GrandSeeker7796 — 2011-03-03 04:30:00Z

I just found this thread 11 years after the original making, but I believe my family ties into this one. My Great Great Grandmother Was born Julia Durek on 03/16/1882. Now the word I got is that she Immigrated from Austria when she was 2(the records seem to confirm that). She married Stanley Suchocki(Not sure when?) Grandma Julia passed away on 02/04/1970 in Saginaw, Michigan. My great grandma Anna Suchocki and all of her siblings were born in Carrollton. Does this seem to match? my email is masterscorpio77@gmail.com

Now my grandfather's side his mother is Kataryna Sujdak. She came to the U.S. in 1912 on the ship "President Lincoln", she was 19 yrs old. Ellis Island records show her ethnicity was Russia, Polish. Also, her father was Michal Sujdak, place of residence, Glowaczowa, Russia. Kataryna was married twice. First to my grandfather's father Frank Gorka, divorced him. Then remarried. They lived in Pullman (Chicago), Illinois. If anyone has any information Please contact me.

Wladyslaw GORKA son of Adam GORKA & Marianna CZARNECKI

2008-11-10 01:54:54Z

My grandfather Wladyslaw Gorka came from Galician area of Poland in the 1890's. His baptism certificate is difficult to read since it is in Latin with Polish names. According to the record his parents were:Adam Gorka(father) son of Jacob Gorka and Agnes Rapala and Marianna Czarnecki(mother) daughter of Slanislaw Czarnecki and Sophia Janicka.

When he came to the US he spelled his name Gurka. My uncle had his surname as Gorki on his baptism certificate. Later the family spelled the surname as Gorka.

Theresia GORKA/Gurka family & Walter KONDRATICK > PA

2008-11-10 01:52:39Z

Hi...I have been reading several of the posts. I am the great-granddaughter of Theresia Gorka(Gurka). She married Walter (Vasil) Kondratick and came to the US in 1888 and settled in Wilkes-Barre, PA. From the immigration records it appears that she was from or may have been from a villiage near Wieliczka, Poland. Also, one of my grandfather brother's ss card has his birth place list as Cegorky (my best guess at the spelling). Also, from what I have found in other records like my grandfather's ss card, I know that they were from Galicia. I was wondering if any had any additional information. Feel free to email me directly.

Hi....my great-grandmother was Theresa Gorka Kondratick and from what I know about her...is that she was from Galicia in Austria-Hungrey and came her in 1888. I don't know if we are in the same family line or not but it is worth a shot. Besides, the borders in europe change so much around that time. She settled in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I would like to talk to you and see if we are in the same family line...send me an email....I am looking forward to hearing from you.

My grandfather, Wladyslaw Gorka, settled in Newark, NJ. He married Mary Brozyna and they had three children Leon(1903-2003), Johanna Sophia(1907-1967) and a third daughter who died in childhood. Wladyslaw(Walter) had a brother(?) Henry who married Julia(?). They had at least one dauther Marilyn. These people attended my mothers funeral, but I don't know who they are. Wladyslaw was educated and played the violin in the Newark Symphony. He was afraid they(?) would find him and kill him. He did not want his name on the gravestone. Any ideas?

Re: Sujdak from Glowaczowa

2002-12-02 01:28:07Z

Hi Dawn
The surname SUJDAK sounds suspiciously Galician (SE Poland under Austria) and there's a GLOWACZOWA in Straszecin Parish, Debica County, that was formerly in Galicia. Check out this website: http://www.geocities.com/straszecin/straszecin.html .
Good luck with your search.

I'm finding it hard to trace further back into Poland.I hope to visit someday.My family settled in Waterbury Conn. I live on Cape Cod.
