Wallace, was my great uncle, Helen was my grandmother and Marie is my great Aunt. Wallace Married Dorothy Schaefer and had a daughter Mary Agnes. Marie Married
Andrew Kitko and Have three children, David, Anthony and Rosalie. Helen married my grandfather Joseph Giza. They had two children Chester Joseph and Genevieve. I know Helen had three other children, but they died very young.
I have been researching my family tree and this is the first I have found referencing the Owczarzak family. Please send me any information that you may have. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi:
My Owczarzak gg grandfather Ignatius came here from Poland 1889-90. He settled in Bay City, MI. He was born in 1863. I don't have any solid info on any siblings or other relatives he may have had that came here.
Would like to compare family info with you to see if there is any connection. You can e-mail me at: bjs917@hotmail.com

Hi Bonnie,
did you have any info about the ship your ancestors came on? And if, how did you get it?

Hi Heide:
Yes I was finally able to find out how and when my great grandparents came here from Poland. I found the info in the Germans to America books. They traveled on the ship California from Hamburg to New York and arrived on 4-1-1890. The spelling of their name listed was OWCZCZOK. I was able to find a few pictures of the ship also after looking through a few sites.
Do you have a connection to this family name? I am still searching for info on Ignatius' siblings that came here too. A brother of his, Valentine, migrated and settled in Chicago and I am hoping to make contact with a descendant. There was also another brother Stanislaus that may or may not have immigrated. I believe Ignatius mother also came to the U.S. with her daughter and son-in-law and their children. They settled in Bay City, MI too.
Would like to hear from you or anyone who may be related to this line.
Happy hunting!
Bonnie

Hi Bonni,
thanks so much for the info. Sorry, but think I am not related to your family side. I am looking for SWIECIKOWSKI and have already found some lines. My ancesters came from a place called Truzkolon close to Witkowo (than Prussia but now Poland). They also settled in Chicago, but because Ellis Island only opened in 1892, I could not make out where to get the records of ships before 1892. I will try your source.
If I can be of any help to you, please let me know. I am living in Germany - that might make it easier to get infos of the polish line.
Heide

My Great Grandmother Magdaline Owczarzak Krzyminski was a sister of your Ignatius. She was born 6-24-1858 in Poland to George and Hattie. I have her obit from 12-27-1935.
It says that her brother Stanley lives in Poland. She had a brother Valentine in Chicago. And Ignatius in Bay City. A sister Mary (John) Palasz in Bay City. Mary was born 12-7-1878 in Poland and died 3-23-1943 in Bay City, MI.
On the 1910 census Magdaline's mother Edith (Hattie) 77yrs. was living with her. I hope to hear from some of you.
