His parents were also born in Russia-Poland.<\/li>\n<li>Adam immigrated in 1896, had lived in the US for 4 years, and was an alien.<\/li>\n<li>Adam worked as a laborer in a foundry and had not been out of work the previous year.<\/li>\n<li>Adam could speak English and lived in a rented house at 123 Millbury Street, Worcester, Massachusetts.<\/li>\n<li>Adam&#8217;s wife, Petronela, was 36 years old, born in June 1864 in Poland-Russia. Her parents were also born in Russia Adam and Petronela had been married 14 years.<\/li>\n<li>Petronela had 3 children, all of whom were still alive.<br \/>\nAdam and Petronela&#8217;s children were daughter Selina (Czeslawa), age 9, born July 1890 in Poland-Russia; son John, age 7, born November 1892 in Poland-Russia; and W\u0142adzys\u0142aw, age 3, born April 1897 in Poland-Russia.<\/li>\n<li>The family lived with five boarders: Paul Seliski, Joseph Goliski, Joseph Saliskiey, Anielia Stasoki, and Mary Droughlewski, all immigrants from Poland-Russia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The census lists the surname as Bunasklie, although the correct spelling of the name is Bonislawski.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Adam immigrated in 1894, but the third son of the couple (W\u0142adys\u0142aw) was born in April 1897. Either Adam returned to Poland after his initial immigration, or W\u0142adys\u0142aw&#8217;s birth was a non-paternal event.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the household included a number of boarders was not uncommon at the time. My paternal grandparents also roomed boarders in their first residence in Worcester.<\/p>\n<p>This record includes a number of annotations. The marks in the left margin indicate that another family living at 123 Millbury Street was enumerated on sheet 8, line 63. The marks over Adam&#8217;s first name and the desigation &#8220;head&#8221; are difficult to read, but appear to say X\/Pf10 3C 5B. The 3C indicates that three children were in the household. The 5B indicates that 5 boarders were in the household. The X\/Pf10 indicates that 10 people total were living in the household.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Copyright \u00a9 2007 by Stephen J.
