Jasnocha / Kozik & Saletnik / Wrobel family histories

♂

Edited by: rchogan42 May 9, 11, 05:43 #1

First: Please accept my apologies for not using Polish. I took a Polish class at the University of Minnesota this past fall and I found it extremely difficult. I audited it - I someday hope I can do the language justice.

I am attempting to do some geneology on my Dziadziu and Babcia's families. The names as they are spelled today are the Jasnocha and Saletnick respectively.

Dziadziu Alfred Ladislaw Jasnocha was born 20 May 1911 in Yonkers, New York to John Jasnocha (1865-1943) and Helena Kozik (1878-1943) They were married in Manhatten, NY - The marriage record indicated John was born in Brzozorvo Poland - Looking for the Lastname of 'Jasnocha' it indicated a concentration of names in the Tarnow region - Would there be any relatives or decendants of the family. I am not certain when he would have emigrated other than his marriage to Helena was 23 May 1896. Their first child was born in 1898. John's parents were Anthony Jasnocha and Mary Winiarska...

Genevieve Saletnik was born 14 Oct 1914 to Joseph Saletnik (1866-1941) and Katie Wrobel(1879-1941) in Ware, MA. I have seen; but do not have the immigration papers of Joseph indicating he was from Galacia province in Tonee

If there is anyone that can help me with the geneology or are distant relatives of these individuals - I would hope we could be in contact. Dziekuje.

I must add / if you are interested in viewing the family linkage I am registered under ancestry.com with the history of Hogan/Olson - Jasnocha Family Tree.

SALETNIK: variant of Sałatnik, root-word sałata (lettuce, greens); eater or producer of lettuce.
WINIARSKI: patronymic for the vintner’s son (syn winiarza) or topo nick from Winiary.
KOZIK: a small sharp butcher’s knife for skinning animals, also once used by barber-surgeons.
