Lynn,

I don't know much about my great grandpa. I would have to ask my mother. My father died last December 10.
When I find out, I'll let you know.
How are you related to Rodney and Irma Kujat? I think that my grandfather, Leo, was Rodney's Uncle. (I'll need a scorecard for this one!)
I like to know more about our family.
When I was stationed in Germany, a taxi driver said that our family name comes from what was East Germany near the Russian border. I couldn't find any of us in their phone books for they were seperated by city and researching would take too long.
Let's keep in touch.

Dear John,
Please find out what you can, its too bad your father passed away, my dad also passed away when I was 10 years old, he died March 10, 1959 of coronary thrombosis, he was only
34 years old.He was a wonderful man and I have always missed him in my life. My grandfather Frank is also dead of a heart attack.He was a sweetheart and I also miss him. I guess that is why I got interested in
their history, because they were so kind and
such good hearted people, I wanted to know more about their family.
I am not sure about the exact relation to Irma and Rodney, but from family lore, I heard that the Kujat family left Poland and went to Germany, USA and Canada, that there were three original clans of Kujat's in Poland and that the Kujat's that are living today are the decendants of these three clans.
I think that Irma and Rodney are related to me through my great grandfather's siblings,
it was said that there were 10 children in his family and that they came to the US and Canada, at different times and settled in different areas, in the US, but the areas that I know about were: Michigan, Wisconsin,
Pa. Washington and New York, who went where I don't know, but it is my understanding that the Kujat's in these area's are all directly related as they were the brothers and sisters from my great grandfather, so directly or indirectly all of us Kujat's in the US are related. I know when my grand father was living he made trips to these areas of the country and also went to Wyoming to see relatives.I have not been able to find the siblings or their names.On the great grandfather's papers, there is no mention of who his parents are, so for now I am at a dead end, this is all I know for now.
If you can shed any light on this I would be happy to know, but its nice to find another
person interested in the pursuit of the family history. Please stay in touch. I have a brother named John Kujat. It was also my great grandfather's name. Lynn lynnpol@ptd.net

Dear John,
Happy Holidays to you. I hope you can find out a little more about Francis, it is very possible he may be a brother to my great grandfather, as it is believed there was a
Frank or Francis, My grandfather and my uncle are both named Frank, there was also a
someone named Carl, I don't know if it was
their father or another brother, but one of my grandfathers brothers was Carl and both my grandfather and his son have the middle name of Carl, back in those days they named their children after the Grandfather and then the father and the mothers father and
so on, they also did it with the girls, alot of them even used the mother's maiden name in with naming the daughter's. Please keep in touch. Would you send me your email address? Thanks. lynnpol@ptd.net LYNN
