WISNIEWSKI/NOWAK/old letter posted in Poland
My WISNIEWSKI line came from Wielowes, Poland to Shamoki, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania around 1885.Jon
WISNEIWSI married Eleonora NOWAK in Shamokin.4 of their children were born there.Then they traveled on to
Cudahy, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin where the family settled permanently.
I just found a letter from a WISNIEWSKI which was written to my great-grandfather Jon WISNIEWSKI:
The return address was:Nad. Florian WISNIEWSKI, Wieloweis' poert Pakos(e' or l') (Natek), pow. elluyilno.
It is postmarked March 31947 in Chicago, Illinois--then March 4 1947 in Cudahy, Wisconsin.
On the front of the envelope there is a stamp with a large "R", then Pakosc and below that Mr. 417
There are three stamps in a blue color all which say 10 ZL (I assume 10 zlotys)
