John Frank
STORZ / STORTZ and Anna RYBA
In July 2009 I received an e-mail from Andrea who wrote:
[My husband's] paternal grandfather was John Frank Stortz
from Galicia Poland. He came to America in 1902 and lived one year in
Chicago working at the steel mills. He then came to Columbus, NE
working for Union Pacific and lived there the rest of his life. He died
in 1959. John Frank's parents were Jacob (Jack) Stortz and Sophie
Thoman and he had a brother, Stanley who stayed in Poland. This is all
the information we have and there are no relatives alive in Columbus
that can help us out.
Andrea sent me a photograhph of John's tombstone that includes his full
date of birth and death date. Anna's information is at Find A
Grave http://www.findagrave.com.

Stanislaus
STORC / SZTORC and Theophila FIEDLER
In April 2010 I received an e-mail from Therese who wrote:
I am a descendent of ________ Storc whose father was
Stanislaus Storc and mother was Theophila (Wolniewicz) Fiedler. My
father was born in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother was born in Poznan,
Poland. His father was born in Galicia, Poland. I was told that his
surname was originally Sztorc. My father's father had a brother named
Stanley Storc / Sztorc who lived in Chicago.
Starting with the 1930 census, the latest census available to the
public, I easily located Therese's family in Omaha, Douglas
County, Nebraska. Enumerated with Stanley were his wife,
Theophila, and their children: John, Mary, Cecilia, Lucy, Joseph,
Francis, Dorothy and Stanley. Theophila's widowed mother, Rose
FIDLER, was also living with them.

I next found Stanley and Theophila in the 1920 census in Omaha, Douglas

Joseph. Theophilia's widowed mother was living with them.

According to the 1920 and 1930 censuses, Stanley immigrated in
1903. I have not found him in the 1910
census yet. I found
a 16-year-old Stanislaw SZTORC on a 1903 ship manifest, going to be
with a cousin in Omaha, Nebraska. The ship Koln arrived at the
Port of Baltimore on 8 May 1903. Stanislaw's last residence was
Skrzyszow, Poland. His cousin in Omaha was Grzegorz Kloch (I'm
not 100% sure about the last name - Kl...h), who was living at 2019 So.
21st Street. I currently do not have information to confirm that
the Stanislaw on this ship list is the one who later married Theophila
FIEDLER.
I found
Theophila enumerated with her parents in 1910 and 1900 in Omaha.
In each of these censuses Theophila and her parents indicated they
immigrated in 1898. Jacob, Rosalie and Teofila FIEDLER were
listed on the manifest of the S. S. Pennsylvania that arrived at the
Port of New York on 17 June 1898. Their last residence was
Murowanna. Jacob indicated they were going to be with their
son-in-law Adalbert SZCZEPANIAK See

Stanley Storc is my maternal grandmother, Victoria Storc's brother.
Victoria (Storc)Bryl passed away in 1932 when my mom was around 10
years old. My mother, Loretta (Bryl)Hrbek does remember Stanley and
Theophilia as a young girl.
My mom, Loretta is almost 90 years old and I have been trying to find
some information about her mom. I do know that she immigrated from
Skrzyszow, Austria (Tarnow,Galicy,Poland). I have the original ship
manifest stating that she traveled Nov. 24th, 1908 on the ship, Kaiser
Wilhelm II, from Bremen to New York. On the manifest it states her
closest relative and address as; father Jan Storc, from Skrzyszow,
Tarnow. It's very difficult to read, but when I zoom in as close as I
can I do believe that the name IS Jan Storc.
I have not been able to locate any birth/baptismal records showing
Victoria (Wiktorya) Storc listed with her brother Stanley?? Also, my
mom thought there was also another brother by the name of Larry, who
possible lived in Chicago?? Victoria Storc was born in 1891, and if my
information is correct, Stanley was born in 1886.
If you have any information that you would be able to share with me...I
would greatly appreciate it!!

Michael
SZTORC and Jadwiga KOWALCZYK
Michael's first marriage was to Marianna nee CUBA / CZUBA. They
married in the Parish of Pilzno, Poland, in the Village of Kozia Wola.
Marriage

Bride: Marianna, daughter of Joannes Czuba and Marianna nee
Micek, hortulanus, born and living in Zajaczkowice, house 2, Catholic,
age 28, single
Witnesses: Josephus Sztorc, hortulanus; Andreas Jurek, hortulanus
Michael was a son of Stanislaus SZTORC and Anna nee TATARCZANY.
Robyn Nykaza has researched this line. The family for Stanislaus
and Anna in her Rootsweb WorldConnect file is at
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=robynnykaza&id=I54
According to the 1910 U.S. census for Chicago, Cook County, Illinois,
Michael immigrated to the U.S. in 1892. Between the 1910 census
and the birth index for St. John Cantius Church in Chicago at the
PGSA.org website, I believe Michael SZTORC and Marianna CUBA / CZUBA
were the parents of Helena, Marianna, Adam Michael, Lucy and Stefania.
Helena SZTORC
Helena was born in the Village of Zajączkowice / Zajaczkowice and
baptized in the Parish of Pilzno, Poland.

