My great grandfather Thomas Godlewski (b 1873) and wife Stella(b1877) (Blumen?) were from Poland/Russia. They had 6 children: John, Sophia 1898, Jenny 1900,Clementine1909, Muriel 1912, Joseph 1915. A son Domenic dies in a street car accident.
For a while they lived in Bayonne, NJ. In the 1920s they brought a farm in Finderne NJ. They attended Sacred Heart Church. Their daught Clementine became a Carmelite Nun. Their house was very close to the railraod track and burned down. They rebuilt futher from the tracks.
Thomas's brother were :Jacob, Stanley, Chester, Benny (maybe others)
Stella had a sister Genevive . Genevive married Stephen Kolkowsky. Their children were: Charles, Leo, Henry, Helen, Walter, Jeanette, Jess and Pauline.
Does this sound familar to anyone? If so I would love to hear from you.
