Hello listers, I am new to this list.

I am looking for my great grandmother in the 1910 census and also for her siblings in Lawrence, Essex County MA.

Here is what I know:

1) Her name was Helena Michkowski or Meszkowski (a). She was born in Berzg, Russia (Lithuania) in 1890. She came to the USA probably through a port of Massachusetts in 1908. I was unable to find her on the Ellis Island web site and she also did not come in through the port of Philadelphia where she later settled.

2) She had a brother named Walerian Meszkowski that went to Lawrence before her. He was going to his uncle Longin Mitesewicz at 12 Cammon (or Cannon) Street, Lawrence, MA. (His last name could have been Matusewicz? or Matusiewicz?)

3) She also had a sister named Sophie and a brother Franz. I don't know when Sophie arrived. Franz did not come until 1911.

4) By 1920, Helena, Franz and Sophie were all in Philadelphia. I have never located Walerian in any census.

If you could help me find Walerian and his uncle and also Helena in the 1910 census, and or Walerian and his uncle in later MA census's, I would be so grateful!

Thank you in advance if you are able to help me! Sincerely, Sandy Lovell
