Descendants of Maryanna Balczerowicz Generation No. 1 1. MARYANNA1 BALCZEROWICZ was born Abt. 1800 in Wagrowiec,
Poland. Child of MARYANNA BALCZEROWICZ is: 2. i. KATARZYNA2 BALCZEROWICZ, b. November 25, 1830, Wagrowiec,
Poland; d. October 30, 1908, South Bend In. Generation No. 2 2. KATARZYNA2 BALCZEROWICZ (MARYANNA1) was born November 25, 1830 in Wagrowiec,
Poland, and died October 30, 1908 in South Bend In. She married JAN JOHN DRAJUS November
09, 1851 in Sebrna Gora Parish. He was born Abt. 1830 in Wagrowiec,
Poland, and died Bef. 1900 in Possibly Poland. More About KATARZYNA BALCZEROWICZ: Burial: St Joseph
Cemetery Notes for JAN JOHN DRAJUS: The Drajus Family in South Bend, Indiana Source: Candi Tyler, South Bend November 2007 Yes, Joseph did have
other siblings. He had three other
sisters. Antonina, his oldest sister lived in South
Bend. His sister Magdaline
and her husband were married in Chicago, but lived in South Bend. They owned a bakery. His sister Agnes lived in South Bend, but
eventually moved to Chicago, where she died. Joseph's parents were
Jan and Katazyna (Balczerowicz)
Drajus. I have
not been able to find anything on Jan, but Katazyna
lived in South Bend with Magdaline and her
family. She died on 10/30/1908 and is
buried in St. Joseph Cemetery. There is
a possibility Jan never made it to the states. Andrew and Antoinette
(Bilinski) Drajus are also
related. I was first told by family
members Andrew was my great-great-great grandfather, but his birth did not
figure into the mix. He was born in
1832 and my great-great grandfather Jan was born in 1837. I think Jan and Andrew may have been
brothers, but I have not been able to prove that. Andrew's death certificate did not name
parents. What I find interesting is
Andrew did have chronic Brights Disease and Delphine (Klysz) Mezykowski has the same thing. Delphine is a Drajus as well as a Brzezinski. Her father was the son of Michael and
Josephine (Drajus) Klysz. Josephine was the daughter of Andrew and
Antoinette. I do know Antoinette was
born in Wongrowiec. I know very little
about Maryanna (Herman) Drajus
before she came to the states. She died
when my grandmother was 13. Although I
spent a lot of time with my grandmother, I never asked about the family
history. I could kick myself now. Her father's name was Thomas, but I do not
know the name of her mother. She was not
named on the death certificate. Joseph and Maryanna
married here in the states. I hope some of this
will help. Let me know if I can answer
any other questions. Candi Children of KATARZYNA BALCZEROWICZ and JAN DRAJUS are: 3. i. ANTONIA3 DRAJUS, b. August 25, 1857, Powiat Wagrowiecki, Poland; d. September 18, 1914, South Bend In. 4. ii. JOSEPH DRAJUS, b. December 24, 1859, Prussian Poland; d.

of George and Antonina (Drajus)
Sokolowski. Frank never married. He was born on the Herman ship, but baptized
at St. Hedwig's Church. The birth date
on the church record is wrong. He was actually
born on June 12, 1881. His real name was
Francis John. He was quite a character
and liked by all. He could stand on his
head even as he aged. He was quite the
artist. He worked at the fruit market
which was located next to my grandparents drug store at 805 S. Chapin in later
years. In 1910 the fruit market was at
805 S. Chapin. He hung around the drug
store a lot. After Michael Brzezinski's
wife died in 1939, Frank moved in with Michael and his children on Walnut street. He lived
there until he died. Source: Candi Tyler 2008 More About

father, and siblings. His mother died
before they reached their destination which was suppose
to be Fort Wayne. His father was to meet
his friend, Anthony Stasiak. The only way, people will be able to document
his mother's name and birth is to obtain a copy of the ship record. Her name was Valentina
and she was born in 1877. The ship was
the SS Breslau. The ship left Bremen on
April 26, 1906 and arrived in Baltimore on May 11, 1906. Alex's father, Anthony re-married Mary Wlodarek in 1908. Wlodarek was the name of her first husband. Anthony and Mary lived at 617 S. Pulaski
Street, in South Bend all of their lives and this is where Alex grew up. Alex's siblings were : Kazimiera, Stephen,
and Rosalie. Rosalie was born in Poland
and her name is on the ship record. The
first census she appears in shows she was born in Poland. The following census have
her being born in Indiana. It is also interesting
that Stephen and Alex became US citizens with his father, but Rosalie did
not. She would have been granted
citizenship. Kazimiera
did not receive her citizenship because she was too old at the time. That occurred in 1916. Mary brought three children to this
union. They were Konstancya,
Veronica, and Ludwiig. I was not able to find Alex in
the 1930 census. At the time, he was not
living with his father. He did enlist in
the US army on 9/10/1942 and served in World War II. When he returned to South Bend, he was living
at 1031 W. Dunham. Clara and Alex had one child, Clara Helen. She married a man by the name of Mossell. I have no
other information on her. More About
