Jacob LISS and Mary / Maryanna nee RYBA 

According to the John F. LISS biography in the St. Stanislaus (Duncan, Platte County, Nebraska) Centennial book, Jacob LISS and his wife Mary nee RYBA immigrated to the United States in 1875.  The centennial book of the Ss. Peter and Paul Church at Krakow, Nance County, Nebraska, says that daughter Anna LISS was born at sea on 25 Jul 1876.  I have not located them on a ship passenger list.  The 1885 Nebraska State census shows that Anna was 10 years old and born in Austria (part of Poland was under Austrian rule at the time).  Anna's brother Thomas was 7 years old and born in Nebraska.  However, the 1900 census gives Thomas' birthdate as Nov 1875.


Find A Grave (http://www.findagrave.com) shows that Jakob LISS died 12 November 1911 at age 76.  Maryanna LISS died 16 January 1914 at age 78.  Both are buried at St. Stanislaus Cemetery in Duncan, Platte County, Nebraska.

14 Nov 2014 - I received an e-mail from a researcher about finding more information about Jacob LISS and Mary RYBA.

According to the 1885 Nebraska State census, their first three children, Andrew, Victoria and Anna, were born in Austria.

The Mormon FamilySearch.org site has an ongoing effort to put digital records online and index their extensive microfilmed holdings.  Not all Polish parishes have been indexed, but many have.  Using the search criteria "Event: Birth, Place: poland, Father Name: jac* lis*, Mother Name: m* ry*",  I was rewarded with these 3 results:


Only the baptism records have been indexed.  Without ordering the microfilms for this Parish there is no way to know if Jacob and Marianna married in Przeczyca.  Unless the names of Jacob's and Mary's parents  and/or their actual birth dates can be determined from U.S. documents, it will be difficult to tell if they were baptized here also.  From my experience with other Polish parishes records after about 1835 or so started naming the grandparents of a child as well.  These records are late enough that they probably include that information on the record.

The 1900 U.S. census indicates Jacob was born Jul 1836.  Out of curiosity I searched the Przeczyca records for Jacob LIS born between 1830 and 1840.  There is an entry that may have possibilities.  A Jacobus LIS was baptized 13 Jul 1839.  His parents were Michael LIS and Marianna PUPIRNIK (sic) (maybe PAPIERNIK?); house 11.  The house number is the same as the three children born to Jacob and Mary.  It is a small link, but provides a clue for further research.  (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X59N-8XT)

Thomas LISS and Anna nee CZAPLA

In November 2011 I received an e-mail from Jayne:
I asked Jayne if she had Monica's parents' names or any other information that might help find her.  Jayne replied:

Having the names of Monica and two of her siblings, I searched the census records at Ancestry.com.  In the 1920 U.S. census for Platte County, Nebraska, I found a Tom and Anna LISS.  3 of the 8 children enumerated with them were named Helen, Minnie and Ladislaus.  After extracting the 1920 census, I looked for the family in other censuses.


In 1930 I found Thomas enumerated in Greeley County, Nebraska.  He noted that he was married, but his wife Anna was not enumerated with him and not all of his children were listed in the household, including Monica.  I found that Anna LISS was enumerated as an "inmate" at the State Hospital in Norfolk, Madison County, Nebraska.  15-year-old Monica was enumerated with a Johnson family as a servant.


As I searched for these census records, Ancestry provided links to other possible records for this LISS family.  Some of them lead me to believe there must be a Public Tree at Ancestry that had these records as references.  A search of the Pubic Trees for this LISS family brought up several researchers.  One of them answered Janyne's question about what happened to Monica aka Minnie LISS O'NEIL.

The CZAPLA / BRYGG tree, owner Kathleen3178, shows Monica LISS was born 25 Apr 1914 in Platte County, Nebraska.  She married William O'NEILL 27 Jul 1940 at Sacred Heart Catholic Cathedral, in Rochester, New York.  They had a daughter whose information is Private, so she is probably still living.  This daughter married Ross E. MILLER (born 12 Nov 1942; died 21 Mar 2009, Alfred Station, Allegany, New York).  Monica then married John "Jack" RYAN (1922-1991) on 6 Jul 1954 at Rochester, New York.  She died 24 Dec 2007 in Livonia, Livingston County, New York and is buried at Memorial Gardens in Brandon, Hillsborough County, Florida.
