

Surnames: Barc, Barch, Wos,
I am trying to trace my family tree and have several avenues to attack. I am quite new at this so I don't know if this is how to start at it or not. My great grandmother was Sofia Korab. She married a John Barc (Helon?) and had several children: Stanley, Catherine, Walter, Mary Veronica, Eddie, and Baby Boy Barch who died at birth in 1921. I think that Eddie's granddaughter is also researching this but I have not spoken to her yet. Anyway... I know that Sofia had at least four sisters and one brother. Last names were bednarczyk, wos, and sobczyak when the three sisters were married. I know very little of the John Barc history. I know that Sofia came here from Poland and that her brother may still be there. I also have family in Poland but speak little polish. My grandfather (94 years on 31 May) speaks it and talks to them via letter, but I am trying to find out how we are related. If you can help with any of this please e-mail me. I would be happy to see if I can get a translation from my grandfather if necessary. Also, my grandfather is in Pennsylvania. All of his brothers and sisters have passed away. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Mary,
I have a Zofia Korab who was born in Poland and her father was Albert Korab but we don't know who the mother was. He remarried a Marisha Szurley and they had 7 kids, 5 girls and 2 boys. Stanislaw, Jozef, Katarzyna (my ggrandma) Salomea, Anna, Regina, and Jozefine, the girls married names were Michalewich (my ggma), Dudek, Zolnierz, Soltys, and Bednarz and the last one looks similiar to one of the names you mentioned. Stanislaw went to Plainfield, Ct. and Jozef went to Cleveland, Ohio, and Anna went to Philly the rest stayed here in Fall River, Ma do you think we're related? My e-mail address is messed up so answer here and when its fixed we'll talk more. Maryann

Maryann, I had lost track of you, sent a request to C. Sunderland for help, no reply. I'm not sure I saved the message I had sent to you about names on marriage certificate, or whatever, but I will look.By the way, who is John Barc. I've not come across that name in any of my searching. I do have some info on Michalewich from the 1920 census, but unable to find anything in 1930, not even Albert and Mary Parker, nor my own parents. Get in touch .
Note my new e mail address.
