I have traced my family back to the Lublin area. The earliest I can go back is:
Andrezj Pekala born around 1860 in Nieciecz, Lubelskie, Poland. He had two daughers also born in the same area. I believe Andrezj lived his life in the area and never came to the U.S.
His daughers are:
Wictoria Pekala born 1885 and her younger sister, Wlayslawa born about 1887.
Wictoria (Victoria) married Filip Mroz and emigrated to the US in 1907, I believe Wlayslawa stayed behind and her married name is Kochanowska. The other village I have associated the family with is Wolka also in Lubelskie, Poland.
Any information would be great to have.
