Lived in chicago area since about 1909. Bulanda's and Abram's are realted. Contact me by e-mail--Dajmebuzi2@aol.com

My husband's Grandmother was Susanna Twarog and her
brother's name was Franciszek. We know very little
about the family other than they came from Poland in 1898.
Susanna's parents were Peter Twarog and Sophia Gondela we
believe. I have further information if you would like
to contact me.

My husband's grandparents came from Poland(sounds like Gariesiveatsa and Ganeasavitsa,
an upper and lower village) around 1910.They
didn't know each other in Poland,but met and
married near Buffalo,NY. Twarog means cottage
cheese in Polish, sour milk in Russian. Maybe
dairy farmers? Vincent Twarog and Katherine
Grondziel Twarog had at least 8 children. Their Son,my father in law left home during
the depression, and lied about his age to get
into a CCC camp. Vincent Twarog Jr. wasn't
old enough, but lied again to join the merchant marines. The Merchant Marines misspelled His last name to Tworog. He didn't
speak up to correct the misspelling,because
he wanted the work. My in-laws Vincent
Margaret Tworog live in Noblesville, Indiana

In Buffalo there is a Stanley Twarog,Ted
Steve(twins)Twarog. Might be more,but I can't keep them straight.

Must be connected back there somewhere.

I have an Anna Twarog in my family tree. Her family is very unknown to ours. And we had no whereabouts to hers. Maybe you can help me find missing links to my family. I only can tell you that her name was Anna. I remember very little of her but she was my Great Great Grandmother.

Thanks a lot for asking. In my family chain I have 7 of unknown parents. Which means that we don't know who their parents are. Anna Twarog is one of them. I know she must of had some relations alive perhaps. But, please get back to me when you can and thank you! Carlyn~

I was fascinated to see that there is another Tworog family out there. My paternal grandfather, Joseph Twarog, came to Rhode Island from Poland as a young boy (1920s?). He later changed the name to Tworog because he felt that it would be easier to pronounce. He sure was wrong! My family pronounces the name as 2-rog...does your family pronounce it the same way? My grandfather had a brother named Chester and a sister named Genevieve (who both also ended up in Rhode Island), but beyond that, I know little of his family history. Do any of the Tworogs/Twarogs out there have any knowledge of Joseph, Genevieve or Chester's ancestry? If so, I'd love to hear...please send me an email at etworog@hotmail.com, and thanks in advance for any help that you can offer! -Erica Tworog

Does anyone have any information that ties in with the following? I'd love to hear from you - thanks in advance for any help! -Erica Tworog, etworog@brandeis.edu

My grandfather, Joseph Tworog, was born Jozef Twarog on Februrary 17, 1920 in Rhode Island. He subsequently changed the name to Tworog while in grade school, believing (quite mistakenly!) that it would be easier to pronounce. He had two sisters, Mary (1911~1970s) and Genevieve (1913-present), both of whom went on to have children. He also had three brothers, none of whom had any children: Chester (1922-1995), John (1905-?, died young from a drowning accident), and Frank (1909~1970s). All of the children assumed the new surname spelling and lived in the Warwick/Coventry, Rhode Island area. Their parents were Andrew Twarog (1881-1964) and Sophie (Zofia) Wanat (~1880s-1956), both of whom emigrated from Poland to Rhode Island at an unknown date and never learned to speak English.
