polish immigrant to Wisconsin, usa
I have hit a brickwall and could use a hint or out-right help.Joannes Czekaj ( Americanized John Checki) was born abt 1832 in Eastern Europe. There is some confusion whether he came from Germany, Prussia, or PolandHe ended up in Seneca, Wisconsin before the 1905 Wisconsin censusI believe his relative in Wisconsin is Martin Checki. same county ( Green Lake ) in Wisconsin. Martin was born in Gluschyn, Posen, PolandI have Martin's immigration info but cannot find John. I have checked all the pages…See More

jerry jumpin replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"The English ancestors I study are from Uttoxeter. My problem of finding some ancestors immigration info is more general however. I have relatives from Poland, Austria, and Ireland. So the probnlem must be with me not asking the right question :~))"
Weezie replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"What countries are you talking about? Eastern Europe? and where did they go to England, USA, Canada???

Bleggy replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"G'day Jerry
I have never found this to be the case but one way you might check is look at the other people on the manifest are there any families or couples at all listed if there are then it would mean that only one of your people travelled on…"
David11000 replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"I try never to assume anything. I've never come an instance where adult passengers have been missed.
Where in Staffordshire were they from?"
jerry jumpin replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"I suspect he came over with his brother or cousin Martin Czekaj about apr. 1882. Have checked the 3 original pages of that manuscript. I believe there are only 3 pgs but could be wrong"
jerry jumpin replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"was originally spelled Joannes Czekaj. Was later changed to John Checki. It has also been found as Chaki. I believe he came over 1877-1887 but closest date I can estimate is 1879-1882"
Weezie replied to jerry jumpin's discussion shipsmanifest or list of people onboard in the group Staffordshire Genealogy"Hi,
Are you looking at the actual manifest or is it a transcription. Where were these people going, from what port and what time frame? In transcriptions I have encountered many spelling mistakes, but I eventually found the people on an…"

shipsmanifest or list of people onboard
Have any of you encountered immigration papers stating only the name of 1 person in the family as on board when you know there were probably several family members along with ? Do you just assume they all came along at same time? Sometimes the un-included may also be adults like adult brothers &/or sisters See More

Am also doing research in Prussia, East and West. It is also called Poland; I suppose the difference is caused by the time period you are working in. Am looking for Czekaj ( Checki) in West Poland, Poznan Province around Gluszyna.
In East Prussia my missing link is Adalbert Pepowski, born in 1820's. There are 1 or 2 towns in the area that contain many Czekaj references. Getting the microfilm and researching is probably the most viable course.
