Janowski/Krupka Families in Edwardsville/Kingston Area of PA - near Scranton

jmfuzz1948 — 2009-09-07 10:53:06Z

My grandmother, Cecelia or Celia Janowska was born (abt 1887) in Poland/Russia and came to PA in 1901 according to 1920 Census records. They lived on "Meyers" St--not sure about that. She and my grandfather, Josef Krupka (arrived 1892 and born abt 1878) had ties with St. Hedwig Church in Kingston. I do believe they were married there (abt 1908-09, and had all five children baptised there: John (1910), Frank (1912), Leokadia (1914-died while a child and buried at St. Hedwig Cemetery), Anthony (1918) and Jenny (1921). I would appreciate any information about ties to either of these people.

Re: Janowski, Joseph, Julie, Norb, Marvin, Delores Families

ksleonard167 — 2008-04-09 13:18:01Z

I am also searching for Joseph Janowski (possibly middle name is John) born 1895 - 1897. I believe he was born in Cleveland, Ohio but moved to Michigan (Detroit area). He had 3 sisters Leocadia and Frances born in Poland but came to US. As a young boy he lived with Leocadia & Adam Golkowski in Cleveland. Also a sister Josephine (Janowski), born in Cleveland, married to Constant Bulkowski (my grandparents). Josephine was raised by the Kalas (Collis) family. I keep coming up with your Joseph and a Joseph whose wife's name may have been Marry, Son Joseph, Daughter Lillian, Father-in-law John Tucholski. Both were on the 1930 census. I am more inclined to think it was the later one.
Thank You
Karen

Andrew Felix Janowski

doloresjanowski — 2007-01-08 04:23:44Z

I carry the last name of Janowski but through a previous marriage. My ex-husband passed away in 2003 but we had one son. I am trying to gather information to add to my family tree. Someone posted the birth of Andrew Felix in Texas in 1882-1883 and I know he passed away here in 1959. He married Mary Matilda Dickerson and I found military registration in Harris County, Tx. He was living in Humble, Tx. I haven't been able to find an early Texas census record that included Felix. I had heard previously that brothers came from Poland (don't know where to) but later at least one came to Texas. There are other Janowski's in this area that we don't know and I have just started searching. If anyone has come across this name in their searches, I would appreciate any info.

My grandmother was Victoria Janowski, but I don't believe she would be related. All I heard about her is that she came over on a boat from Poland with my grandfather, Martin Janowski.

Dear Kristen,

This may be a big leap of faith but your father, Gordon Janowsky, may be a classmate of mine. My name is Ted Klenk and the Gordon that graduated with me was in the class of 1955. I am trying to get in contact with him.

I briefly contacted him when he lived on the peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area then he moved and I lost contact. Is your dad and my classmate the same person? If so any help you could offer to put me in contact with him would be most appreciated.
