I am searching for my family roots and I know , that my Mother's grandfather's brother, Stanislaw Domino was leaving in Chicago area in 1948 or even earlier. He had a son, John (Jan) Domino. The Domino family immigrated to Chicago area from Poland, Rzeszow or Laka. Stanislaw Domino had a brother, Tomasz Domino who had a son Stefan Domino (my grandfather) and daughter Stefania.

I have a few pictures of my Domino family from 1948 under this link: bobkozakphotography.com/Other/Domino-Family-Chicago-1948/24824381 _Hts9dk

DOMINO, DOMIN and similar are derived from the first name Dominik (English Dominic), originally from Latin Dominicus (lordly). SE Poland's Rzeszów region is the main Domino stronghold.

Unfortunately, I don't know if John Domino moved to Cleveland. I don't have much more information about, but these places in Poland would be connected with his Father: Rzeszow, Laka, Borysow, Pulawy. I know also that John was working for a City of Chicago. Also surname Michalak is part of the family. Here are some pictures of the Domino Family from Chicago: bobkozakphotography.com/Other/Domino-Family-Chicago-1948/

I've been on the search for the last name Domino from Poland. I'm so glad that I found this post site.....My grandfather was Walter Frank Domino. His father was Walter John Domino. His Polish first name was probably Wladyslaw, not Walter. Walter John Domino immigrated from Poland and married Katarzyna Kochanowska and moved to Butler, Pennsylvania. Some Domino's moved to Michigan, and some moved to California. Walter John Domino's father was Jan Tomasz Domino (from Wojslaw, Mielec, Rzeszow, Podkarpackie, Poland). Jan Thomasz Domino's father was Vincin/Vincentu Domino (from Niwiska, Kolbuszowa, Rzeszow, Podkarpackie, Poland). Vincin/Vincentu Domino's father was Andreas Domino (from Niwiska, Kolbuszowa, Rzeszow, Podkarpackie, Poland). Andreas Domino's father was Adalbertus Adelberti Domino (from Niwiska, Kolbuszowa, Rzeszow, Podkarpackie, Poland). Adalbertus Adelberti Domino's father was Anastasius Domino. I did discover that both my grandfather and great grandfather went by their middle names (Walter Frank went by Frank, and Walter John went by John). I wonder of our John Domino's are the same person. Mine was B:30 May 1887 Galicia, Poland

D:5 Apr 1961 Cambria County, Pennsylvania, USA. I have pictures of Walter Frank, but none of Walter John.
