Kuzma OPALANKO?

Kuzma OPALANKO?

I'm looking for information on my g-grandfather's brother, Kuzma OPALANKO. Kuzma arrived in PA from Austria in 1905 and went to Reading, PA to join his brother Stefan. Both brothers were born ~1880, but I don't know if they were twins. I don't know anything else about Kuzma, but I have more info on Stefan if anyone's interested.

Thanks!

Opalanka, Stefan Rotterdam 23 1880 1903
Opalanko, Kuzma Bernuhora 25 1880 1905
No location Bernuhora but possible it should be Belnichowa/Bernickowe/Bermichowa/Bizossilecoco/Bizuohowa but neither of these spellings are correct.

Thank you for the info on Bezmichowa. I found an additional transciption of Kuzma's birthplace as Risnickowa on a ship manifest written in German, and I'm convinced you found the correct location for him. Thanks again!

Surnames: Spolski
Hi we are beginning in genealogy. My grandfather was born in Rudenko. His name is Stanley (ewstachj) Spolski. There is also a tie to Melnyk. His brother is John and Joseph Spolski. Stanley served in the WW1. Any tips on getting records. We are very new to this and having a hard time. My family lived in Rudenko and Olszanica. On my fathers side we are researching Dolinski.

Other ties would be Bentkowsky

thanks

Thank you so much. I have a lot to learn and this is going to help. My mother who lived in Olszanica from 1930 to 1942 is staying with us this month and we are trying to get as much information as we can in establishing our genealogy

My Mother-in-law was Katherine Spolska who was born in Rudenka and immigrated in 1913. My wife and I spent 2 days in the Rudenka area last August. She lit a candle at her Grandmothers Karolina Mielniczek (Polish spelling) Melnyczok (Ukraian) grave in Rudenka, visited the schoolhouse, church and train station (Olszanica) that they all left from.

Lets share the information that has been collected.
