The 1920 Census.

Hi Shelley,

Thanks for your prompt replies. I thought I had found the correct Helen Kruk having found her middle name started with B.
Obviously not. Still I was working on the principle that she was unmarried and therefore an unlikely source for further ancestors.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi John,

I'll take a look at all the info from the SSDI and see if I can connect it up to our William and Alexander Kruk.

I shall have to try looking for any obituries as this might throw some light on possible offspring.

The 1938 Newark Directory shows Stella Kruk, Widow, Joseph Kruk who was her late husband's brother, William S. Kruk, and Helen B. Kruk. I assumed Helen was Stella's daughter but from what Shelley has posted, she could be Joseph's wife, (except the Portsmouth Directory says widow of Alexander - very confusing). I assume that Alexander had left home by then, possibly got married while William was still at home unmarried.
There is also a Thomas Kruk (wife Sophie) at this address - no idea who these people could be.

Richard.

I have found the correct record in SSDI for Walter Winiarski.

The SSDI gives the following information.

Walter Winiarski b. 19 sep 1903. Died Oct 1981. Last residence Kellogg, Shoshone, Idaho.
SSN 526-05-7377 issued Arizona.

Checking cemetary records for Shoshone County I found the following record:

http://www.interment.net/data/us/id/shoshone/greenwood/greenwood_uz.htm

which lists the burials of Walter Winiarski in 1881 and his wife Alice D. in 1997.
They are survived by their son (*).

Now it's a case of trying to figure out how to trace (*).

Hi Richard: I completely missed the correct Walter Winarski in the SSDI. I thought Miami, Arizona was an error and discounted it. Then I read your post today and went found out that there actually is a Miami, Arizona. So after five minutes of banging the keyboard and visiting a couple of websites, I can tell you that ...

... I think I know who (*) is. I'll send you a personal message.

Regards,
John

Hi John,

Thanks for all your work. I'll check out the names you have given me for Walter's offspring.

Between your information and the details from the associated thread:

I have found just about everything I need.
I applied for a birth cert for one of Julian Winiarski's daughters to see if I could get Caroline's maiden name to prove our family connection. I am still waiting for this.

Thanks,

Richard.

Hi,

http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html

Try that site. There are over 15 million old newspaper pages available. I just searched Winiarski and got 2432 hits.  Most of them for the Niagara Falls Gazette.  There might be some useful information.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Fred,

Just realised I forgot to thank you for the link to 'fulton history'.
I'd seen the site before but had forgotten about it. I've had another look and picked up some interesting background material on the younger members of the family but nothing new on Julian Winiarski or his wife Caroline (Karolina).

Thanks.
Richard.
