Joseph Serafin b. abt. 1886 - lived Detroit, MI

In the course of researching my grandmother, I found information on the Serafin family. My great-grandmother's maiden name was Serafin, married name Bialek.

When my grandmother came to the US in 1913, she was traveling with her cousin Stanislawa Serafin. Stanislawa was going to her brother Joseph's home in Detroit. On the ship manifest Stanislawa's father was listed as Jozef Serafin from Linne, Poland. Stanislawa, as well as my grandmother was born in Linne, Poland. At that time Linne was in the area under Russian control. Today it is in the district of Turek, province of Wielkopolskie, Poland.

I did find Joseph Serafin on the 1910 Census living in Detroit. He was about 24 years old, born in Russia, married to Clara (married less than 1 year)and immigrated in 1904. On the 1930 census he has 3 daughters living with him Adalaide 19, Virginia 17 and Salma 15.

Hope this helps someone.

Nancy
