Surnames: Kwak,
My grandmother was Agnes Kwak, born January, 1888, died December, 1945 and came from a small town in Poland, called Rogoznik.

In 1985, I was in Poland in a town call Konufkia (spelling???) and there were 35 Kwak families living in that town and I was related to most of them, second and third cousins.

She had a brother, Thomaz Kwak, who came to the US many times to visit her in Missouri. Thomaz was married twice and lived to be late 70's or early 80's.

Is there any familiarity to any of the information above?

Surnames: Tatar, Tylka, Kwak, Mrozek
I have a copy of a delayed birth certificate for John Tylka filed 12 Apr 1943. John Tylka is my first cousin 3 times removed. The certificate states that two affidavits were submitted on John's behalf, one from Agnes Wielkiewicz and another from Mary Mrozek. In addition there is also a sworn statement by Walenty Kwak who was residing at 13 Muskingum Street Depew, NY, age 65. The sworn statement was signed by Walenty on 26 Mar 1943. Walenty relationshhip to John Tylka is listed as uncle. John's father was Joseph Tylka. Joseph and one of his brothers, Jacob, came from Rogoznik in 1893 and settled in Depew, NY.

In addition, I have a copy of baptismal entry I rec'd from Sts. Peter and Pauls Church in Depew, NY for my great grandfather's sister, Irene Tatar and Mary Mrozek is listed as the godmother. My second great grandfather, Antoni Tatar, came over to the US with Joseph & Jacob Tylka in 1893. In 1896 he married their younger sister, Rozalia Tylka.

I'm curious to know if Walenty Kwak is linked to your grandmother, Agnes Kwak. Also, is Mary Mrozek linked to your family?

Thank you
