<\/a>1910 US Federal Census Record for Mary Danko<\/p><\/div>\n
The 1910 Census Record for Mary Danko<\/a> shows that she was working as a servant in the home of the Cusenberg [?] family at 48 Coral Street in Worcester, Massachusetts .\u00a0 This address is not far from where my grandfather, Michael Danko, was living at the time, and it is also not far from Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa Church, the Polish parish in Worcester .\u00a0 The census shows that she was 22 years old in 1910, indicating that she was born in 1887-1888, a date that agrees with all the other birth information I’ve found for Mary after she immigrated .\u00a0 The Census record also shows that she was single, she was from Austria, she was Polish, and she immigrated in 1909 .\u00a0 All this information is consistent with what I already know about her.<\/p>\n This information is, however, still at odds with the date of birth I found on her birth\/baptismal, emigration, and immigration records .\u00a0 This discrepancy begs the question again; did my grandfather have two sisters named Marya and Marianna?\u00c2\u00a0 I took another look at the Ellis Island records for 1909.<\/p>\n A search of the Ellis Island records using Stephen Morse’s forms at http:\/\/www.stevemorse.org\/<\/a> provided three hits for the year 1909:<\/p>\n I believe that the first of these entries is the record for my Great Aunt Mary, and I know that the second of these entries is the record for my grandmother, Mary .\u00a0 These two\u00c2\u00a0Marys listed my grandfather as brother and husband, respectively, and\u00c2\u00a0said that they were going to stay with my grandfather in Worcester.<\/p>\n The third immigrant is an enigmatic Marya Danko<\/a> who was from Weso\u0142a, Austria and traveled to Chicago .\u00a0 Oddly enough, the manifest for this Marya Danko is the right age to be a match with my Great Aunt Mary (22 years old in 1909, meaning she was born in 1886-1887) .\u00a0 She listed her nearest relative as her father Jocolry [?] Danko living in Wesola .\u00a0 This is clearly not my Great Aunt Mary, since Great Aunt Mary’s father Jakub died before 1909.<\/p>\n Passenger Manifest for Mary Danko from Weso\u0142a - Left<\/p><\/div>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Passenger Manifest for Mary Danko from Weso\u0142a - Right<\/p><\/div>\n However, there are some interesting coincidences here:<\/p>\n While Marya Danko from Weso\u0142a is not my Great Aunt Mary, perhaps there is a family connection there, nonetheless .\u00a0 There are still mysteries here, but\u00c2\u00a0one mystery solved is where Great Aunt Mary was and what she was doing in 1910!<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
