I have been searching for a very long time, for any and all informantion on Dabrowski/Dombrowski's of Poland. My grandparents.

My grandparents came from Poland around 1900-1903, and passed well living in Gary, Indiana.

If you know of someone, or some place, that help, please send this along.

Thank You all for the help I know you all will be.

Please contact me direct at mrdinvestigations@att.net

In my visits to Poland, I only came across a few people with my name, going all over Poland, and checking phone books.

My Grandparents came from near Warsaw, my grandfather came from Broszka, and was born May 30, 1875, and grandmother came from Piotrowice, and was born July 10, 1887.

When on one of my trips to Poland, I did check all the church's around these areas, and was told by the Priest, they had no record, and either, the records were burnt in fires, or just missing.

I have been looking for several years, and tried on a few visits without any luck so far.

Hi,

I only have a bit of information on my grandparents, but if you can help.


Grandfather, Ferdynand Dabrowski/Dombrowski born May 30, 1875 in Broszka, Poland, passed away Dec. 14, 1954, Gary, Indiana

Grandmother, Maryanna Dabrowski/Dombrowski, could be M/N Grabowski, born July 10m 1887 in Piotrowice, Poland, passed away August 1, 1954, Gary, Indiana.

This is all I have, I have both death records, but does not show place of birth of parents information.

This could be great information, if I could read it. It is in Polish, and I can't read Polish.

What does it say? Is there a way to get this in English?

Thank you for your time on this.

The site lists various locations and number of Dabrowski in each location.

Looking for information on my Grandparents, Dabrowski/Donbrowski

I have been searching for any and all information on my Grandparents, Ferdynand and Maryanna Dabrowski/Donbrowski, who passed away well living in Gary, Indiana, in 1954.
They I am told, came from Poland after 1900, but don't have a correct date. They, again, I am told came from some small villages just south of Warsaw.
Are there any Dabrowski/Dombrowski out there who can help, or anyone with some new ideas to try. I have tried everything I could find.
Grandmother had family in the area of Detroit, Michigan, with you prior to marriage, name, Grabowski.
I am open to any new ideas. Please try and help me, since my Grandparents passed away when I was just young, and they spoke broken English, and I no Polish.
I have tried on two visit, to Poland, to check church records, and was told that they did not have anything.
I hope to see your help soon, since I am not getting any younger, and want to pass this infrormation on to my children and grandchildren, so day.

Dabrowski

It might help if you start looking for DˇBROWSKI instead of Dabrowski. D±b means oak in Polish.

Not sure if you know, but the ± letter gives a specific pronunciation. Roughly, it sounds a bit like 'ahn' to an English speaker. That's why you have the Dabrowski/Dombrowski spelling.

In a Polish search engine the ± could make all the difference.

Writing to the adress someone gave above is one idea. Another might be to contact the Mormons (really!) as they have a huge geneological library and have copies of church records from a number of places.

There are many Dabrowski/Dombrowski's around the world, and I would like to talk with, any and all, and would like to find out if you could be family. Write and tell me where you are from, and something on your family background. I have been working on this for several years, and need all the help I can get.
I will look for your reply.

I have, without any luck tried each new idea, and am still looking. Please, if you have a new idea, I want to try it. I will not give up, this information is on my bucket list. I know you all know what a bucket list is. It is a list of things I must get done before, I kick the bucket, and pass away.

I have tried that, with the Dabrowski/Dombrowski facebook site, and still no help, but I did meet some more, with the same name. I check if often.

and there are hundreds and he's not related to most of them.. but one would have to follow up on clues that one comes across, from time to time, to figure out who is whom.

As I do, never give up your search. Someday the door will open, for both of us, and we will know all. I have been searching for years, and won't give up, you should not either.
The Dabrowski's rule, as we both know, but don't know why, yet, but someday we will.

Anyone still checking this thread? I've been searching for Dombrowski roots in Poalnd as well but have very little info to go on. I've scoured shipping records, manifests, marriage documents, birth and death, baptism records, graveyards, history forums, property records, rootsweb, ancestry.com, ellis island, and the LDS only to hit a dead end.

I'm specifically looking for info on a Walter (aka Wladyslaw) Dombrowski, b. March 29 1893
Military records indicated he was from Rosher (sp) Poland (could be Rzeszow).
Walter was known to be illiterate upon arrival in the US so the spelling may be incorrect.
He married Sophie Keller on October 18, 1916 in Jersey City, NJ.
He worked for Seabaord Refrigeration in Jersey City.
He died while living at 321 Pavonia Ave, Jersey City, NJ in 1964.
He and Sophie had several children:
Anthony
Edward
Joseph
Walter Jr
Chester
Marlene

Any hits appreciated.
