While I was\u00c2\u00a0at the Massachusetts State Archives in\u00c2\u00a0Boston a few weeks ago, I found the Naturalization Papers for Stanislaw Markiewicz .\u00a0 Stanislaw was the grandfather of my cousins’ cousins .\u00a0 Let me explain…<\/p>\n

My Uncle Michael Danko married Jean Skowronski, and my Uncle\u00c2\u00a0Joseph Danko married Helen Skowronski .\u00a0 Jean and Helen were sisters, and they had several siblings, one of whom was Edward Skowronski .\u00a0 Edward married Bernice Markiewicz .\u00a0 Stanislaw Markiewicz was Bernice’s father .\u00a0 Clear?<\/p>\n

One problem with finding the\u00c2\u00a0Ellis Island\u00c2\u00a0Passenger Manifest for Stanislaw Markiewicz is that when I searched the Ellis Island records, quite a few immigrants named Stanislaw Markiewicz came up .\u00a0 I had no idea which was the correct immigrant .\u00a0 One way to find the correct immigrant is to first find the Naturalization Papers.<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts State Archives holds microfilm records of many of the Naturalization Papers for those naturalized in the Worcester Superior Court. On a whim, I searched one of the microfilm indexes:<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0WO\/SUP
\nSuperior Court Department
\nINDEXES
\nBox 2111265
\nFrom: 01\/01\/1943 To: 12\/31\/1978
\nCase #’s: NATURALIZATION-SEE EXTEN
\n[MARZILLI:PERLIN]<\/p>\n

and found a Stanislaw Markiewicz\u00c2\u00a0listed under\u00c2\u00a0Petition for Naturalization number 30012.<\/p>\n

In short order, I had another microfilm on the reader:<\/p>\n

WO\/SUP
\nSuperior Court Department
\nNATURALIZATION-PETITION AND RECORD BO
\nBox 2131573
\nFrom 01\/01\/1939 To: 12\/31\/1939
\nCase #’s: VOL. [112:114]
\nPETITION # [29907:30373]<\/p>\n

and I zipped right to Petition 30012 .\u00a0 I quick check of the Petition for Naturalization and I saw his wife was Antonina Lejwoda and among his children was listed Mrs. Bronislawa (Bernice) Skowronski.<\/p>\n

The first page in Stanislaw’s file was his Certificate of Arrival<\/a>, a document I previously described on this Blog.<\/p>\n