Lucy SZTORC
The 1910 U.S. census for Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, shows that
Lucy was 8 years old at the time of the census. She was born in
Austria Poland. If her birthplace is correct that would mean
Michael and Marianna returned to Poland for a while and then came back
to Chicago.

I believe Marianna died 6 December 1905 in Chicago. At the time
that she and Michael married in Pilzno, Poland, Marianna was 20 years
old, giving her calculated year of birth as 1870. I found an
entry in the online Illinois Vital records database for a Marijan STORC

In the online Illinois Statewide Death Index, 1916–1950 was the
following entry:
http://www.ilsos.gov/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html
ROGUS, LUDWIG, sex/race M/W, age UNK,
certificate number 6006285, date
of death 1916-02-24, county COOK, city CHICAGO, date filed 16-02-24
In November 2008 I received an e-mail from Carol
Rogers, a great
grandniece of Hedwig
SZTORC ROGUS. Her great grandmother, Karolina / Carolina SZTORC /
STORC was a sister of Hedwig. In answer to a few of my questions to
her she wrote:
Karolina married Jan Rasinski in Toluca, IL, on
January 22, 1900. At that time, Ludwik and Jadwiga Storc Rogus also
lived in Toluca. Both men worked in the coal mines.
Neither family stayed in Toluca for long. No one knows why they left.
But by 1901, both families had moved to Chicago. For a few years they
lived in the neighborhood of St. John Cantius Church, but both families
eventually moved to the vicinity of St. Hedwig's.
Jan Rasinski is said to have been a "lone wolf" kind of guy who
reputedly cut off ties with other family from Poland. Nevertheless,
the little bit of information in American records about him has led me
and my sisters (my partners in crime) to conclude that he was born in
the village of Parkosz, quite near Kozia Wola. He died in 1931 in the
tb sanitarium in Chicago, and Karolina did not remarry.
Ludwig Rogus died of pulmonary tuberculosis in February 1916, so the
death record that you saw is his. Jadwiga (known as Harriet to the
older generations and as Ciotka Roguska to the younger) remarried, but
apparently quite a while after his death. She married widower Anton
Ratajczyk, some time after 1920. In the 1920 census she is living with
her daughter Helen, and Helen's husband, (first name escapes me now)
Ziemba.
Karolina Storc is my Mom's paternal grandmother. Her half sister, Anna
Storc (Jozef Storc and Agata Skopek), is my father's maternal
grandmother. Oddly enough, Dad's paternal grandfather was Anton
Ratajczyk! So at one time, 3 of my great grandfathers were married to
Storc sisters.
With the information I received from Carol I was able to find Hedwig in
the 1920 census. Enumerated with her were her daughter and
son-in-law, Stanley and Helen ZIEMBA.

I've found Stanley and Helen ZIEMBA in the 1930 census, but have not
located Hedwig as yet. According to Carol, Hedwig did marry an
Anton RATAJCZYK. I don't think that happened until after 1930,
because I found a widower Anton RATAJCZYK enumerated in the 1930 census
with three of his sons -- no wife listed.

1900. They later moved to Chicago.
So far I have found them in the 1930 census for Illinois.

On 29 Jun 2008 James and Marge SZTORC wrote the following in my online
Guestbook:
It was fun to read your research! We found
it interesting to know that there is another Marge Sztorc - although
only through marriage. We live in NY state, town of Pendleton. Jim's
parents are Edward and Maryanne Sztorc. Edward had two brothers - they
were known by the names of Phil and Archie (not sure of their given
names), and two sisters Felicia and Beatrice.
Until 2012 the 1930 U.S. cenus is the latest one available for public
viewing. I checked the 1930 census for New York state and found
an
Edward SZTORC enumerated with his parents Joseph and Aniela, and
siblings: Felixa, Felix, and Arthur.

