Clara Paczesny married Alexander Wisniewski. Alex came to the states with his mother, father, and siblings. His mother died before they reached their destination which was suppose to be Fort Wayne. His father was to meet his friend, Anthony Stasiak. The only way, people will be able to document his mother's name and birth is to obtain a copy of the ship record. Her name was Valentina and she was born in 1877. The ship was the SS Breslau. The ship left Bremen on April 26, 1906 and arrived in Baltimore on May 11, 1906. Alex's father, Anthony re-married Mary Wlodarek in 1908. Wlodarek was the name of her first husband. Anthony and Mary lived at 617 S. Pulaski Street, in South Bend all of their lives and this is where Alex grew up. Alex's siblings were : Kazimiera, Stephen, and Rosalie. Rosalie was born in Poland and her name is on the ship record. The first census she appears in shows she was born in Poland. The following census have her being born in Indiana. It is also interesting that Stephen and Alex became US citizens with his father, but Rosalie did not. She would have been granted citizenship. Kazimiera did not receive her citizenship because she was too old at the time. That occurred in 1916. Mary brought three children to this union. They were Konstancya, Veronica, and Ludwiig. I was not able to find Alex in the 1930 census. At the time, he was not living with his father. He did enlist in the US army on 9/10/1942 and served in World War II. When he returned to South Bend, he was living at 1031 W. Dunham. Clara and Alex had one child, Clara Helen. She married a man by the name of Mossell. I have no other information on her.
