Felix was my paternal grandfather's brother. They came from a small village of Wanacja, near Bialystok. Three brothers came to U.S. (On most Polish documents his name is spelled 'Feliks'). Felix and brother Frank arrived on the ship "Kleist" on 2-22-1913. If you go to the Ellis Island site, the spellings of their names was horribly transcribed! Look for Jelix or Franz Siwek. After writing to the family still in Poland, they still spell their name as Siwik. Michalena came to U.S. with two small children, Antoni and Antonina on 5-20-1914 and the ship name was "Bremen". Contact for more if you need. What relatives do you have in Pennsylvania?
