I'm familiar with the Kula line (see my tree). I think the Stanislaus Kula you are referring to was born Apr 1810. I haven't traced this line down but I've been told by other sources a number of Kula's did make their way to the mid-west, I don't have specifics.
The town is spot on. Also if you look into LDS records (and possibly here) a lot of those records have been scanned in (it's rare for that).
Check
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sandlier/marge/galus... the galus lines ties into the kula line and Marge has a lot of info.
I also have DNA mappings on 23andme which could help confirm we are related.
If you are related I'd be more than happy to fill out the tree down that line.
