Hi Cynthia,
I always make sure to post to the list(s). I figure that if I am going to
look up the info, it should be of use to as many people as possible. Also,
people requesting lookups need to get their surnames seen by as many
individuals as possible.

With the amount of information available on these two disks and the
potential spelling variations of your ancestors, it would be a good idea for
you to purchase copies for yourself. You can find the information to do so
on the following site...

Best of luck on your research.

Subject: Look Up request PLEASE! ;-)


Hi Sandra,
I recently joined the list and I saw that you have kindly offered look-ups
in CDs that you have. Pardon me for writing to you directly, but I wanted
to know what CDs you had, and if you see a potential match, ask you please
for some look-ups. To me, my information seemed at little long and
burdensome for a simple list
posting, so I put it in this letter. I hope you don't mind. I have dug and
dug through Ellis for my great grandparents, and only found one set, despite
trying about every way to spell their Polish names! There are two other
sets of great grandparents that I have had no leads on, as to when/where
they came in, and any corresponding info which might provide leads as to
where they came from. First and foremost, I am looking for my maternal great
grandparents, Stanley Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc, his wife Elzbetha
Lahovitz/Lachowicz/Liachowitz/etc and Stanley's mother Agnes
Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc. According to the Federal Census information
I have found, all records state the three Immigrated in 1888. I don't know
what port or from where, other then Polish Russia. I have found death dates
for Stanley & Elizabeth and there was no additional information,
unfortunately. They lived their entire lives, to the best of my knowledge,
in Northumberland County, PA. Elzbeth COULD have had the surname
Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc when she arrived, as their marriage date is
consistent in records as 1888 as well. As for the other set, well my
paternal great grandfather, Josef Zarnowski arrived 1888 and the woman he
married in Philadelphia PA, my great grandmother, Weronika Rupinska arrived
at some time prior to 1895, when she married Josef. Again no one in the
family has any clue as to where they came from or what port they entered
into...I MIGHT have some clues as I have recently found out that Josef had
at least one sister, Anna Zarnowski and MAY have had at least one brother
named Julius Zarnowski. Weronika did have a brother who came to America
first, my great aunt THINKS his name was Benjamin Rupinski but is not sure.
Spellings I have seen for Weronika's
surname include: Rupinksa, Rupinski, Rupienska, Ropinski. His death
certificate states he was from Poland, as does hers, only my great aunt said
Weronika lived within a day's travel or less from Warsaw. Weronika's
daughter, my great aunt, said that she thinks Weronika came into NY or
Philadelphia, but said all she remembers her momma saying that it was a very
big city, so it could have been either, or any other port. If you find any
of these surnames, or any variation of them, well I sure would appreciate
it. Thank you Sandra!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Zarnoski McCathern
