Have both marriage records.

His Mother Victoria Frackowiak was born December 24, 1863 in Wierzbocice, Poland per baptismal record. Died March 4, 1942 and is buried at St. Hedwig’s old cemetery. Parents are Stanislaw Frackowiak and Antonina Koltoniak per baptismal & marriage record. The first letter A in Frackowiak has a c under that letter which is pronounced as ON according to the Polish Alphabet. That is why Frackowiak is pronounced & written as Franckowiak in American records.

Wanda Tomczak was born April 11, 1915 per baptismal record from St. Mary’s Czestochowa church in Junction but registered as May 11, 1915 because the register did not understand when her father gave Kwiecien as April but understood Maj as May. Her parents were Albert (Wojciech) Tomczak and Apolonia Cutkowski per baptismal, birth certificate and marriage records. Both parents are buried at Thorp, WI City cemetery. She Married Joseph Losiewicz August 23, 1947, St. Mary’s Polish National Catholic church, Lublin, WI. The son of Anton Losiewicz and Helen Kijek, born Sept. 14, 1907, Coal Center, Washington County, PA died Nov. 10, 1987 Chippewa Falls, WI. Wanda Died on February 28, 1988 Marshfield, WI and buried at St. Mary’s cemetery, Lublin, WI with husband Joe Losiewicz.

I have done a lot of research in Poland and United States on the Sluzewski, Frackowiak, Tomczak and Cudak/Cutkowski family but would have to hire a researcher in Poland for Anton Losiewicz and Helena Kijek. I see the Kijek name also spelled as Kijak. Anton Losiewicz was a soldier in the Russian army and Coal Miner in Pennsylvania.
