Anthony’s parents, born in Tomaszow Lubelski, Poland, were Katie (Katarzyna) Kaszucka (1869-1944) and John (or Jan) Raczkiewicz (abt. 1867- 1920?) When my genealogy search began in November, 2019, I knew that Anthony may have had other siblings, that remained in Poland or also emigrated, that had not yet been discovered by me. I have found that five siblings came to the U.S. The two I knew about were my grandfather, Anthony who was born March 13, 1896 and his brother Joseph who was born in 1891 or 1894. I first discovered their oldest brother Jan/John (born June 1889) also came to Grand Rapids, before Anthony and Joseph. Then I found his sister Marion who was born December 16, 1902 and ended up in Muskegon, Michigan, about 30 miles from Grand Rapids. My mother Shirley Longwell remembers visiting her house one time. Lastly, I discovered Paulina born in either 1901 or 1905 who came to Grand Rapids but I think ended up in the Detroit area. I discovered he also had siblings that remained in Poland: Franciszek (b. 1898), Boleslaw (b. 1906), and Piotr (b.?) These siblings that came to the U.S. all claim Poland as their birthplace on various documents. For example, when the three brothers in Grand Rapids registered for the WW I draft in June of 1917, they all listed where they were born as Lublin (state), Poland (country) and Russian (citizenship.) Anthony listed his city as Tomaszow. Tomaszow is a village in the district of Gmina Pulawy, within Pulawy County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It lies approximately 7 kilometres south-west of Puławy and 51 km west of the regional capital. John listed his as Zabaldy which is how you pronounce Sabaudia. “Sabaudia is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Tomaszów Lubelski, within Tomaszów Lubelski County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.”
