I am researching my Grandfather. His name was Wiktor Piwowar on his passportbut later changed to Victor Pevovar. He was a coal miner in PA. I have the ships manifest that has his name on it. I also have his application for citizenship, which shows he was from Poland or Czechoslovakia.

Hi Stan, My grandfather was Jan (John) Piwowar, changed to Pivovar here in the states. Born in 1880, he was from Biesna, Poland. He came to the US sometime before 1912 (my oldest aunt's birth year) and married my grandmother Bronislawa (Blanche) Cwiklik. They lived in McDonald, PA and he also was a coal miner. Their children were Mary, Stanley!(actually Adelbert, but that is a LONG story ;)), Frank, Joseph, and Stella. John died in 1950.
His parents were Jan Piwowar, and Magdalena Truchan. Jan's parents were Sebastian Piwowar and Maria Wiejaczka. Magdalena was the dau. of Sebastian Truchan, and Agatha Fec, there is an accent over the c.
Grandfather had sisters Sophie and Mary, but I know absolutely nothing about them.
Happy Thanksgiving. Vickie

I am responding to Marylin Talbot. My grandfathers name was Joseph Piwowar. He was also a coal miner in western PA. I do not have much information about him. I believe he came from Poland in the early 1900's. He came to the US on a ship, I believe with his twin sister and mother. I will try to find more info. If you know of where I could find his record of entering the US, or any other help in finding my family history, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Stanley Piwowar

Hi Victoria,
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but my computer was down. It seems that Piwowars did a lot of coal mining when coming to the US. I have also had contact with a Marylin Talbot. Her grand fater was also a miner. If you have any more info about the piwowar family, I would be happy to hear about it.
Happy Holidays, Stan

Hello, My name is Robert Piwowar I am the son of Gerald Piwowar of Detroit. His father was Joesph, he passed in June of 97. I am trying to find if my Grandfather had any children before he married Mildred Green some time between 1948 - 1950. There are rumors he married before he went to fight in WWII. When he came back his then wife had started a realationship with another man. Joesph then married my Grandmother, who died in 1986. I have ran into other Piwowar's while I was in High-School. One of them was Cheryl Piwowar, she graduated in 1998. My father does not talk about Grandpa. My father was the oldest of four children(Gerald, Elizabeth, Cindy, Debbie all born in Detroit). Some things I know about my grandfather are, worked off and on at Kelsey Hayes as a Tin Smith, Alcoholic, would not allow my Grandmother to divorce him . She was often hospitilized from beatings. Even though this is all I know about him because of my fathers realationship with him I never got to hear his stories, or find out if my Father really does have two half brothers living the Detroit area. A list of names of people whom knew a Joseph Piwowar or if you think my Grandfather is Jan (John) Piwowar's son please contact me with any bits a chuncks off information. This will be GREATLY appreciated.

Nice to hear more about the Piwowar family and name. From other Piwowars. I have heard a lot of the same. It seems our family came name came from Poland region in the ealy 1900's.
Please email with any information you may know of the Piwowar name. I once referenced it in a Polish dictionary and found it meant "beer maker" or "brewer" ?????
