I'm responding to the below message as I am stopped in St. Joseph/Noble
Counties of Indiana.
My ggrandparents Valentine and Maryanna PIORUNOWSKA MUSZYNSKI gave birth to
a son in South Bend in 1865 according to his obituary. His name was Lorenz
MUSZYNSKI. Then in 1870, the MUSZYNSKIs were living in Noble County when
they applied for a land grant in Presque Isle County, MI. They moved there
in late summer of 1870. I think they came to the Indiana area in the early
1860s from Posnan, Poland. Other than Lorenz's obit and the land grant
application, I have no other information. I've not been able to find them
on any Indiana Records, censuses, etc. Several people have looked for me.
In fact, I've not be able to find them on the 1870 Census, period.
I know that a number of Polish people moved from the SW Michigan --
Northern Indiana area to Presque Isle at about this time.
I was hoping that perhaps you would be able to suggest avenues to find my
MUSZYNSKIs in Indiana at this time. For example, in what Townships should I
look and at which Catholic Church as they were Catholic.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks,
Dick.
