New Found Relative: Curt Wolf

On September 21, 2020 I finally sent a message to Curt Wolf on the Ancestry website. I had found hints from his tree on Ancestry, which I am a paid member and on My Heritage, which I had limited access to since I am not a paid member. I had not reached out until this point because I didn’t have enough information in my tree. It turns out we are related--4th cousins. He was born in Grand Rapids and lived here with his family for a while. Our common ancestors are Andrzej Kaszuckii (1799-1861) and Salomea Wiciejewska (1804-1877) --my 3rd great grandparents. Their son Jozef Kaszucki had Katarzyna Kaszucki,my great grandmother . Their daughter Julianna Kaszucka had Jozef Niedzwicki), Curt’s great grandfather. Jozef and his wife Paulina nee Eifler were married in 1906 in Tomaszow and came to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1910, the same year Anthony’s older brother Jan arrived and a few years before Anthony arrived in 1912. Jozef and Paulina are buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. His mother Lucille (Krezewski) Wolf passed away in May of this year Curt did missionary work with his wife for a year in Moldova and was able to visit Poland. He has done extensive genealogy work and has hired a genealogist. He was able to visit Tomaszow with a translator and hear family stories from a distant relative and see where they lived. He shared his tree with me along with lots of information he had found. I hope to share some of that information when it fits into our family’s story.
