I am looking for any information regarding my great grandfather - John Szczerba - We believe he lived in Zolyni. He married Anna Roozawicz - bu that may have been in the US. He came to America in 1900 - through Brenan (Spelling?) Germany. I was told that he had a least two brothers - Peter & Joseph.

Anna had a least 3 sisters - Theresa (Monmantusewisia), ? (Lachet) and Agnes (Szczesny) and 1 brother - Joseph.
John & Anna had 8 children in the US.
Any information would help. Thank you

I have found that John Szczerba had at least one Sister named Marja Wall and her family lives in Pittsfield, MA (currently). They have the last name of Jamula.

I am also researching Szczerba surnames, mine settled in Pennnsylvania, with ties to Chicago or Detroit. I have had some response from other Szczerbas, I will keep an eye out for the Szczerba family you are looking for. Do you know what area of the U.S. they settled in?

Try LDS Microfilm rolls 1959519, 1959900, and 0766013. I received a note awhile back from another researcher who said he found a John and Anna Szczerba in one of these microfilms. I don't know how accurate the information is.

I'm researching Zofia Szczerba (aka Sterba) from the Zakopane, Malopolski area.

If at all possible, could you please contact me about any information you have on the Jamula's you mention in Pittsfield, PA?
I am researching my Jamula family and trying to link people up here in the US to try to help me find proper place in Poland my people are from.

My grandmothers name was Jane Szczerba, maiden name Kalata. She married into the Szczerba family here in Detroit. Her mother Mary Kalata came from Poland...

I am newly on the internet. I have just been shocked at the fact that there are over 5000 postings listed under the name Kalata. I am 56 years old and have been in the USA since 1950 and have always been under the apprehension that there was only a handful of Kalata's in this country. I have extremely little knowledge of the family history of this surname. I do know that that my grandfather was married three or four times and had children from each marriage. From what I can remember being told at a young age, my father had a brother (maybe named John) who preceeded him to America in the Buffalo, New York area or maybe in the New England area. I am aware of cousins from his sister (or maybe she may have been a half-sister) but otherwise I have never had any knowledge of any other possible relations out there until the possibilities that the internet provides.

If there is anyone out there who believes that there might be a connection, please respond.
