My GG Grandfather, Johannas Peter BRAUN came to the United States around 1848 from Simmerath, Germany (Prussia). Johannas and his wife, Anna Marie SCHROEDER first settled in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. They later moved to Dane County, Wisconsin. In October 1871 Johannas and his family came to the St. Mary's community southeast of Humphrey, Platte County, Nebraska where they spent the rest of their lives. They are both buried in the St. Mary of the Angels Cemetery.

KOTLARZ, noun:  brazier, coppersmith, tinker

I connect to the KOTLARZ name through my GALUS family.  My grandfather Stanislaus GALUS immigrated from Łęki Górne, Galicia, Poland, with his brother Joseph in August 1898, arriving in Platte County, Nebraska, around September 1898.  Stanislaus' grandfather Jan GALUS was a son of Adalbertus / Wojciech GALUS and Marianna nee KOTLARZ.

My Direct KOTLARZ Line

In March 2006 I received an e-mail from Paweł Bandur who had found my webpage through an internet search.  Paweł, who lives in northwest Poland, wrote to say that his grandfather Józef  BAŃDUR was born in Łęki Dolne on 03 March 1895.  Paweł had ordered the LDS microfilms for the Parish of Łęki Górne that I had referenced on my webpages, and he wrote to ask for tips on how to use these films.  Currently, the only LDS Family History Center (FHC) in Poland is in Warsaw, which is a several hour train ride from Paweł's residence.  I have the microfilms for this parish on extended loan at my local FHC.  I offered to help Paweł find more about his family in Łęki, until he could make the trip to Warsaw to view the films himself.  I found the birth/baptism record of Paweł's grandfather on the date given by Paweł.  As I continued tracking Józef's ancestoral lines, one of his female lines connected with my KOTLARZ family!  Paweł and I are 5th cousins; we share 4th great grandparents.

Unrelated KUDRON Families

Joseph and Victoria KUDRON SOKOL
My Grandparents Stanislaus and Martha KUDRON GALUS were from the neighboring villages of Łęki Górne and Łęki Dolne in the former Tarnov Province of Poland. In the process of going through the LDS microfilms for Łęki parish I've found information on the Nance/Platte County Nebraska family of Joseph and Victoria KUDRON SOKOL. So far I've found no connection between Victoria's and my KUDRON families. Joseph SOKOL's half sister Anna SOKOL was the mother of Louis SOKOL, who married my Great Grandaunt Anna KUDRON (see above).

PAPROĆ, noun: fern

My Grandfather Stanislaus GALUS' parents were Andrew and Agnes SZTORC GALUS, neither of whom emmigrated from Poland. Andrew's parents (Stanislaus' grandparents) were Joannes (John) and Maryanna PAPROCKI GALUS.

Stanislaus and his brother Joseph first came to live with their Aunt and Uncle Andrew and Maryanna GALUS PAPROCKI near Tarnov, Platte County, Nebraska. Maryanna was a sister of Stanislaus' father, Andrew.

So far I have not found a connection between Stanislaus' Grandmother, Maryanna PAPROCKI, and Andrew PAPROCKI who married Stanislaus' Aunt Maryanna GALUS. (Gets confusing, doesn't it?) Here is a chart showing the current relationships relationship charts.

My Direct PAPROCKI Line

In June 2003 I received an e-mail from Roman Witek, who lives in Poland. Roman found my webpage through a Google search, and he wrote to say that we had the SZTORC surname in common - both from the Łęki Parish. I was unable to connect our two SZTORC families, but in the process of tracing his lineage, I found that Roman and I are fourth cousins through our PAPROCKI families. Serendipty! Roman and I share the same 3rd, 4th and 5th Great Grandparents. Roman's 2nd Great Grandfather, Martin PAPROCKI, was a brother of my 2nd Great Grandmother, Maria Anna PAPROCKI.

My Great Great Grandmother was Maria PFEIFER, born 7 December 1821 in Kurzschwarza, Austria. She was a daughter of Michael PFEIFER and Eva nee KASSLER. Maria married Ignatz ZACH on 24 November 1846 in Kurzschwarza. Maria and Ignatz arrived at the port of New York on 27 June 1874 on the ship America with five of their six children: Franz, Johann (John), Juliana, Walburga and Vincenz. Their oldest son, Ignatz ZACH (my great grandfather), came to the United States two years earlier on the S.S. Hanover.  He arrived at the Port of New York on 28 May 1872.  He first went to Wisconsin for a short time and then to the St. Mary's community in Platte County, Nebraska, where his parents and siblings later joined him.

