I am trying to locate my great, great grand mother. She didn't like to talk about her past, so I have limited information. I think Pollock is her married name. I don't know if she was married when she came over. She gave birth to Stella in 1889. Stella married Walter Drzewieski. Stella had relatives in Chicago whom she would visit, so perhaps Maria was in Chicago first.

Thanks in advance for any help. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

You can start by getting the names right. First of all, the name in the Old Country was probably Polak and got respelt or misspelt in the New World. And Stella was most likely Stanisława. Also Drzewieski does not exist but Drzewiecki is used by some 10,000 people in Poland. And again the first name was probably Władysław, although I have also seen Walter used for Włodzimierz and Wacław. For assisatnce contact:

Good luck!
