The records state the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Konstanty Niedzialkowski was retired and resided at 40 Barnes av.;<\/li>\n<li>his wife Helen also resided at 40 Barnes av.;<\/li>\n<li>Kostanty&#8217;s son Frederick F was a draftsman working for Heald, and resided at 14 Gifford dr;<\/li>\n<li>Frederick&#8217;s wife Janice V also resided at 14 Gifford dr;<\/li>\n<li>Kostanty&#8217;s son Henry was a driver and resided at 40 Barnes av;<\/li>\n<li>Kostanty&#8217;s cousin Ralph F was a polisher for C&#038;K International and resided at 13 Montrose; and<\/li>\n<li>Ralph&#8217;s wife Jane J also resided at 13 Montrose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The addresses listed in this entry were the addresses I remember visiting in the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph usually spelled his name Niedzialkoski rather than Niedzialkowski. Later, Ralph changed his surname to Newman because people had such a difficult time spelling and pronouncing the name. Apparently the name change was made after 1964.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Copyright \u00a9 2007 by Stephen J.
