Markusiewicz & Koczons from Kolbuszowa
: pt 23 gru 2011, 22:11
Hello!
I am looking for information on the family history of my 2nd great grandparents - Tomasz Koczon (1877-1948) and Marya Markusiewicz (1879-1970).
They both immigrated to Brooklyn, New York, United States. From their records, it looks like they were both from Kolbuszowa.
Because of inconsistencies in spelling, among other factors, I've had a difficult time finding much about the family, but this is what I've found so far.
Myra (also referred to as Mary or Mary Ann) had at least 4 siblings, all of whom also immigrated to the US:
- Franciszek Markusiewicz - married Michalina & had 3 children: Antoni (1914-1976), Wactaw (born 1916), and Zofja (born 1921)
- Ludvika Markusiewicz (born 1892)
- Stanislaw Markusiewicz (also referred to as Stanley, born 1893) - married Alfreda (1887-2004) and had at least two children:
Henry "Max" Markusiewicz (1915-1010) and Annie Markusiewicz (1918-2010)
- Henryk Markusiewicz (1895-1970)
She also possible had a sibling names Anna Markusiewicz.
Marya immigrated March, 1906 from Rotterdam and lived in Brooklyn until her death. Her and Tomasz (Thomas) had the following children:
- Zofia (Sophie) A. Koczon (1904-1988)
- Emilia (Mildred, Millie) Koczon (1908-1989)
- Eugenia (Jeanie) Koczon (1911-1953, my great grandmother)
- Casmir (Kazmer) Koczon (1914-1974
Eugenia married Donald E. Davidson (1910-1948) in October 1934 and had two children. She died in 1953, only a few years after her husband. My grandfather and his sister then lived with Tomasz & Marya Koczon, but cannot remember any names or information because everyone in the house always spoke Polish and because they were very young at the time.
I have found nothing about the parents or family of Tomasz, except that he had a cousin by the name of Aleksander Koczon, b. 1894, who married someone by the name of Bronislawa and also immigrated to the United States.
Any information about the family or the area would greatly appreciated.[/list][/list]
