Message Board Post:
My great-grandmother was Mary (Mayra) Zajac, b 1891. Her mother died when she was a girl
and her father remarried in Poland. She had a brother and a sister.
Her father and step-mother immigrated from Nowy Targ, Poland to Westmoreland county, PA
around 1900. They later sent money for her brother to immigrate to the US, but he had
passed away from illness, so my ggrandmother and her sister immigrated instead; it was 1/2
fare for girls.
Mayra became a servant for another family to keep house for them; her sister most likely
accompanied her,. It is very likely her Zajac father had other children with his second
wife. Any chance these are the same Zajacs? I am hoping to find additional information.
