My father's name is Gramiak and he was born in Philadephia in 1924. His father was a
Piotor Gramiak, but not the one you are looking for, I think.
You are way ahead of me in sorting out the family history, but from what I can tell (Ellis
Island site) my grandfather arrived in the US in 1912 at the age of 19. The immigration
records I've seen say that he was directly destined for Philadelphia (no St. Louis
connection that we know of). His name is misspelled in the ship's log (or we changed
it somewhere along the way): he's shown as Grammiak with 2 m's.
By the way, I am the sister of Peter Gramiak that you found in your web search.
