Some notes and to-do tasks for myself, provided as-is—they may or may not make sense, or be useful, to other people.

To Do

Who in Poland did Mimi used to write to?

Update family tree with this info (from emails between me and my father in early 2014):

  • The Joe Nawrocki who married Bertha was nicknamed Doc.
  • Joseph and Babka had six children (I think verbally Helen told me five)
    • Casimir married Cecelia
    • Joseph (doc Nawrocki) married Bertha; their son is Joe Nawrocki (Mimi's generation)
    • Helen married Frank Januhoski; lived in Chicago
    • Anna married Frank Jankowski
    • Frank married Elizabeth apparently lost baby Frances at a young age but have one daughter Mary Frances Louise, married Charles Kania; lived in the country

Adele Nawrocki (Mimi) Page

Mystery of the Misdated Invitation

In Mystery of the Misdated Invitation on the "Adele Nawrocki" page, I speculate that the date '1908' on the Casimire and Cecilia wedding invitation is a typo. How hard would this be to research? After all, I was able to find the marriage certificate for Casimire's Second Marriage with almost no effort at all.

  • Well, now I've done a little searching (on FamilySearch.org) and have come up with nothing. I think one of the problems is that Cecilia was never married for a census—so there's no census record linking her to Adele or Julie.

Other Notes

How close were the Casemire household and that of his parents? Was it easy for Julie to move from one home to the next?

Like Louise Nawrocki, Sophia Wroblenski (aka Kurlandski) also gave a daughter her own name. I think we can infer this was more common in Eastern Europe, or at least Poland, the than it is here today.

Why are there no photos of Mimi?

Search for more information on Cecilia Jurkiewicz and family.

Was Gram Nawrocki's maiden name Mary Levindosky or Mary Lewandowski?

Louise and Joseph Nawrocki

From https://www.ancestry.com/boards/localities.ceeurope.poland.provinces1975-1998.bydgoszcz/86.2:

I found a Joseph Nawrocki (b: 1854 in Germany) married to Ludwika (Louise) Maslanka (b: 1852 in Bydgoszcz,KUJAWSKO-Pomorskie,Poland) who lived in St. Louis, MO.

  • Joe Nawrocki confirms that these are his grandparents.
