Researching the Garstka lineage from
Chicago IL. Would like to exchange
information. Please feel free to contact
me anytime.

My grandmother's maiden name was Apolina Garstka, born in Poland on Feb 1, 1898, I think. She married Leon Kott and had 2 children, Casey and Irene

Does this help you any?

My name is Garstki, but my grandfather was a Garstka living in Chicago since approximately 1883. I would be happy to share any information with you.

Hello

Could you let me know from where your grandfather came?

Tomasz Garstka, POLAND

I have a very small book with my grandfather's signature and something more written in his hand. Some of the words are difficult for me to read, but this is what I think it says:
Ryto___sci w Krakouze
25-Padrievnika 1911 v.

Stanislaw Garstka
Piestrzec

Thank you, but no. My grandfather was married to Juliana Dominska who was a sister to Salome Dominska Savola in Hammond.

My grandfather, Stanislaw Garstka, had no relatives in America. He came from Piestrzec in the south of Poland, and later from Krakow, arrival date unknown. He apparently did not arrive thru Ellis Island, so his tract to Chicago is unknown to me.

Have information on Stanley, Julia, (Juliana) Stella and Walter Garstka who once lived near 79th on Muskegan Avenue and later near 83rd and Colfax in Chicago. Were cousins of the Savola family in Hammond Indiana.
