Searching for Rogowo, Russia (Poland)

[JonSaxon]

Hi All – I am just starting to trace my Polish side of the family, and hoping to clarify a few items. I have Polish ancestors who immigrated through Ellis Island on 09 Feb 1909 (I have seen the Ship’s manifest on the Ellis Island web site), and I am 100% sure it is the right individuals.

Me too Chico. I'm guessing our ancestors must have come from the same place too. How has you search been going?

Hi Jon - Based on family stories and other information I have found, I am confident that I have the correct 'Rogowo' for my family. But as was pointed out in the thread, there are several Rogowo's in Poland.

What additional information do you have (family stories, documents, etc.) that can help pinpoint which Rogowo is the right Rogowo for you?

Kind Regards -

Hi Chico,

and here is the complete (?) list for Rogowo places in Poland: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogowo

the typical journey from Poland to Rotterdam would have been in the 20th century (and today) by rail via Poznan/Posen - Berlin - Cologne.

Hi Chico,

and here is the database for civil registration in Poland: http://metryki.genbaza.com/

17 million scanned pages of docs. - I think you have to register, but it is free.
