Help with Twarog/ Ziolkos family history

Surnames: Twarog/Ziolkos/Pinkos/Piekos
I am looking for any information on my great grandmother Katarzyna Twarog she was born on November 4, 1897 in Poland and died in August of 1985 in Somerset, MA. She did change her name to Kate (Katie) once here in the U.S. She married a Sobek (Sebastyan, Sebastian) Pinkos (Piekos) on October 13, 1917 and her name then changed to Kate Pinkos, they owned a home in Westport MA. I am also looking for any information at all on her parents, the names I have listed on her marriage license is Kajta Twarog and Zofia Ziolkos, I do have her baptism record however it's in polish and can't translate it. I don't know if her parents ever came to the states and finding any information has been difficult, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have Twarog ancestry, but I don't recognize any of the names in your posting. Do you know which town in Poland your great-grandmother was from? My relatives were from Jaszczew, near Krosno. Since you have her baptismal record maybe we can see the hometown there. Feel free to send me a private message through this site and we can compare notes.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply, I did go back and look at the Batisimal paper and it seems to list the town/city of Bialkowka.I'm not sure if this is the town she came from or just where the church was located, since it is written in Polish. I wonder if this town is located near your ancestors. Any updates would be great, thanks..

Hi Jamie,

Bialkowka is the neighboring town from where my great grandfather was from (Jaszczew). See here: http://goo.gl/maps/VEqZ

I have recently found some additional information about Twarog families still in the areas, although I have not had much success finding links to my great-grandfather. I will send you a private message and will be happy to share what I know.
