Tracing my ancestors of my maternal grandmother, Helen (Helena) Meleski (Chmielewska) is one of my most difficult brick walls .\u00a0 The reasons this line is so difficult are that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My grandmother never liked to talk about her past.<\/li>\n
  2. This line lived in what is now Lithuania and Lithuanian records are not very abundant in the Family History Library.<\/li>\n
  3. I’m not exactly sure where my Chmielewski ancestors lived or where the parish was.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To be honest, I do have living relatives in Lithuania .\u00a0 One of my cousins, Liliana, was born there\u00c2\u00a0but now lives in the United States .\u00a0 Liliana’s mother is still living in Lithuania, but doesn’t\u00c2\u00a0know much about our common ancestors, Wincenty Chmielewski and Anastasia Wojnowska.<\/p>\n

    This is what I do know about the Chmielewski line .\u00a0 Living individuals are not represented in this chart.<\/p>\n

    As I look over the records I’ve posted so far on the Chmielewski\u00c2\u00a0line, I see I’ve rather neglected\u00c2\u00a0this family .\u00a0 I’ve only posted one birth, marriage, or death record for the Chmielewski\/Meleski family, although I’ve posted cemetery records, images of gravestones, naturalization papers, and notices of change of name for this family .\u00a0 As I post additional records, I’ll link the events listed on this page to the actual records.<\/p>\n

    Despite the fact that I have so little information on my Chmielewski ancestors, my cousin Liliana has provided me with a lot of information about our cousins living in Lithuania and Russia .\u00a0 Since Liliana still visits her mother in Lithuania regularly, I’ll have to see what I can do to travel back to Lithuania with her someday so I can\u00c2\u00a0walk through\u00c2\u00a0the ancestral family villages and visit the\u00c2\u00a0church archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
