Bronislawa Raczkiewicz was born April 1, 1918 in Bay City, Michigan

My grandfather Anthony Raczkiewicz and his 1rst wife Klementyna Golebiowska had a daughter,Bronislawa, on April 1, 1918 in Bay City., Michigan I am not sure why in Bay City instead of Grand Rapids -- I think his first wife Kkementyna had family there. (By the way--her mother’s maiden name is Roczniak.) Additionally, the priest that married Anthony and Klementyna at Sacred Heart Church in Grand Rapids, had previously been in Bay City. Bronislawa’s mother died three days later of complications of childbirth, in Grand Rapids Michigan. Their child Bronislawa died a few months later (July 12) at three months 12 days old. She died in Blodgett Children’s Home in Grand Rapids, which was some sort of children's hospital. She died of congenital heart disease. She was under the care of a physician for the previous month.
