Catherine,
Hope you still watch the message boards and will view this.
I am researching the Purgiel name and believe that we may be able to help each other - Buried in Posen, MI church cemetery is one Franczisek Swiatkowski (1833 - 25 Apr 1896) and a K Swantkowski (sp?) 1840 - 1927.
Also buried there is a John Swan (1870 - 13 Sept 1948). I have a bit more family info to share if you are interested.
Please contact me directly.
Thank you, Brad
