Looking for Sokolowicz relatives

We are searching for information on our Great Grandfather, Joseph Sokolowicz. He and his brother Valentine came to the US - Milwaukee area - in the early 1870s. Unfortunately, we have no idea from where in Prussia they came from. The are of Roman Catholic religion. If anyone has any suggestions/ideas for us, please let us know.

Tried to find, but I couldn't. I guess you need to find a person from Poland (a priest or a clerk...). Good Luck!

Tamara - Please tell me where you tried to look? Thank you! Lorie

Well, I'm limited to online search only (did a search on some Polish search engines too)...

Thanks for trying! Merry Christmas!

My name is Justyna Sokolowicz. I came from Poland...

I live at Cieszyn in Poland. I want to find some persons from the Sokolowicz family.Please can somebody help me?

Justyna -
My Great Grandfather was Jozef Sokolowicz, and we believe his brother was Walenty. They both came to the US in the 1870s. Have you done any genealogy to know your anscestors? Do you know if you would have any connection to these two men?

Lorie, I guess you need to have this translated, too:

here are the bits that are not repeated from the previous message

My father lived in Lodz, his name was Henryk and his father's name was Feliks and his wife's [it's not clear whose wife she was] name was Henryka

Mariusz... Is that you?? Thanks for the translation!!

Eugeniusz - do you have any birthdates of your ancestors that you can share? Thank you.

Yep, it was me :-)

Eugeniusz...Pozdrawiam Cię Mariusz.Jeszcze raz piszę informacje o rodzinie.

So, Eugeniusz has sorted it out excellently:
Henryka was the wife of Feliks
and all of them came from Lodz.

Eugeniusz: Lorie bedzie pisac po angielsku. Czy mozesz odpisywac jej po angielsku (ale nie uzywaj programow do tlumaczenia, bo wychodzi zle).

Still looking for Justyna??? And other Sokolowicz's to converse with...

Hi, My name is Anthony (Tony) Sokolowicz and I currently live in Louisiana, but I am originally from Wisconsin. My father is James L Sokolowicz and my grandfather is Sylvester Sokolowicz and they are from Wisconsin. I have an aunt in Texas which is my father's older sister. She tried to trace the family tree but unfortunately came to a dead end. It is interesting to see that others are just as interested in the "Sokolowicz" name as we are since there are so few with the name. May be a possibilty that there are Sokolowicz in Warsaw. My aunt did state that there was a Sokolowicz family in Warsaw that owned a grocery store during the World War II era. How true this is I don't know. I noticed the previous responses from someone in Poland, how far would this be from Warsaw? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony! I am in the process of switching computers so I don't have my family tree handy. We did find out that Valentine had two wives ... and many children! Was Valentine your great or great-great grandfather? Please write me directly at socolovitch@comcast.net. We are so desperately trying to find any connection into Poland... we believe we found Valentine's ship records to the US, but cannot find Joseph's. I'd love to hear from you! We did find a cousin of yours, still in the Milwaukee area, who was able to find some info for us on Valentine - it was very interesting! I would love to share it with you. Lorie
