PIENCZYKOWSKI and SCZYMANOWSKI Family Group Record

My grandmother's side of the family has been the hardest to research. The names are difficult to say and easy to misspell. Besides their being a private family, I'm new at finding difficult to find information. So, if you are related to me via the PIENCZYKOWSKI family, please let me know! Maybe together we can connect the missing links. For privacy and protection, I will not be divulging any information about the descendants of these families. My intent from this posting is only to gain information on the ancestry of Walter and Lottie Pienczykowski.

Hi, Erika
I was downloading scrapbook stuff and came upon your scrapbook website through the LDS Blog Train and the July post for Noble Birthright. For some reason I looked at your info and saw this web page listed about your grandmother's family. I am a DIE HARD genealogist and LOVE to help other people. I live for genealogy, in fact!!! I looked up your family in the 1910 census and I think I found them but the names are pretty mixed up. I would love to help you if you would like some help.

At dziadek, Walter's, funeral the elderly neighborhood women told my mother that her father had come from wealthy landed gentry in Poland. There were two stories about why he left Poland at the age of 19, crossed Europe, and boarded a ship bound for the USA. One was that Poland was ruled by Russia at the time and he refused to serve in the Russian army. The second was that his father said that if he was to inherit he would have to live his life as dictated by him. Both stories could be true. Anyway, he worked as a mason all of his working life in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he raised his children. His brother lived in the New England area, so he had left Poland also. His brother was a lawyer. My mother said he used to visit once a year until her father accused him of flirting with his wife. Their sister in Poland became a nun. -Aunt Tish
