Milka was my mother's last name(Sandra Milka). My grandfather Peter Milka lived in Elgin Illinois, and I am unsure of the names origin. I was told it was either German or Polish as our family is both Polish and German.

My grandfather was Stephen Joseph Milka and I think he immigrated to America around 1911. He had a brother that also immigrated at or about the same time and his name was Andrew Milka. Stephen was born 10-15-1896 in Kazimierza Wielka, Poland and died 02-18-61 at Salem,WI. Andrew was born 11-25-1893 somewhere in Poland and died 05-08-62 in Chicago, IL. Their parents were Joseph and Katherine (Szuster) Milka. Stephen was married to Paulina Humitowicz. Andrew was married to Sophia Stawarz. That is about all I know. I was wondering how the best way is to find out about my polish relatives, or was most of that distroyed during wars etc. Thanks for any information You can contact me at my e-mail address: mcase@advertisnet.com

I don't think we are related, but for years I thought that my family were the only Milka's in America. My father is deceased and so I have very little information about our past. This is all the information that I know. My father (Chester Stephan Milka-deceased)and his sister (Lorraine Pauline (Milka) Kuczkuda-deceased) were born in America to Polish immigrants. Their parents names were (Stephen Joseph Milka Paulina (Humilowicz) Milka). Stephan was born in Kazimierza Wielka, Poland on 10-15-1896 and came to American about 1911. I was always under the impression that Stephan came over with his brother (Andrzej later changed to Andrew Milka) on the same ship, but I can not find Stephan's name on the manifest, but it is very difficult to read the blurred manifest. Andrew was born on 11-25-1893 also in Kazimierza Wielka, Poland. Andrew and Stephan's parents names were (Jozef Milka and Katarzyna (Szuster) Milka). All of these people are gone now and I don't have much more information at this time and don't even know where to turn for information in Poland, so this is all I will probably ever know. Let me know if you have any information that can help me find relatives in Poland. Good luck and thanks for contacting me.

I had someone take pictures of the tombstones in recently and unfortunately there was none for John Krank. I only have his listing from the cemetery list from St. Adalbert's Cemetery.
I suspect he was buried shortly before 1897. I do not have any other info about him except he is buried next to Maryanna
Milka who is either his sister or his daughter. (I believe it is his daughter.)

Hi,
Frank (Francis) Maza married Augusta (Augustina) Milka in Poland. They immigrated to US. One of their daughters, Helen may have married a Zinda or Zynda and his first name may have been John. One of their sons, Michael C. Maza,
married Elizabeth June (Lizzie) Zinda in Holloway, MN.

Bernard and Francizek (Frank) Maza were brothers.
Francizek (Frank) was married to Augusta (Augustina).
Felix was Francizek's (Frank's) son and was married to Helen.
Francizek also purchased this Maza/Milka burial plot.

Re: Milka

2002-04-20 19:14:44Z

Hi Diane The only name in your response was Felix Maza.
I searched my memory bank and as youngster( 60 years ago
I recollect the name being mentioned in conversations around the house. Best I can do. The Maryanna and Joseph Milka's are completely unknown to me. Did you check registration at
St Adalbert's for any others. Have a good one

your Query

2002-04-17 03:43:22Z

The name Maza rings a bell. No Frank was not my grandfather
but I remember my parents going to visit some Maza' s in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. I think my dad's sister thru
marriage had relatives with that name. I have no plot numbers
in St. Adalbert's cemetery, but most of my relatives are buried
there, a lot of Milka's. I moved away from the Chicago over 40 years so I lost track of alot relatives. Good to hear from you none the less.

I'd be curious to know if you know anything of a robert milka(a cousin)whose father was Peter. also had a sister arlene,but parents divorced probably 60 years ago. I still trying to remember if my dad ever spokeof an "uncle Joe" meaning his dad's brother or in other words your grandfather, am I correct. Oh, by the way, I don't believe you mentioned where you moved too?

re; reply

2001-04-28 17:22:03Z

Cici: The names you gave are not fimiliar to me. I estimate my grandfather arrival in US around 1885 to 88 according to washington dc archives. all my relatives(aunts,uncles,etc,)are in st adalbert's cemetary. Do you live anywhere near schaumburg. my immediate famil-ly all moved to calif in late 40's, early 50's so i have really lost track of a lot of relatives. Names like kowalski,(i think this was my grandmother's maiden name)my one aunt married a rostenkowski. Did you say Leon and Josef were possibly brothers? Do you know if they lived anywhere near Poznan,poland as this is supposedly where my jaja was from. be waiting to heaar from you?
