My great grandmother’s name is AGNES KOS she was born in Poland and lived there until she was 10 - 12 years old. Then she came over here. I am trying to find more information but Unfortunately that is the only information I know.

Do you happen to know much about Agnes' brother John? I think he died in Washington State, but don't know any details, if indeed that's true.

If I have the right Kos line, I think Agnes had at least two brothers. Andrew and John. They too were born in Poland. John served in both WWI and WWII. John was married to my grandfather's sister, that's why I'm asking.

What else do you know about Agnes

I stumbled upon information about Agnes when I was looking for John Kos. He died in 1952 and listed Agnes Lamare from Philadelphia as his sister, John's father was listed as Thomas Kos and his mother was Anna, nee Momrol. Thomas died on Jan 26, 1921, and appears that Anna died that same year. The information on Thomas's death certificate was provided by Andrew Kos, who I assume Is their son, and brother of both Agnes and John. This is all I know. Does this help?

Yes, immensely. It seems that I am related to John Kos. If you have the right Agnes LaMare from Philadelphia, she is my Great Grandmother. However, I had spoken to my grand pop but he has not mention an Andrew or John, just Edward.