It is through my PFEIFER line that I am related to the WIESERs and HOFFMANNs. Maria PFEIFER's father, Michael, had a sister Johanna. Johanna married Mathias WIESER.

My Great Grandmother Agnes Anna Magdalena SCHNECK immigrated from Louisenthal, Prussia, (now Borzysławiec, Poland) to Norfolk, Madison County, Nebraska in the United States about 15 June 1893 with her husband Ferdinand THOMAS, her two sons Herman Charles August, and Adolph George. Her widowed mother, Maria Magdalena THOMAS SCHNECK, accompanied them. Agnes was born on 8 Nov 1872. Her birthplace was probably in Louisenthal, but I have not yet found a source for birth / baptism information for this time period.

SZTORC, noun: upright

My Great Grandmother Agnieszka SZTORC was born 26 December 1858 in Łęki Górne, Poland, house #162, currently in woj. Podkarpackie. At the time of her birth Łęki Górne was part of an area called Galicia, which was under Austrian rule until after WW I. Agnieszka was a daughter of Jan (John) SZTORC and his second wife Marianna nee TWOREK. Agnieszka married Andrzej (Andrew) GALUS on 16 February 1876 in the Parish of Łęki Górne, Poland. Neither of my Great Grandparents immigrated to the United States. Their son, Stanislaus GALUS, my grandfather, immigrated with his brother Joseph, to Platte County, Nebraska in September 1898. In February 2005 I found two SZTORC first cousins of my grandfather, who immigrated to Chicago.

On June 5, 2003, I received an email from Roman Witek, who lives in Poland. He had entered the name of the Polish village "Łęki Górne" into Google's image search. One of the results was the photograph of the Church in Łęki Górne that I have on one of my pages. From there he began browsing other pages and noticed that we have the SZTORC family surname in common. Roman's grandfather Jozef SZTORC had two brothers who immigrated to the United States. Photographs of these brothers and their families had the name of a Chicago photographer stamped on the back. Roman wondered how one would go about confirming if these brothers, Frank and John, had actually settled in Chicago. He also wondered if by chance we might be related through our SZTORC families. Within a month of my initial search, I found that Roman and I are fourth cousins through our PAPROCKI families. I have not been able to connect our SZTORC families as yet. In February 2005, Joseph ZMUDA, a grandson of Frank SZTORC, one of the immigrant brothers, found our SZTORC page and contacted me.

Roman and I have continued our correspondence. Over the course of several months, Roman sent me a number of beautiful photographs of the Podlesie / Łęki Górne area. He has graciously given me permission to include these glimpses of Poland here on my webpage. Following is a link to the first photograph in the gallery. If you have already viewed the initial set of photos check out the thumbnails page, which will allow you to start anywhere in the gallery.

I am descended from two separate THOMAS lines, both from the same church parish of Sankt Johannes parish Stettin, Germany, now Szczecin, Poland. This parish includes the Prussian villages of Augustwalde (now Wielgowo, Poland), Blumenthal (Germany), Hoppenwalde (Germany), Louisenthal (now Borzysławiec, Poland) and Viereck (Germany).

My grandfather, Adolph George THOMAS, came to the United States at the age of two with his parents, Ferdinand and Agnes nee SCHNECK, and an older brother Herman. Adolph was born in Louisenthal, Prussia, which is now Borzysławiec, close to the present day Szczecin, Poland. They arrived in New York around 15 June 1893, and settled in Norfolk, Madison County, Nebraska. They then came to the St. Mary's community, near Humphrey, Platte County, Nebraska.  Ferdinand and Agnes had 14 more children after they immigrated to Nebraska.

My First Direct THOMAS Line (updated 8 September 2006)

My second THOMAS line begins with my grandfather Adolph's maternal grandmother.  Maria Magdalena nee THOMAS married Carl Friedrich Wilhelm SCHNECK, probably in Louisenthal, but I have yet to find their marriage record.  They were the parents of Agnes Anna Magdalena SCHNECK.  Carl SCHNECK died in Louisenthal, Prussia on 29 December 1884.  Maria Magdalena THOMAS SCHNECK accompanied her daughter Agnes and son-in-law Ferdinand THOMAS, when they immigrated to the United States.  They arrived in New York around 15 June 1893 aboard the ship Meier, and settled in Norfolk, Madison County, Nebraska.  Anna Maria Magdalena SCHNECK, an older daughter of Maria Magdalena and Carl SCHNECK, had already settled in Norfolk, Nebraska, with her husband Franz Friedrich Wilhelm DOLLERSCHELL.  They arrived at the Port of Baltimore, Maryland on 18 April 1890.
