Many thanks for anyones help. My grandfather left Poland in 1892-1893. I am not sure
where he departed from. Destination NY,NY. He was born Jan.21 ,1874. He had several
sisters and brothers. All did not leave Poland. I believe a Frank and Anastasia did come
with my grandfather or shortly after. His name in the USA was Paul P. Wilcensky. Our
relatives in another city spell it Wilczewsky. I have searched immigration records and can not find anything. I am positive of his birthdate and that he was 19 when he arrived in the
USA.
Thank you so much

Unfortunately, it could be difficult to find something more unless you find in immigration or census records you grandfather's place of birth. Have you tried with ancestry.com? They may misspelled it totally, so you probably should search with less strictly name pattern (mask).

In case it was Wilczeński, you have very few persons with such family name in Poland today:http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/wilczeński.html

However with Wilczewski you can find quite a lot: http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/wilczewski.html

But both names while are distant enough to be from quite another family - or these differences are production of an immigration officer. In this case information which form is closer to the original would be of great value.

Their names could be spelled in Poland as: Wilczeński, Wilczyński and Wilczewski

Try with census records also. Some of them are available on-line.

Was his first name Jan (John)?
