I received this from my cousin Jim Bradley whose grandmother was Louise Orlowski/Bates. Her father was Michael Orlowski born 1846 in Prussia and died 1939 in Leavenworth KS per his tombstone in the Kickapoo Cemetary in Leavenworth KS.Please review the names of the Michael's wife and children listed below and please note that Michaels parents Michael and Catherine Orlowski died in Leavenworth Ks also................Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. We are going to Europe this summer and hope to locate some of the family home sites.
Thanks
Georgia Howlett
Great granddaughter of Louise Orlowski

Georgia,
This is what I have from the 1900 Census, hope it helps some. It shows that Michael and Laura were both born in Germany.
1900 Census film roll #485
Born Age Married Children Children Living
Born Living
Michael Orlowski Jul 1846 56 20 years
Laura Orlowski Dec 1855 44 20 Years 8 8
Laura Jul 1883 16
Louise Oct 1885 14
William Dec 1887 12
Augustine Feb 1890 10
Annie Jul 1892 7
Otto Jul 1894 5
Ernest Feb 1898 2
The information above does not agree with their tombstones.
Michael Orlowskib Jul 28, 1854, in Prussia, Germany, d 1939 in Leavenworth Co., Ks.
They were married abt. 1880
Elnora, Laura Orlowskib 1885 in Germany, d 1901 in Leavenworth Co. Ks.
Lenora’s maiden name was Gutski, Goodski or maybe Gootski, we have heard several pronunciations.
My mother was supposedly named after Elnora.
Michaels parents were Michael and Catherine Orlowski
Michael Orlowskib Sep 18, 1812 in Prussia, Germany, d Mar 20, 1884 in Leavenworth, Ks.
Catherine b Jun, 1817 in ?, d Feb 6, 1898 in Leavenworth, Ks.
I hope some of this information helps, I have not found my pictures of the headstones but will continue to look. Will be looking forward to hearing what you can find out.
Enjoy your trip,
Jim B.
