I am related to a Joseph Krygier, born in Buffalo around 1906 - his parents were Bartomiej and Anna. He had 9 brothers and sisters. He may have married a woman named Doris...Does any of this sound like your ancestors:

Hi Cailyn, I wonder if we're relatives! My ggfather was Bartomiej Krygier, also known as Bart and Bartholomew. He was born abt. 1859 in what was Tressen, Posen, Russia.He came to the US in 1880 on the ship "Fresia, which left on June 9, 1880 from Hamburg, Germany and Le Havre, France. Posen was a province of Prussia from 1848-1918, and part of the German Empire from 1871-1918, then became part of poland in 1945.

He married Anna Schultz, who was born abt. 1870 in Prussia. They had 10 children:
Anthony Henry Krieger, b. Nov. 26, 1893 in Buffalo, died Dec. 18, 1969 in Long Beach, California. He married Marie Christina Moroge, and they had 2 children: Eleanore Marie, my mother, b. April 17, 1920,died 2005, and Henry Norman, b.1923, died 1996. Henry had 1 daughter, Marilyn, who lives near Buffalo.

Stanislaus F. Krygier,b. Apr. 5, 1888, died 1968 in Buffalo, and married Lottie unknown. They lived in Buffalo all thier lives, and had a daughter, Irene.

Rozalia Krygier, aka Rose, b.abt. 1889, married Adalbert unknown sometime between 1905-1910. City directories show them living in Buffalo up till 1921, but no mention after that.

John B. Krygier, b. avt. 1891, married Clara unknown sometime after 1910, their 1st child was born in 1911. They are listed in the city directory as living at 141 Woltz St. from 1941-50.

Helen Krygier, b. abt. 1897. In 1920 city directory she was living at 208 Clark st.

Mary Krygier, b. abt. 1899, still living w/ family on 208 Clark St. in 1922.

Marta Krygier, b. about 1902, still living w/ family at 208 Clark St. in 1922.

Clara Krygier,, b. abt. 1904 - no mention after the 1920 census.

Joseph Krygier, b. abt. 1906, married Doris unknown, living on Clark St. in 1927.

Theodore J. Krygier, b. abt.1912, married Blanche unknown on April 23, 1935, died Jan. 1, 1966 and buried in St. Stanislaus RC Cemetary. He had been in a head on car crash, and died at the scene.

Bart and Anna, aka Anastazja, are buried at St. Stanislaus RC Cemetary as well, but there are no markers for them or Theodore.

I was back in Buffalo in October, and finally met my 1st cousin, Marilyn, Norman's daughter - we connected finally through Ancestry! I was only there 3 days, and spent most of the time in the geneology section of the main library downtown. I'm sure there is lots more info there, that I didn't have time to acquire. Would love to hear from any relatives, as Marilyn and I feel like we might be the end of the line! As you noted, our grandfather, Anthony, changed his last name to Krieger, so there appear to be many spellings of this relatively uncommon name.

Wow so much info! I have to talk to my grandpa and other relatives to see if any of those people are from my family. However, I believe most of my family is from Poland. I'm not positive and will get back to you soon!

Surnames: Krygier/Krieger
This is a response to an old post in 2007. I recently began researching my families history. Clara Krygier (Krieger 1904-1988) was my maternal grandmother. One of her brothers was Joseph (1906-1973) he had a son Joseph whose children were Marc, Gary and Debra. I've been able to trace the family line back to my great grandparents Bartholomiej (Bartholomew/Bart 1854-1921) Krygier and Anastazja (Anna 1872-1945) Schultz.

I recently began researching my family history. The Krygiers are my maternal line. Clara was my maternal grandmother, married to Bernard Arendt. My mother Virginia was one of two children, and married my father Chester Daruszka. Lynne has provided me with great information which I will add to my tree. This is the first time I've searched the posts, and I'm glad I did. I'd love to learn more about the Krygier family in Buffalo. Currently living in Chicago, coming home in May for Mother's Day.
