I am looking for my Great Grandmothers family.

Helen Bagadinski was her name.

Her passport says Helena Bagadzinska. She came over to America Feburary 1906 at the age of 20. Her sister Stella (Stanislawa Bagadzinska) came over in 1910 at the age of 21. There brother Walter came over in 1913 with his wife and 2 chidren.

They are from Wierznica, Poland Lipno County,

Does anyone know how to find my relatives?

Thank you

There are 64 Bagadzińskis in Poland, 23 of them in the Poznań area, the single largest cluster. Origin is uncertain. "Bag" root usually has to bo with a swamp as in Bagiński, but the "bagad" root doesn't seem to fit anything known in the language. There is a locality called Bagdad in the Piła area (north of Poznań) which might have generated Bagadziński. There is also a Bagdziński surname which is even closer to Bagdad (no inserted "a" bethween the "g" and "d").

Merged thread:

just had my great grandmothers passport translated.
can anyone tell me in what town or region this is near? I can't seem to find any of these on a map??

according to passport

Villager - Krestianno

Name - Helena Ctanislovovna Bagadzinska

Thanks

residence - vil Gronobicherkoe Oushinu

Check again; it doesn't sound like anything

Villager - Krestianno

Sounds like: religion - Christian

Name - Helena Ctanislovovna Bagadzinska

More likely: Helena Stanislawowna Bagadzińska

Stanislawowna means that her father's name was Stanisław

Bzibzioh is right - it doesn't look like anything. I thought the same about the religion bit. Did you have the passport read by one of those optical character readers? They often produce odd results.

Perhaps you could scan the original - many people here are OK with the Russian Alphabet.

Gronobicherkoe (from the last syllable) sounds like a village, though not necessarily in Poland. Oushinu could be anything.

That's in Russian but i'm sure you know that. We have some Russian speaking members here. Hopefully they can help.

Bagadinski and Bagadziński are most likely toponymic tags derived from several localities in Russia, Russian Yakutia and Turkmenistan known as Bagadia and Bagadża (Polish transliteration). The bagad- root presumably comes from one of the Asian tongues.

It would be good if somebody who speaks Russian could decipher the writing.

Hi mom in USA

My brother and I (Danny Berglind and Christine Kearney(Berglind)) just came across this post looking for my great aunt and uncles wedding date (Toura Berglind and Corinne Walter). It appears we must be relatives!
