Looking for anyone who can help with these names. My ggrandfather was born
Martin Szymanski in Poland and changed it to Semanski, because people had
trouble with the spelling of it. I know he was born Martin Szymanski on
Oct.22,1871 in Poznean Torkow Provence Reznan,Poland. I don't knew when or
with who he came to USA . He married a Eva Schok on Aug.8,1899 in La
Salle,Illinois. She also was from Poland. Their first child was Annie born
in July 25,1900. She is buried in her grandmother Schok plot in La Salle.
The rest of their children were born in Albia, Iowa. Martin also is buried
in Albia, Iowa. Any one with information about Martin and his family would
be very help. I would like to find his parents and/or silbings names and
dates.Thanks in advance! Lisa Tooley
