[Pandagurl123]

Hi my name is Danielle I am doing a family research project. My great great grandfather joesph golba came from Poland, I was told he got in a fight with his brothers and he went to Chicago while they stayed in New York. I can't find anything on the man it's making me crazy, does anyone k ow his parents names or siblings? He came with frank golba.

His birthday is listed differently on diff documents, on his tomb stone it says March 1881 but in polish records it was in march 1879. I can't find any other siblings he supposedly had a lot, or his parents.

You say you haven't found anything on your gggrandfather Joseph, but you know his birthyear from his tombstone.  In what cemetery or city is the tombstone?
