YUSAVITZ, YUSEWICZ, YUSEWISZ, JUSIEWICZ, YUSAVAGE, YUSAGE, USAVAGE of Lackawanna County, PA
On a recent trip to St. Michael's Cemetery in Simpson, PA, I tried to locate the tombstone of Rafal (aka Ralph) YUSAVITZ (1889-1944) with no luck. I was able to locate the tombstone of his wife Maryanna (ZAKVRESKY / ZEKREWSKI / ZAKVRESKA / ZECRESKI / ZOTSEWISKOE / SAKURSKI) YUSAVITZ. It is under the name of “Mary Anna YUSEWICZ, 1887-1936”. Next to her tombstone were two belonging to Rafal's brother written as “Andrzej YUSEWICZ, 1893-1933,” and “Andrew YUSEVITZ”. Next to Andrzej's tombstones is the tombstone of another brother and his wife, “Paul YUSAVAGE, 1879-1957,” and “Stefanie YUSAVAGE, 1887-1951”. Next to Paul's tombstone was another belonging to Paul's son and his wife, “Zyprian S. YUSAVAGE, 1910-1973,” and “Valeria M. YUSAVAGE, 1917-2003”. Through the 1910 Census, I have discovered that another brother was living with Rafal's family, listed as Borescf YUSEWISZ (abt 1885-?). Census research shows that Paul also had a daughter listed as Stella USAVAGE in 1920 and Stella YUSAGE in 1930. I have even seen the surname spelt as JUSIEWICZ in the Social Security Death Index. With so many different spellings of the surname YUSAVITZ, it is no wonder that 2 of Rafal's sons legally changed their last name to JAYE. Rafal, Andrzej, Paul and Borescf YUSAVITZ’s parents were Joseph YUSAVITZ and Catherine (ARTKIEWICZ) YUSAVITZ of Galicia / Lithuania / Poland. I have located all of the descendants of Rafal YUSAVITZ but I have no information of the descendants of the other brothers. I am looking for information on Andrzej, Paul and Borescf plus their descendants. Many of them might still be living in North East PA, especially under the surname of YUSAVAGE.
