Hi to all of you! My great grandfather was Michael Sawalich, born 1878 in Farienen, Germany, now a part of Poland. His wife was Anna Henrietta Kollin (sp?) born 1881 also in Germany. They had Henry, Amelia, Elfieda, Max, Eric and Amanda. They immigrated circa 1908 through Ellis Island. Elfieda died as a small child in Pennsuylvania. Michael and Anna were divorced but not sure of the date. Michael died in 1924. Michael's parents were Adam Sawalich and Marie Russman (Kussman, Rohrman). Anna died in 1964. Anna's parents were presumably Hermann Kollin and Anna Linka. Anna and Michael lived in West Frankfort, Franklin County, Illinois. Please let me know if any of this rings a bell. Thanks.
