Marge's Surnames

From time to time I receive e-mails from other researchers asking if I know more about an individual or family name.  Other times I run across someone who is from one of my ancestral villages and I gather more information about them.  Following is information I've collected that isn't included in my family pages.

CICHOWSKI / CHICHOWSKI

8 October 2007 -- e-mail from Bill
I am currently working on my family records in Poland and was wondering if you might have any records on the Chichowski family?  I have most of the American records but the Polish ones are very hard to find. Pitor Chichowski (b1840) is the last I have going back.

PIECZONKA

22 December 2007 -- e-mail from Alan and Chuck
I visited your website regarding births/deaths in  Leki Dolne.  My brother and I are tracing our roots, and we believe that our Grandfather, Stanislaw Pieczonka was born August 3, 1878 in Leki Dolne.  However, I do not find his name on the Leki Dolne or Leki Gorne birth lists.  In addition, he had a sister, Anna Pieczonka, who was born April 15, 1880, supposedly in the same area....

Marge's Note:  I have a website with a partial transcription of the church records for the Parish of Łęki G�rne / Leki Gorne.  This is the site that Alan and Chuck are referring to.

I grew up in the South Omaha Parish of St. Francis Assisi.  One of the priests who served the parish was Monsignor Stanley F. Pieczonka, who was born in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.  I found his family had ties to the Leki Gorne Parish.

STILLER - ZIEMBA

26 December 2011 -- e-mail from Christian
my Name is Christian and I found your family page at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sandlier/marge/ziemba.htm

In my family tree, there is a "Adolph Stiller" which immigrated to the U.S. in 1922. He had two daugthers, named "Emma Stiller" and "Mary Stiller" who seem to have married two brothers by the name of "Ziemba" in 1942. One was named "John Ziemba" and the other one "Louis D. Ziemba". From the marriage zertificates the brothers must be born between 1911 and 1913. The Married in Chicago, Cook, IL.

Do the names "John Ziemba" and "Lous D. Ziemba" or the name "Stiller" sound familiar to you? Do you have, by any chance some additional information for me?

Thanx and greetings from Vienna, Austria
