LUKOWSKI Family of Michigan City, La Porte Co., Indiana
Looking for ancestors of my gg grandfather, Franz (Frank) LUKOWSKI. Frank was born 1849 in Prussia (village unknown). Naturalization papers indicate he emigrated 1876. His obit says he settled in Momence, Kankakee Co, Illinois. He married Apollonia BLUEMKE about 1876 (possibly Momence). Their first child, Anna (my g grandmother), was born 2-Dec-1877 in Momence, IL. By 1879 they moved to Michigan City, La Porte Co., Indiana. Franz died 7-Oct-1899 in Michigan City and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery. According to 1900 census, Frank and Apollonia had 6 children, but only two survived. The surviving children were Anna SHULTZ of Hammond, IN and Mary LAKE of Ferndale, WA.
Frank had a brother Michael LUKOWSKI also of Michigan City, IN and Frank's obit mentions an unnamed brother in "the old country." There also appears to be a Michigan connection. According to Michael's obit, he married Rosella DREWS c1882 in Wyandotte, MI.
