Pam,
Thanks a lot for all of the information you sent. I really appreciate it.
Where would be the best place to look for more information? Also, do you
know if Roch's death certificate would tell where in Poland he was from or
would it just say Poland? Same for his wives? I also have no idea if his
parents or any siblings came with him. I do know that after his first wife
died he sent to Poland for another wife and two sisters came (perhaps family
friends)to the US.
Thanks again. I have some info to work with now.
Charmaine
