Wdowiak families of Oswego NY (from Galicia)

Wdowiak families of Oswego NY (from Galicia)

Surnames: Wdowiak, Doviak
I am looking for information about the Wdowiak (Doviak) families that settled in the Oswego, NY area. As far as I can tell, there were at least 5 brothers that came over in the early 1900s from Galicia (possibly a place called Brzezew). They were Marcin (Martin), Andrew, Frank, Thomas, and Casimer (Kaiser). Four of the brothers and their families lived at 64 and 66 Hart Street on the west side of Oswego according to the 1920 and 1930 Census.

The only brother found in the Ellis Island records was Marcin...he was listed as coming over around 1910 to meet up with a "brother" named Feliks Bladek. Marcin's mother's name was listed as Marramia Wdowiak.

I have a lot of information for the brothers and their descendants, but am looking now for more information on their ancestry. Any help would be great!

I believe my great grandfather is the Frank Wdowiak that you are looking for. He does have 4 brothers named Martin, Andrew, Thomas and Kazimierz. I have not been able to find anything on them in the Ellis Island records. If you could let me know what information you have on the brothers I would appreciate it and i would be happy to try and help you with anything i can.

thanks!
