Subject: Question for PGF Searching Room
Dear Tadeusz
As you know, I recently got in contact with an older cousin who gave
me some information about my Wasilewska relatives. She told me about
her father (who married the oldest Wasilewska sister), whose name was
Pete Ruse who was from Russia. I have a copy of his WWI Draft card,
but I am unable to read some of it, and I was wondering if you would
mind posting it to see if anyone can make out the handwriting.
On the left side I can’t read lines 5 and 6. I think the country/nationality
is Ruska? which I am assuming is Russia, but I can’t make any sense
out of the town.
On the right side I have no idea what line 3 says at all.
I hope you don’t mind me asking this favor. I know this isn’t really a
Poland related question, but so many people from the forum always have
such great suggestions and ideas, that I thought I would ask if you
could share it through the PGF Searching Room. If it’s not appropriate,
I’ll completely understand.
Thanks again,
--Helen

Dears,
An uncle of mine has a nickname that nobody knows what mean. It is not
portuguese neither spanish. All the family assume it must be a Polish
word, because his parents and grandparents (all born in Poland) called
him by that nickname. Since I cannot reproduce the phonetic symbols I
opted to submit you a .wav file so that you can listen to how it is
pronounced. It starts sounding like ´chew´ in English, followed by a
sound that is closer to your Polish ´n´ with a diacritcal (nasal
sound).Obviously, it is possible my spelling doesn´t correspond 100%
to the original spelling, so anything closer to that sound will be ok.
Let me know what you think it may be.
Thank you.

Subject: Haller's(?) Army photo > www.Narodowa.pl and PGF Help Room
Hello Tadeusz,
Tina Ellis gave me your email address, and she suggested I write to
you.
I have an old photograph of a group of 15 men, most in military
uniforms. They are standing on the steps of what appears to be either
a church or a court house. The photograph has a cardboard backing that
bears the label, Columbia Square Studio, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Embossed on the photo itself is the name, J. Szczuka, 1056 Cambridge
St., Cambridge, Massachusetts. I presume he was the photographer.
One of my relatives had labeled the bottom of the picture, "Frank
Mulak, John Mulak's half brother, with the Polish Army." (John Mulak
was my grandfather.) I found the name Franciszek Mulak in the index
for Haller's Army, so I think this may be a photo of a group of
Haller's Army veterans.
I have another picture of Frank Mulak, so I believe I know which one
he is in this group picture. Frank is the young-looking man who is
standing one step
below, and to our right of the man in black who is directly below the
statue
in the upper left of the picture. (If Frank fell backward, he would
fall
against the left shoulder of the upper-left man in black.)
Please, would you be willing to post this photo on your website?
Perhaps someone who sees it may have a copy of the same picture. I
would like to know for certain if these were Haller's Army members,
and I would like to identify all of the men in the photo.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
I found this attached document in some
of my family records and believe it concerns my great-grandmother Mary
Kulakowska. It would be very helpful if someone could tell me what
this document is and what it says.

Hello,
Can you help me with translating this document. It has on it
references to my wifes grandparents. I am trying to find where they
came from. So that I can find additional records, church records, etc.
There are reference's to Olindry, Studzinka, Russia, Poland
I have tried several map sites, one came back(shtelseeker) with 4
different Olendry around Warsaw in every direction. How can determine
which one of the 4 they came from. They came to America in 1907, 1910
and 1913. I have the ship records from the Ellisisland site as well. I
have attached pieces of scans that shows possible names of the places
they came from. Any help you can give me is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Farrell

maybe useful to others.
Hi Tad, I have a list of birth index from Chicago with some Polish
People names and years they were born. All these start with the
lettert z as I was researching my grandfather Joannes John Zaucha whom
i believe was born somewhere, in Poland. He is the one who was married
Wiktoria Bryg. I know now he was born in Poland but have no record
where. They may have even been married there. Cannot find when they
came to United States either. As there are no naturalization papers.

Tad, Here is the scan. All i want to know is the town she was born in.
I assume her father was Adalbertus Bryg and Mother was Sophia Niestic?
Not too sure about mothers last name. Thank you., Geri Baton.
