Sorry, no Albert. The sons they had were Joseph, who drowned age the age of 13, Peter,imigrated to Schofield, WI, John, who died at the age of 6, Anthony, who died at the age of 1, Ignatius,who died at the age of 1, Stanley, died in the First world War, Joseph, who was a mail carrier in Poland.

The parents of the above were John Bukowski (1838-1930) and Josephine (abt 1842-1929)

Daughters: Michalina Brzuchalski, a step-sister, Agnes, my paternal grandmother (1869-1950), Rozalia Barczak, died in Toledo, Ohio Dec. 21, 1906, Mary Pitkowska, who died at the age of 22, Magdaline Wawrzyniak, lived in Missouri, Katarzyna Stachowska, Frances Stachowska, died Jan. 22, 1933 in Poland.

The Bukowski family did farming and Agnes' job was taking care of geese. Thia was near Biskupin, Znin. I don't think the old village of Biskupin exists any more. I was there in 1999 on a tour of Poland and it appears that a newer village was built farther away from the lake, which had a tendency to flood during heavy rain.

Be cautious not to confuse these villages with Biskupin Fort, a lost ancient village that was on an island in Lake Biskupinskie, and was discovered by a schoolmaster in 1933 who found a pointed wooden stake on the beach. Soon afterward, archaeologists did excavations and dug up about 35,000 more stakes, which they claim were driven into the lake bottom to serve as a dike. As lake levels dropped, the island became a peninsula. The fort has been rebuilt and is a popular tourist attraction as well as a world archaeological site. The fort is attributed to the Lusatians, a Gemanic culture from 550 BC. I doubt if Agnes knew about the discovery, she and her husband immigrated the America in 1890, arriving at the port of Baltimore on February 13 by the S.S. Rhein.

My address has changed since the previous post. Sorry for the long delay.
