Michael was my gggrandfather. He married Maryanna Lechowicz and they had 7 children in Szczucin, County Dombrowa, state of Tarnow. His son Joseph(b. 1876), a shoemaker in Poland, was my ggrandfather who came to US(Ware, Mass.) before 1903. He married Anna Markot and had 12 children. Five are still alive and this is where I get my information. Joseph's siblings were Wojcick(stayed in Poland), Magdalena, Agnes, Michael(came to US), Catherine and Zofia. I do not know the birth order but am quite sure that Zofia(Sophie) was the youngest. I would like to find out more information about the Szczepaneks both in Poland and in the US. I have recently discovered that daughter of either Magdalena, Catherine or Agnes was named Bronislawa Loch and that she went to Michigan. It was written in some family papers that she and her cousin Mary Curylo(of Chicopee, Mass.) knew the most about the Szczepaneks. Are there any relatives out there? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at
