Subject: [PBS] STEINERT of Gorny Slask

I have information that in 1887 a man named Ignatius STEINERT arrived in
Chicago from a place called Beuvawiash in Gorny Slask. I am looking for old
country information on Nicholas (Mikolaj) STEINERT from Detroit who came over
(supposedly from 'German Poland' but unable to trace so far) in 1880.

STEINERT was variously spelled SZTAJNERT, SZTENERT.

I don't know if or why these two branches knew each other or if we're related.

Where is Beuvawiash in Gorny Slask?

Thanks, GH




St. Stanislaus Kostka certainly is Catholic.  When did your great
grandfather's
daughter marry Mikolaj Steinert?  My grandfather had a brother named Michael,
who married Julia Henke? in Chicago on the 23rd of February in 1895 at St.
Stans.  It is difficult to read her surname correctly on the marriage record
at
St. Stans but the obits do list it as Henke.  Are you familiar with the
PGSA.org site, the Polish Generalogical Society of America?  As a Chicagoan,
it
has been a great help to me.  St. Stans was right down the street from where I
lived between the ages of 2 and 7.  My grandparents and parents were married
there and my grandmother was buried from that church.  By the way, Julianna's
father's first name was Wojciech.
    Also, family tales say that my Steinert family did not come all at the
same
time.  My grandmother always said that her husband stayed in Europe longer
than
his parents since he was getting trained as a tool and die maker.
    If they are not the same family, maybe there is some connection.  We'll
just have to keep digging.              Sophie
