Rose C. GALUS, daughter of Frank GALUS and Clara LASSEK, was my 3rd
cousin once removed. Frank was a son of Bartholomew GALUS and Anna
SLAWINSKI, who immigrated to Platte County, Butler Township, Nebraska,
from Leki Gorne, Galicia, Austrian Poland.
See Bartholomew GALUS for more information about this line.
Rose married Louis G. MATYJA on 1 Aug 1932 in Columbus, Platte County,
Nebraska. Louis was born 2 Aug 1907 in Nebraska, a son of
John MATYJA and Katharine URZENDOWSKA.
According to their marriage record, John and Katharine's parents were:
Joseph MATYJA and Agnes MATYJA, and Louis URZENDOWSKI and Mary
WRINSTOCK. Noted on the marriage record was:
Catherine Urzendowska (alias Sandowska). One of the witnesses was named:
Joseph Urzendowski (Sandowski).
After adding Katharine / Catharine to one of my family trees at
Ancestry.com, I located and extracted several records about her
family. In the 1920 and 1930 U.S. censuses Katharine's mother Mary
URZENDOWSKI was widowed -- her address was 3220 K Street, Omaha,
Douglas County, Nebraska. My Grandparents Stanislaus and Martha
GALUS bought that house, along with two adjacent houses at 3218 and 3216
K, in the early 1940s when they moved from Columbus to Omaha. My
parents lived at 3218 K when I was born, and we later moved to 3220 K,
after my youngest sister was born.
According to an e-mail I received from another researcher some
time back, John MATYJA, Katharine's husband, was from Leki Gorne / Leki
Dolne, Austrian Poland -- the same village that my grandparents
Stanislaus and Martha were from. I have not located him in the
Parish microfilmed records as yet.
