Pawlak, Michael and Katherine of New Britain CT

elinder_1 — 2009-09-21 17:48:33Z

Looking for the family of Michael Pawlak of Willow St., New Britain CT. Also signed his name Mykhayl Pavliak. Michael probably died around 1967. He was a Pawlak and a Dutka, he claimed to be born in Scranton PA, but he possibly spent time in Poland as a youth. He was married three times, and with his first wife, a daughter of the Demiak family, he had 8 children. That wife passed away, he married a second briefly and then eventually married Katherine, who had children from a previous marriage. They appear to have lived in New Britain until they passed away. He was related maternally (Dutka)to the Maria Bazylevytch - Alexander Kostyshak family of Klimkowka, Galicia (now Poland) and corresponded with Eugenia Bazilevitch Brelinsky of Montana for many years. A niece, Olga Pawlak of Zabrze, Poland and another neice Maria Pawlak (and husband Volodymir) of Krakow Poland also are mentioned.

I am looking for relatives of Michael(P.?)Pawlak of Willow and Broad St., New Britain, CT who was also related to the Bazilevitch/Kostyshak family from Klimkowka, Galica (now Poland). Michael was married three times. He had 8 children by his first wife (a Demiak family daughter), who died in 1944, followed by a brief second marriage, his third wife was named Katherine, who also had children from a previous marriage.
Michael' letters conveyed he was born in Scranton PA. but lived most of his later years in New Britain CT. He may have spent some time in Poland as a youth. He had a son who lived with him till probably 1950 or so. Michael's mother was a most likely a Dutka (he stated he was a Dutka and a Pawlak) and was from Galicia(now Poland). He corresponded faithfully with an apparent Aunt, Eugenia Bazilevitch Brelinski of Montana until her death in 1967, and his death not too long afterwards.

Re: Detroit Pawlak's or Wroblewski's

Found out that they were from Sroda Weilkopolska and that they also had brother and sister who married each other. Brother and sister were Antoni (Anthony) Pawlak and Mary Wroblewski. Settled originally in Detroit, but looking for more information. Please help if you can.

Thanks for your reply. I do know that Leo Pavlock settled in Jamestown, NY, but it might well be a different family. But, many of the Pawlaks were originally from Tioga Co.

Thanks for your email. Yes, I think the last "Michael Pawlock" is my great great grandfather. The dates of entry and age are about right. Otherwise, I have consulted Joyce Tice and the Tioga websites. Very extensive , and helpful. Hoping that Michaeel Pawlak's grave would be at St. Mary's cemetery, since he was a founding member of the polish catholic church there.

Regrettably there's no immediate match between your Marcin and Mary and mine. My family settled in Buffalo NY, and Marcin died long before 1950.
Have you tried to trace them back to the ship that they came over on?
Church records for marriages and baptisms also usually contain where the family was from in the "old country."
Providing parents names, dates of birth and death will help better identify your Marcin and Mary for others.

There may be a connection between Michael Pawlak in Dunkirk NY and Leo Pavlock (Pawlak), brother of Martin Pavlock (Pawlak) of Arnot and Blossburg, PA (Tioga County). I just spoke by phone to Fr. Martin Pavlock, who lives in Jamestown and was formerly from Dunkirk. If you would like to get in touch, please email me at jrpavlock@verizon.net

Re: Pawlak

jrpavlock — 2009-05-28 22:09:12Z

I am the great-grandson of Martin (Marcin) Pawlak and Mary Pavlock, featured in the photo on St. Mary's Church in Blossburg, PA (Tioga Co.) on the occasion of the church's 75th jubilee in the 1950s. They were one of the founders of this church, which was the second oldest polish church in the US and oldest in PA. If anyone has any information on Martin Pawlak (i.e., info on his parents, documents evidencing his brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles), I would be most appreciative. I have quite a bit of info, but am looking more for info on his ancestors, place of origin in Poland, etc. Thank you. Jim Pavlock (Pawlak).

