I just came across this page by accident and would like to find out if we might be related somehow. My name was changed from Chmielewski also. I had started my genealogy awhile ago, and now I am trying to get back into it. the Meleski side has been harder then I thought. please drop me a line I would like to compare the little info I have to see if we might have a connection.
Thank you
John Meleski
