Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Looking for names of Ships for Kulhanek Family
« on: Tuesday 12 August 25 03:14 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Looking for the name of the ship for Roland Kulhanek (1936-2016). it appears he traveled from Genoa, Italy to Venezuela in 1951 sometime, originating from Ludwigsburg, Germany, the zone of origin being Villach. They were displaced persons.
   Also looking for the ship's name for for Elsa Barmus (1938-2019) who arrived in Baltimore in March 13, 1956 from what appears to be Maracaibo, Venezuela. Here is a link to the manifest at FS, I just can't figure out the name of the ship:

Thanks, Brian

Europe / Re: Poland & Czechia: Wawrzyniec Schneider and Uliana Mrosek

The Straußeney Parish or town (Pstrążna) you (fiddlerslass) recommend is in the Czech Corner in the Glatz kreis, correct? The correct kreis or parish is likely Pstrążna, Rybnik, Śląskie (formally Pstrzonsna, Rybnik, Schlesien, Preußen) as TreeSpirit recommends. So there was some confusion because the spelling of the parish names are virtually identical, although they lie in different counties (or kreis). I am betting mine is in Rybnik.

Nothing came when I tried searching Straussey in the FS catalog. In genealodzy.pl, the parish is listed as Pstrążna-Pstrzonsna but the town is Łuków Śląski. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Can anyone tell me if Norm or his mom Mary Jane (Wilkins) Langley sailed back to Canada before the 1911 Canada census? Thanks.

Europe / Poland & Czechia: Wawrzyniec Schneider and Uliana Mrosek
« on: Thursday 31 July 25 17:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm looking for information about Wawrzyniec Schneider and Uliana Mrosek, my sixth-generation great-grandparents. Mrosek appears to be a surname of Czech origin. Their children were Johanna, Josef, Marianna, Jan, Antoni, Jan, and Simon Schneider. It appears they raised their children in Łuków, Rybnik County, Silesia. Their eldest child was likely born in 1780. Information about siblings, birth dates, and parents would be appreciated. I am wondering if there is a connection here to Austrian 'Crownlands' in Czechia?
Best regards,
Brian

Thank you for the wonderful details. Any military info? Also, can you find any dates/places on Martha's parents?  This is great.

Looking for emigration/immigration info on John Benjamin Langley (1878-1968), who was born in London, emigrated to Toronto from the UK, and then emigrated to the USA in 1923. Also could use the full name on his 2nd wife Martha, who was born in Nashville, TN, in about 1892, per their petition for naturalization. Also, perhaps there are possible UK/Canadien military/draft records. I already have the 1942 one in the USA. He was a Lather.
    Thanks,
       Brian

Margaret Jean Ochiltree Swartz, d. 1928,  was the Grandmother of Margaret Jane (Swartz) Langley, d. 1997. So, yes, it is her Grandmother. Thank you for looking.

Hello,
Looking for a birth record (civil or religious) for Margaret Jane Swartz, b. June 10, 1914 near the Natural Bridge, Virginia, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It hasn't shown up in the normal collections because Virginia may have started collecting data later, so it may show in a revised collection at ancestry or something. Also, she may have been Presbyterian (like her Grandma Margaret Ochiltree Swartz) or something similar. Many of her siblings show up in revised civil records at ancestry, so maybe it is a spelling issue. Need help!