Re: Pawlaks from Helenowo, Poland

janmel — 2008-08-26 12:48:45Z

On reflection, I think there is probably a connection. I don't think Helenowo is a large city, although Pawlak is quite common. My grandmother, Stanislawa aka Stella, came from Helenowo in 1903 to Chicago where she met her brother Ignatz. She had a younger brother, Antoni, who came to her in Chicago @1913. His Social Security application gave his birthplace as Konin, with father, Stanislaw, and mother, Jadwiga/Louise Jablonska. A family story is that Stanislaw was something along the lines of the "town crier" or some other minor official. Many of the family stories are not correct though. Think there is a connection?

Hi jbixby80, my grandmother was Sophie Pawlak (Conti), her father's name was Ignatz. Trying to find where he was born and saw your note. The only child of Ignatz that is still living is my Aunt Betty (Elizabeth)

Hello Joseph,
This is a very nice surprise! I am very glad another Pawulak replied to me.
From what you say it is very possible we are talking about the same Jan. It would be great to get more information about him, to see to what degree was he related to my grand-father.
If you want pls contact me directly at: barysna@yahoo.com
and I will tell you everything I know about my family and will send you some pictures, too.
Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Re: THE PAVULAK / PAWULAK / PAWULIAK UPDATE!!!!!!!

JOSEPHPAWULAK — 2007-11-21 21:34:09Z

HELLO MARIANA,
I MAY BE RELATED TO JAN, WHO I THINK WAS MY GRANDFATHERS FATHER. HE WHO HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED SOPHIA NAMED FOR HIS MOTHER IN THE UKRAINE. THEY CHANGED HIS NAME TO THE EASYIER SPELLED PAWULAK WHEN HE ENTERED THE US. BOTH JAN AND HIS PROSPECTIVE WIFE FROM POLAND/SOUTHERN UKRAINE LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY AND MOVED TO LONG ISLAND. MAYBE THE SAME PERSON? HIS BROTHER WHO STAYED IN THE UKRAINE WAS A ORTHADOX PREIST BEFORE THE WW1.
MAYBE WE HAVE THE SAME PERSON, OR MAY BE CLOSELY RELATED...

THANKS,

J.PAWULAK

Wow, I wish this could be the Ignatz I am looking for but in 1903 my guy was living in Chicago. He came from the Russia/Poland area in the Konin province. So I doubt this is my guy. Thanks though.

Anna, my Pawlak grandmother and at least one of her brothers came from Poland and lived back of the yards on 31st St. I know there was a relative named Pelagia Pawlak but don't know what the relationship was. Email me offline and maybe we can see if we can find a connection. thanks

tsweeks — 2005-11-06 22:19:08Z

I am looking for any further information on Pawlak's that were born in Indiana. My g-grandmother was Mary Pawlak and married George Nowak. She had a brother Frank who married Rose (?), a brother Joe, a sister Gertrude, a sister Rose who married (?) Kraft, and a sister L??? who lived in NY. Mary, Gertrude, and Rose all supposedly died of TB. I would be very interested in finding any relatives and any further information on ancestry. Thanks much.

Would you happen to know any other information about the Stanley Pawlak you mentioned?

My gggrandfather Stanley Pawlak was born May 5, 1880 in Poland (I think) and Immigrated around 1898. He died March 1968 in Dunkirk, NY. His wife, Victoria Pawlak (Wisniewski) was born around 1887 in NY and died in Dunkirk, NY. They had 7 children that I know of: Mary Frances (My ggrandmother), Stephen, Sophia, Jane, Edward, Chester, and Rose.

The Stanley Pawlak you mentioned as your grandfather's brother is my great great grandfather. I would really appreciate any information you could give me on your family so I can connect the two. My grandfather Ronald Krystofiak of Dunkirk mentioned that him and your father were 2nd or 3rd cousins or something like that.
