Hi,
I have recently decided to try and research my father's family who come from Poland, now Ukraine. One of my ancestors, Ludwik Sumislawski, emigrated to New York in 1911. He was going to his cousin, Maria Moskal, who was living at 117 Broad Str. NY. As a long shot, I googled 117 Broad Str. and to my surprise I got your post in this forum. Since then I have found 117 Broad Str in the 1910 census. The people living there were a minister, five teachers, a watchman and three domestics, all working for the church. All the teachers were called Mary, but none of them were Moskal or Techow. I wonder if this was some sort of association that helped immigrants gain entry into the US?
Since reading your post, I have had a little browse and decided to join the group. This is my first post.
