THOMAS LEWANDOWSKI FAMILY, Jersey City, NJ

Hello:

Looking for others researching the Thomas Lewandowski (with variant spellings) family of Jersey City, NJ.

In the 1900 census the family is given as "Levendusky":
Thomas, age 47 [b. ~1853], "Germany;" year of immigration: 1883, Alien
Eva, wife, age 44 [b. ~1856], "Germany;" year of immigration: 1884
John, son, age 17 [b. ~1883], "Germany;" year of immigration: 1884
Annie,daughter, age 15 [b. ~1885], NJ;
Joseph, son, age 13 [b. ~1887], NJ;
Frank, son, age 11 [b. ~1889], NJ;
Stella, daughter, age 9 [b. ~1891], NJ;
Martha, daughter, age 7 [b.~1893], NJ;
Thomas, son, age 2 [b. ~1898], NJ

I believe Eva and the son John are the same as the following, who sailed on the "General Werder" from Bremen and arrived in NYC on 24 December 1883:
Eva "Levendowski," age 26 [b. ~1857], wife;
Johann, age 8 months [b. 1883], child

Traveling with them were:
Marijanna Levendowski, age 27 [b. ~1856], wife;
Leon, age 5[?], child;
Josepha, age 3, child;
Francisca, age 11 months [b. ~1883], child

I believe Francisca (Frances) is possibly my great-grandmother, daughter of John and "Mary" (Urban/Urbaniak) Lewandowski who settled in Albany, NY. Thomas is therefore possibly John's brother...

Looking for any information on where the family might have originated in Poland/Germany and any possible cousins.

Thanks -

Patti
