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
