Hey I have being doing allot of research myself on this last name. I have been finding that its from all over the world, one place forsure is "Austria", polland, China, India, Africa, and in the Middle EastA. I also found that it may come from Sawatski, Sauve, and other variation. I also found out that one of my Grand Fathers died in 1906 in Saskatchewan Canada.

No sorry. I've tried to attach a marriage record that might be of interest to you. Let's see if this works or not.

Where they Catholic? I have had a lot of luck with the church records. You probably already know this but If they were married in the US in the Catholic Church there should be a record of it. I've found parents names as well as the godparents names. The Godparents were almost always relative. My Mary Hadala had a daughter Aniela or something close to that. American they called her Angeline. I also just was told by one of my distant cousins that the death/burial records sometimes have the city of birth on them. I've never looked at those. I'd love to look at any of the Hadala documents you have or come across. I'd be happy to share mine with you as well. My email address is berendes1@charter.net if you care to communicate directly. I have my items scanned and could email them to you.

Thanks,

Brenda

I must correct my entry concernining Karoline Hadala, Daughter of Zofia Sawa. She was born on 12 June 1895 and to date I believe she immagrated to the USA on 10 April 1910 from her possible home in Gasonzka, Galicia.

Re: Does Anyone...?

coley347 — 2008-03-03 04:42:35Z

My Hadala came in 1906 and lived in Yonkers, NY. I am having the hardest time with Polish records getting me very far. I found Aniela (not Daniela) as I had originally thought on ellis island logs and knew it was the correct one because she listed Pierz ( my name) as who she was going to live with. I am going to order her husbands naturaliztion records and pray there is more info on that. Keep you posted!

Re: Does Anyone...?

berendes1 — 2008-02-29 03:52:27Z

I'm not sure if they are of the same family but I don't think it can hurt for us to communicate. My Hadala's came to the US in the late 1800's. I know they lived in Delaware then Missouri and one went to Indiana and ended up in Ohio. What part of the country were you Hadala's located? Were they Catholic? If you have a city of marriage perhaps we can find out more information on the marriage license and church records.

I have a few Hadala's (also spelled Hadawa) in my ancestry. Not the same as what you've named but here's what I do know. I have Anna and Marianna both lived in Tarnow,Galacia,Poland moved to USA in the late 1800's. Marianna lived in Wilmington,Delaware and St. Louis, Missouri. She had a sister named Anna who lived in St. Louis but moved to Ohio. I have a few documents about them if you'd like copies I can scan and email them to you. I'll need your email address. I have photos too. Marianna married Wladislaus (Walter) Szyniaka (also spelled Sinaka). After Walter died Marianna married John Wollenberg. Anna Hadala married Alphonz Dembski.

Tengo familia in Argentina con el apellido Sawa, tambien. Una tia Sawa fuera la marida de un hombre con el appellido Holodowski. Ellos tienen 4 ninos, una que murio en el barco a tu pais (como en los 1800 o muy temprano 1900's). Sabe de ellos?

Re: Does Anyone...?

C_Korbutt — 2004-07-31 11:12:53Z

Could that be Zofia Sawa? Daughter Karolia Hodala or Hadala or... born Poland in part of the Austrian Empire 1895. I don't know about sisters or brothers yet.

Zofia Sawa

C_Korbutt — 2004-07-31 11:06:35Z

12June 1895 Zofia Sawa and Grzegorz ?Hadala or Hodala had a daughter Karolina. She came to the US in 1913. Birth of her first child has Karolina born in Austria "Poland" She married Wojciech Gawel in the USA. I am looking for any recognition of these names or towns in Poland that I might search.

SAWAYA / SAWA / SAWAVA / SAWADOVSKY
Are all the variation for the same family name SAWAYA

Origins of the SAWA surname

sawaya_a — 2003-01-09 14:19:40Z

SAWAYA / SAWA / SAWAVA / SAWADOVSKY
The original surname is SAWAYA from UKRAIN. I paid money to get these data, it was a long research. I'm from Lebanon and I live in Italy, I was surprised to find out that the Sawaya surname has origins in Ukrain. I was convinced that Sawaya had origins in Italy from Savoia. OK cousins, keep in touch and let me know if you collect any new info.
You can send me e-mails if you want and i'd be glad to make friendship with MEGA-distant cousins.
Ciao
