[N7198] MARY NOWINSKI VERSUS JULIANNE UNKNOWN NOWINSKI
*****************************************************
The 1900 census indicates that Nikodem [Sr], had been married to his then wife, Mary[anna], 29 years and that they had immigrated in 1891. Therefore, it appears that Nikodem [Sr] and Maryanna m. in Poland 1870/1871. Nikodem [Jr] was born in Poland in 1866, indicating that his mother was not Maryanna, but a prior wife of Nikodem [Sr]. She apparently died in Poland, and her name may have been Julianne but I don't have a source for knowing. The 1900 census indicates that Maryanna Nowinski had had 5 children, 3 living. The household included daughter Mary, 28, b. Sep 1871. Given that Nikodem and Maryanna had been married 29 years, Mary appears to have been the oldest of Nikodem's & Maryanna's children. The other two of their three living children, Frank and Antonia, are identified as Nikodem's children by their St. Hedwig Church marriage records, and as hers by their dates of birth in the mid 1870s, and altogether, appearing again to rule out that Nikodem [Jr] (1866-1903) was one of Maryanna's children. Maryanna Nowinski is buried in the family lot in Cedar Grove Cemetery with a stone that says "Maryanna, 1840-1923". The dates are consistent with what her obituary says. [re: attachment] Contrary to the Szymarek transcriptions, there is no stone for a Julianna Nowinski in the family lot in Cedar Grove, nor is that name on the 1988 microfilmed lot card. It doesn't seem likely there would be a stone for Nickodem's prior wife since she apparently died in Poland twenty-some years before the family emigrated in 1891, sometime between the birth of Nikodem [Jr} in 1866 and the marriage of Nikodem [Sr] to Maryanna in 1870/1871. The Cedar Grove Cemetery transcriptions by the Szymareks indicate the stone, "Grandmother, 1845-1923" in the Nowinski-Wesolowski lot is for Julianna Nowinski as if it were inscribed with that name. As you will have seen from the photos sent earlier it is not inscribed with a specific name, given or surname, so I wonder how they arrived at that conclusion. I have not found a Julialike name attached to Nowinski other than the subject of this section, wife of the younger Nikodem Nowinski, and she is not buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery family lot either. I have not been able to locate another Juliaƒ Nowinski in the census records, church records, obituary index, 1988 microfilmed lot cards, etc. Where did the name come from? Might the Szymareks have confused Julia Wesoloski as the wife of the older Nikodem because he and his son have the same name?

Does any Living Nowinski know the "VILLAGE OF ORIGIN" of this line in Poland
