Tracing my parents roots (Pawlusiak and Plonka)



NORALYNN   Sep 22, 06, 10:32 /  #
My mother's Mom was from Osiek, Austria, her maiden name was Mary Plonka(born 1889). She came to the US around 1909 and married John Pawlusiak (born 1881) from Bielany, Austria (he came to the US around 1905). They had 12 children, all born in the US. Problem is, my mother cannot recall the names of her grandparents (she's guessing her grandfparent's names were Albertus and Katherine Plonka from Osiek who had about five children).

She believes her father's parents were named Frank and Mary Pawlusiak of Bielany who had possibly 2-3 children. Any information that might help me further complete this branch of my family tree would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Nora

Nora,

Check other people's posts in the genealogy thread. I'm sure that you'll find some useful web-sites.

I'll post some new sites in a couple of days.

Where do you live? And are the families decendants from Austria or Poland? I'm really new to this conversing on computer and researching via computer. I'm hoping you may be able to help me. Thanks so much!

Nora, I am glad you posted, what city do you live in ? I live in Michigan, Wyandotte, and
I am trying to figure out our plonka connection.
one thing which is good news, seeing that you have aldabert, which is Wojiech in Polish
and I seen a Wojiech coming back and forth to the united states several times, he was
seen last in New York.
another good news is, that this Wojiech has a wife named Anna, I dont know if this is
short for Katarina, or Katarzyna, but, my Great Aunt who married my Uncle Joe, referred to
herself as Anna, and her full name was katarina. but she was called anna throughout the
cencus, immigration, the only time her name is Katarina, is on batismals for her children.
so with that in mind, I just need to know what city are your Plonkas, mine were also from
osiek, so there is a good chance we have same Aldabert (wojiech) I hope!!
Please feel free to email me on this subject at Nightwhisper19@aol.com

our family was in Delray, detroit, New York and Osiek.
Other names involved , bies, tobiczyk, wasztyl, Plonka, Rakoczy, and others I cant think
right now

Please send me a email Patty.

Yeah My friend used to know a guy called Mietek Plonka who native polish and was from Torun in poland. I think it must be a fairly common name if two or three of us know people called it. Northern poland area might be a good place to look for the origins, if we're looking at torun and gdansk?

My grandfather was Valentin Plonka, born around 1875 in Taczanow, a village south of Poznan in Poland. He was employed with the railway organization. I have no information on his ancestors. Any help would be appreciated.

Plonka b. 7-11-1888 Osiek, Poland m. 9-12-1911 in Detroit, Mi to Francisca Florek. They had 8 children and first settled in Delray area of Detroit. Other children of Allbertus Plonka: Stanley b. unknown; Wawryniez (Lawrence) b. 12-31-1887; and Joannes b. 11-18-1891.

Other Plonka families in Detroit: Andreas (Andrew) b. 6-21-1881 m. to Agatha Klenczar; Andrzy (Andrew George) b. 2-20-1885; Frank b. 6-2-1886; Carolus b. 1888 m. to Julianna Klisz; Andrej b. 8-13-1882 m. to Tecla Chwirut; Valenty b. after 1878; Francisek (Frank) b. 1878 Osiek m. to Carolina Jedrzejczyk; Stanislaus b. 1883 m. to Magdalina Blucka; Ignatius b. 1-9-1891 m. to Maria Miazga; frank b. 12-31-1885 m. to Antoinette Misztura; and several others.

Pawlusiak = Paulieson (patronymic nickname derived from hypocoristic form of Paweł -- Pawlu¶).
Płonka = wild fruit tree (usually self-seeded pear or apple growing in field or forest).
