I'm serarching for Kalinski Family. My grandfather Cheslaw Kalinski came to America without his parents when he was 14 yrs old. He later changed his name to Chester Englehart . He went back to Poland in the 1960's to visit his family.
Family line: Demitri Kalinski wife Joanne Bielska their children Mikolia b. 1852 Torin, Vallari, daughter Kalinski, Paul and Wladislaw(Walter).
Son: Mikolia Kalinski wife Helen Bejer their children,
Cheslaw b. 1892, Marceli, Kamierz,Leon, Stella, Marion or Maria husband Chostowska son Boguston. Chester had a brother in law named Frank Redkowiak. If you can help me with any information I would be so grateful.

Thank you,

Hi,Dear Vivian !
Thanks for your replay on my pm box here.
I am really very glad and happy,I was able to help you !
It happened by chance as I am also searching Kalińskis family,but Kalińskis connected with Donajskis are not my family.
Oh,no ! I am not the owner of this site,just a member.
Good luck in searching Czołgosz family ! I see,you got very usefull information from our fantastic ,as always,Tad.
I hope,you are in contact with Donajski and Kaliński family now.
All the best for you.
Ela

P.S. It is better to write on general forum as all members can see it and may be ,somebody can help.

No kochana jesteś Elu za te miłe słowa!
Here is also for Vivian some supplement:
Dear Vivian,
I must tell you openly that surname CZOLGOSZ in noted not only in 2009 Poland (only few people as CZOL~GOSZ, from few parts of Poland), but also one CZOLGOSZ is in Ellis Island records:
http://www.ellisisland.org/search/passR ... 0902040196
Try to check if this Josef Czolgosz, arrv to the US in 1912 as 34 y old married and born in 1878 going from Russia - Poland from the place name "Radzicjow" - supposingly means Polish - Radziejow ! - may be your? If yes, you can have the main info in all genealogical search, the family name confirmation, and the name of the parish, giving you chance to check genealogical LDS microfilms in the US.
Good luck,
Dziadek Tadek
