hi,
i saw the szelag in your post, so that is why i am responding...
my great-grandfather was michal szelag stocki. born a szelag and changed his name to stocki. his parents were kenneth and alexandria. his siblings (all born 1880's, 90's) were joseph, andew, john, judwik, kasia, and teofila. michael and
some of his siblings came to detroit by way of quebec, then ontario and then to michigan. is any of this similar to your szelag?
thanks, kathy
