Czernek/Czerniak married Stanley Klimek

My great-grandfather's sister Maria "Mary" Czernek/Czerniak married Stanley Klimek and was born in Łęki, Brzesko, Poland. Her mother was named Marianna. Her known children were Stefania, John and Joseph. Stefania and John were born in Poland, but Joseph was born in the U.S. They family resided in Chicago and California in the U.S. Do any of these names match with the family of your wife's grandmother? Thank you for your time.

I am research Stefanja Klimek (1886-1953) who married Michael Krol. Do you have any additional information on the Stefania you mention above?

Sincerely,
Karen

Any idea if this Stefania resided in Pennsylvania?

The age of your Stefania/Stefnja is too old. I believe that my great-grandfather's sister was born around 1886. My great-grandfather John Czernek/Czerniak was born in 1893. Also, my Klimek family lived in Illinois and California, not in Pennsylvania as far as I know. Do you have an immigration record, like from ellisisland.org? It might reveal your Stefania's native village if you don't know it.

The birth year of my Stefania's youngest brother Joseph was 1918, and she was born a few years before that, I believe.

My father was Joseph Stanley Klimek =- born 1918, died 1992. His mother was Mary Klimek and father Stanley Klimek. He moved to California when WWII started. the person who is writing some of these responses named Koach seems to be related to me. Can you please respond? Kris Weisbrod (Klimek)

probably easier if you PM by clicking on the envelope under his name or send an email directly to him via the link in his profile

Hi there,

My great-grandfather was John Czerniak, born 1893 in Leki, Poland. His older sister was Mary Klimek, your grandmother. Their mother was named Marianna Czernek. My great-grandfather and his family changed their named from Czernek to Czerniak some time after the birth of my grandmother. Her baptismal certificate lists her as Helen Anna Czernek. My great-grandfather John Czerniak married Veronica Blach, born 1889 in Dabie, Poland. John died 1954 in Hammond, IN. Veronica died 1967 in Hammond. I have more information once we can speak over the email or PM.
