I have been researching my family ancestry since the "Kownacki Reunion" of 1991. I have gotten back on my mother's side as far as
1) Francis Xavier Kownacki marrying Maria Piellanski (or -ska
if using the Polish feminine) in Poland ca. 1855, with
sons George Walter (b 9/26/1857) and Joseph Aloysius, and
2) Catherine A. Young marrying Henry DeBossert in the US,
also ca. 1855, with daughters Katherine M. (b 3/17/1857) and
Elizabeth, and
3) Michael Peter Ostapowicz marrying Matilda Drehling (likely
in Poland) with son Leo Augustus Ostapowicz (b 8/3/1878).

FYI, the two Kownacki brothers George and Joseph married the two DeBossert sisters, Katherine and Elizabeth respectively, creating a huge extended family. My maternal grandmother, Florence Cecelia Kownacki, was one of GWK's daughters, marrying LAO (#3 above) then Charles Frederick Hoffman (b 1/16/1885) after LAO died.

On my father's side, my grandfather Francis Sliwinski (b 1878) emigrated from Poland, marrying Mary Anne Lukaszewska (b 1884). I have further information that she was the daughter of Mary Anne Duzynski who had remarried Lukaszewski after her first husband (Leszczynski) died.

I would greatly appreciate any information about any of the ancestors mentioned above and will gladly share my information with others.
