Two of my Danko uncles married two Skowronski sisters, daughters of Franciszka Dymek . The Dymek families were listed in the 1940 edition of Polk’s Worcester (Worcester County, Mass.) City Directory . There are (at least) two family groups listed . The first consists of Stanislaw and Frances Dymek and their children Chester, Henry R., Walter, and Wm (William) .  I don’t know if or how the other Dymeks in the directory fit into my family history.

Click on the link for a PDF copy of the 1940 Worcester City Directory Entry for the Dymek Family . The brief record states the following:
- Stanislaw Dymek, husband of Frances, worked as a moulder at Arcade Malleable Iron So and was head of household at 81 Endicott St
- Chester Dymek worked as a slsmn (salesman) and resided at 81 Endicott St
- Henry F. Dymek worked as a lab (laborer) and resided at 81 Endicott St
- Walter Dymek worked as a hlpr (helper) at Arcade Malleable Iron Co. and resided at 81 Endicott St
- Wm (William) worked as a shoe wkr (worker) and resided at 81 Endicott St
Using Steve Morse’s One-Step Webpages, I learned that the Dymek family’s residence at 81 Endicott St in Worcester, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, USA was located in the enumeration district 23-131 in the 1940 United States Federal Census.