Edward was age 6/12 in the 1920 census which was taken in January of
that year. His birth date would calculate to June or July of
1919. The online Social Security Death Index has the following

On 31 Dec 2011 researcher Tim ____ e-mailed the following to me:
[I am] Tracing my lineage I think that our trees overlap but am
not
positive. I was curious if you have discovered anything in your
research. I believe that the linkage is the following:
- (private)
- Stanley Storc b:1942/d:2010 (New York/ Atlanta)
- Thaddeus Storc b: 1911/d:1999 (New York)
- Joseph
Storc b:1883/d: ? - I know he was born in Austria based on
conversations and a WWI draft card. The draft card says that he
was
born in August of 1883. On your site I found a record where
there was
a Joseph Storc who was born in Austria in December of 1883. I
thought
that he might be the same person. I believe he is the son of
Stanislaus Sztorc and the grandson of Joannes Sztorc & Marianna
Tworek (your GGGM if I read correctly).
I was curious if you have discovered anything in your research on the
Joseph Storc/Sztorc.
I did not have any further information about Joseph in my family
file. I added Tim's Joseph STORC as an unlinked person to my
family tree at Ancestry.com. I added Thaddeus and Stanley, then
searched for clues about Tim's STORC family. There was another
public tree at Ancestry.com that had these indivuduals included.
I located the WW I draft registration that Tim referred to. I
easily found Joseph and his family in the 1920 U.S. census in Jamaica,
Queens County, New York. It took some creative searching at
Ancestry and also a few searches at the LDS site at FamilySearch.org to
find additional information about this family. Following is what
I pieced together about the Joseph SZTORC / STORC family.
Joseph noted on the 1920 census that he had immigrated in 1904. I
located a 1904 ship manifest with a Jozef SZTORC listed. Jozef
noted the village of Latoszyn as his last residence in Galicia, which
was the Austrian partition of Poland at this time.

I resorted to using just first names only in my search to try and find
this family in the 1910 census. They were listed as the STOZ
family. An item of interest was the address on Catherine
Street. On the 1904 ship manifest Jozef SZTORC was going to be
with a cousin who lived at 60 Catherine street.

Here is the 1918 World War I draft registration and the 1920
census. Both show Joseph living at 32 Sutphin Rd, in Jamaica, New
York. Son Emil, who was enumerated in the 1910 census is not
listed in the 1920 census. Son Ludwig in the 1910 census is Louis
in 1920.

I first found this family in the 1930 census by searching the LDS
(Mormon) site at Family Search http://www.familysearch.org. Their
last name came up as STORK. With the information from Family
Search, I found the image of the census at Ancestry. Also at
Family Search I found the image of Joseph's 1942 World War II draft
registration, which I could not find at Ancestry. The WW II card
gave Joseph's place of birth as Austria, Lottosazin, which I am
supposing is a misspelling of Latoszyn (the village noted on the 1904
ship manifest). Of note is the different date of birth between
the WW I and the WW II cards. The contact person named on the WW
II card was Joseph's son, Stephen J STORC, which leads me to believe
Joseph's wife Mary died before 1942.

Following is information about some of the children of Joseph and Mary
from various sources.
Steven STORC
Named as Stephen J STORC on his father's World War II draft
registration card. His address was 145-34 Arlington, Jamaica (New
York)
According to the censuses Steven was born about 1907. Ancestry
and Family Search both found a listing in the Social Security Death
Index for a Stephen J STORC. I don't know for sure if this is the
right person.
The information needs to be confirmed.
Birth date: 22 Oct 1907; Death date: 23 Feb
1993
Last Residence on record at time of death: New Hyde Park, Nassau, New
York, United States of America
SS Number: 097-05-1920; Issue State: New York; Issue Date: Before
1951.
Louis / Ludwig STORC
According to the censuses Louis was born about 1909 or 1910.
Ancestry found a listing in the Social Security Death Index
for him. Since his last residence on record was in Jamaica, New
York, I am making an assumption this is the same person.
The information needs to be confirmed.
Birth date: 7 Jan 1910; Death date: Jun 1966
Death place: Jamaica, Queens, New York, United States of America

I checked the Family History Library Catalog at FamilySearch.org to see
if the Church records for Latoszyn were on microfilm. Latoszyn is
part of the Debica / Dębica Parish. The good news is that the
records have been microfilmed - FHL INTL Film 1884966. The bad
news is that it looks like the birth records skip from Akta urodzeń
(Latoszyn) 1857-1873 to Akta urodzeń (Latoszyn) 1885-1904 -- the
records between 1874-1884 are not listed. Joseph SZTORC was born
16 Aug 1883 or 29 Sep 1884 depending on the source. I would still
order the microfilm to see if those records just weren't listed in the
detail.

My SZTORC family tracks back to the village of Zajaczkowice (near
Lipiny on the map below) in the Parish of Pilzno. Latoszyn is
about 6 miles from Pilzno. It is possible these two SZTORC
families may connect.
