Crosby, M.D. from September 1, 1952 until his death<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Frank was buried in St. Joseph&#8217;s Cemetery, Gardner, Massachusetts on October 26, 1955 by funeral director John W. Bobka of 149 Franklin Street, Clinton, Massachusetts<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Frank was a 78-year old, white male, married to Ceslevia Bonislawski<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">His usual occupation was that of a moulder in a steel foundry<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">His Social Security Number was not obtainable<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Frank was born in Poland, and was the son of Wojciech Niedzialkosky and Julia Gutowska, both born in Poland<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">The informant of Frank&#8217;s death was his wife, Ceslavia Niedzialkosky, Tuttle Road, Sterling<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\">This record is of great importance in tracing both my own ancestors and those of Frank&#8217;s descendants, because it lists the names of Frank&#8217;s parents, and Frank&#8217;s parents are my great-great-grandparents.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The information on this record agrees with that on <a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/599\">Frank&#8217;s Birth and Baptismal Record<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Birth and Baptismal Record shows that Frank Niedzialkosky&#8217;s name at birth was Franciszek Niedzia\u0142kowski<\/li>\n<li>The Birth and Baptismal Record shows that Frank was born in 1876; the Death Certificate shows that he was born in 1876-1877<\/li>\n<li>The Birth and Baptismal Record shows that Frank&#8217;s parents were Wojciech Niedzia\u0142kowski and Julianna Gutowska; the Death Certificate lists the parents as Wojciech Niedzialkosky and Julia Gutowska<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Frank&#8217;s place of death was Tuttle Road in Sterling, Massachusetts, and so he died at his farm, called <em>Sky Farm<\/em> .\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know why the farm was named Sky Farm .\u00a0 Perhaps one of Frank&#8217;s direct descendants knows.<\/p>\n<p>The entry for Frank&#8217;s Social Security Number states &#8220;no obtainable&#8221; .\u00a0 Since Frank&#8217;s usual occupation was listed as &#8220;moulder, steel factory&#8221;, I would expect that Frank would have been required to apply for a Social Security Number, but the number is not listed on this Death Certificate .\u00a0 I also find it interesting that, although Frank owned a farm, his usual occupation was a moulder in a steel factory.<\/p>\n<p>The Death Certificate shows that Frank was born in Poland, but does not specify where in Poland .\u00a0 Without a more specific location, it would be impossible to find Polish records for Frank and his ancestors .\u00a0 Fortunately, I knew that my grandfather was from Pomoski, a village that was part of the Szwelice Parish in the \u0141om\u017ca Gubernia in Kingdom Poland, and that&#8217;s exactly where I found Frank&#8217;s Birth and Baptismal Record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
