My grandmother, Ludwika Kuna, came from Przedborz, only 1 or 2 km from Prz. Huta. She was born in 1874 and came to the US in the 1890s.

Her parents were Andrea and Jadwiga (Skrupka) Kuna

Hello,

I'm looking for my Kiwak family who resided in or near Buffalo, NY and/or Lackawana, NY.

I have seen on ellisisland.com a Stanislaw Kiwak who was married to a Marya Kiwak - they were from Galicia and settled in the Buffalo area. I am wondering if they are a link to my great-great-grandmother, Anna Kiwak who married Joseph Fleiger - they resided in Buffalo, NY.

Any help is much appreciated...

I was very excited to hear from you. Your great-grandparents were born in Poland but lived in Hastings. That's were they got married. I have their wedding aplication if you are interested. They got married in 1905. I have a picture of the family taken around 1930. I would love to hear more from you. Please e-mail me at mwaxy@att.net.

Re: Vincent Kuna

MWaxy — 2008-05-29 02:45:21Z

I would love to hear back from you. I have a picture taken of Vincent and the family sometime around 1930. Yes, Vincent was born in Poland but lived in Hastings after his arrival from Poland. He was married in Hastings. I think it was around 1906. Please e-mail me at mwaxy@att.net

I wanted to answer you quickly. I was so excited to see your reply. Vincent wasn't born in Hastings but that is where he lived after coming from Poland. He did get married in Hastings. I think I have his wedding application. I would need some time to find it though. The name Mader sounds familiar. I have the Tribune obituiries for the family. I will go through them again. I also have a picture of the family taken around the 1930's. Please e-mail me at mwaxy@att.net

Re: Vincent Kuna

cubsbaby86 — 2008-05-28 04:55:15Z

OMG!!! Vincent and Margaret Kuna are my great grandparents. Your whole story makes sense!!
I would love to talk with you some more about this somehow! I had NO IDEA they were born in Hastings, PA...I thought Vincent was born in Poland from my research but i dont know. I am doing a family tree for a school project.
Vincent and Margaret had a daughter named the same Margaret Kuna. and she married Joe Mader had 3 children. They lived in Chicago and Margaret and Joe resided in Arlington Heights, IL.
I realy hope this is all correct but i want to be sure.
Please get back to me somehow. I would LOVE to talk more about this!

If you want to research in that area, there are microfilmed records that you can look at by ordering them through the Family History Center, if you have one in your area.
Do you know the name of Rozalia's parents?

Re: Kuna from Kolbuszowa area, 19th century

2006-12-06 15:42:13Z

My wife's grandmother Rozalia Orzech was born in Huta Ptrzedborska in 1902. She just died in 2001. My son and I visited the village in 2000. It's still tiny. Grandma Rozalia and her husband sent money back to the village in the 1960s to build a church in the village. Don't know much more than that.

Hi Steve,
My grandfather was also born in Hucisko in 1889. The parish church is Sw. Mikolaja in Niwiska which is just down the road from Hucisko.
I ordered microfilm #0996700 from the Family History Center and have gleaned lots of information from it about the families who lived there. The years are about 1796-1855 for birth, marriage and death.
If you do not have the baptismal record of Wojciech, you might try writing to the parish priest in Niwiska. It must be done in Polish and with very specific names and dates as his books are not indexed, plus he does not have all years available at the rectory. Depends on what you need.
The other option would be to write to the civil offices in Niwiska for the same information.
I will write to you privately, if that is okay with links and pictures of the area.
I don't have any Cwaneks directly related to me, but have a few names in my files anyway.
Regards,
Valerie

We have an Andrew Kuna in our family tree, he was my great uncle and married my grandmother's sister Elizabeth Mihalik. Andrew was from Velkelvare(which means "high mountains"), Czechoslovakia.

Together they had four children:
Elizabeth whom married Adam Sitarski;
John-died at 20 months old;
Anna whom married Edward Jurenka-NJ;
and Emily whom married Joseph Lakiewicz-NY

Hey, maybe you are related to them and I'm sure they'd love to know. If you want to respond to me, I'll get a message to them.

Re: kuna family

hcurtis79 — 2003-08-09 02:24:57Z

I imagine Stanislaw is a fairly common Polish name, however my Great-Great Grandfather's name was Stanislaw Kuna (b. 1884). He immigrated from Poland and eventually wound up in Michigan. He married Anna Greczekowizk (also from Poland, however US Census records have her listed as of German descent). They had 3 children while they lived in Detroit, MI. Please see the post referring to Henry Kuna--this may be of interest to you.

Re: Kuna/Kunna in MI, Henry

hcurtis79 — 2003-08-09 02:16:52Z

I am searching for information on the same family. Maybe we should swap info. I have limited information on them.
Stanislaw KUNA (b. 1884 Poland, d. 4.16.1928) married to Anna GRECZEKOWIAK (b. 1887 Poland, d. 1935)
3 children
1. Helen KUNA (b. 1912 Detroit MI, d. 1933)
2. Henry KUNA (b. 1915 Detroit MI)
3. Janina Marcella (KUNA) GOODALL (b. 12.21.1918 Detroit MI) *Name changed to Jenny

Anna remarried someone named TURSKI and had a daughter Lorraine (2.5.1933)

I have a lot more information about Janina's family, as I am her great-granddaughter. It is odd that I found your post, because I was coming here to find info on the same family.
The surname spellings included here are all verified and are correct to this family.

Vincent Kuna

MWaxy — 2008-03-02 02:41:53Z

I am searching for any family members of Vincent and Margaret Kuna. They were originally from Hastings, Pa and moved to Chicago around 1929-1930. I believe there is a connection with my family, through my grandfather, Joseph Waksmundzki. His grandmother's name was Katherine Kuna. Vincent Kuna's daughter, Rose has been at some of my family functions over the years. John, Vincent's son atttended my grandmother's wake in November of 1961. I would love to hear from anyone to see if we can make a connection

Re: Vincent Kuna

MWaxy — 2008-04-04 19:38:35Z

I'm not sure if Vincent Kuna is from Slovakia. I am trying to connect Vincent to my family. Kuna is the maiden name of my great-great grandfather's mother. He is from southern Poland, the town of Waksmund. It is possible the he could be since Slovakia, is not the far away.

Hello all,
I am looking for anyone in the U.S. or Poland who might have Kuna ancestors from a small village called Huta Przedborska, near Kolbuszowa, Poland.
Antonius Kuna was the son in law of my 3rd great grandfather, Casimir Staron. Antonius Kuna married Salomea Staron on February 12, 1821 in Huta Przedborska, a small village near Kolbuszowa.
They had 8 daughters, Catherine, Marianna, Anna, Agnes, Franscisca, Angela, Ludovica and Petronella.
I have a few birthdates for the daughters but no marriages. Still researching this family.
If any of this sounds familiar with your own research, let me know. It might be fun to swap information.
Regards,
Valerie Koselka
Researching the following surnames from Hucisko, Huta Przedborska, Niwiska and surrounding villages: Warunek, Zadlo, Regula, Wojsowicz, Staron, Kuna, Kuca, Rakoczy, Sitko, Cwanek, Dluzen, Jemiolo, just to name a few.
