Since 2003, I have been searching for Bronislawa Mackiewicz. She was born October 17, 188 in Kruszki, parish of Przerosl, powiat of Suwalski. Today it is located in the woj. of Podlaskie.
Recently I found her marriage record. I know it is her, even though the names are spelled wrong for her parents. I found this record at
https://familysearch.org/. This is the data listed on the marriage record. Notations is brackets are my comments.

[First name in Polish would have been spelled Antoni. In English he would have been Anthony or Tony. Last name may have been Traszki]

I don't know anything about Bronislawa's husband. It's possible he was from the same village of Kruszki,and his last name may have been Traszki. I say this because when Bronislawa's brother Andrzej Mackiewicz came to the US ion 1909, he went to the home of Michal Traszki, their cousin, who was living in Jersey City. In 2003, when I was in Poland, I found the home of a Traszki family in Kruszki. I later did learn through correspondence, this was the home of the correct family. Michal had two sisters, who also moved to the US. He went back home and married. He and his wife had children, but they all died from the Pandemic.
I have not been able to find Bronislawa and Antoni in any census record. They may have left NJ. This is where I have been concentrating to locate them since I found the marriage record. If anyone knows this family or any of their descendants, if there are any, please contact me. I would very much like to complete list of family members of this branch of our family tree.
