INDEX

[N1687] I put together the following information for you. I have documents for my ggrandparents death from the Archives in Pil~a.
Aunt Mary - 1893/1979
Aunt Millie - 1894/1973
Aunt Sophie - 1879/1968, South Bend
Aunt Severina - 1899/1975, South Bend

Uncle Ziggy - 1911/1994, South Bend
Edwin - 1914-1994, South Bend
Aunt Mary and Aunt Millie were born before the family came to the United States. However, I do not know where in Poland. I don't think they even knew. Father Mike and I have discussed this and I believe that from what he has told me, that they were born in Kalisany were my Grandfather's family lived. My Grandfather Max was a fisherman in Poland and my aunts said the family was from Rybowa (fish). That is the only association I can figure out. If you checked the website, you can see photos of the original family home in the village Kalisany.
Jakub was born in Pila in 1831 and died in 1917 in Kalisany; married Ottlylia Neumann in Germany, possibly Berlin, unsure since I have no documentation on this, about 1866 during his service in the Prussian Army.
Max was born in 1869 in Poland. (I haven't found this documentation yet, but I assume that since he was the second son, it was probably at the family home in Kaliszany.) At least my cousin in Poland could not locate his birth record in either church or archive records during her search.) Married Aniela Nowaczewska on 18 Oct 1892, this was registered in Wagrowiec, , Pila, Poland. They were married in my Grandmother's home church, Dombrowo county Wongrowitz. (This is what was translated from the German script.)
I think that I have answered your questions. Let me know if this makes sense to you.
