Anna, very difficult to help you with so small info, maybe some Amercian friends from this forum could help with American databases, from us from Poland you can note:
Your Nathan first name is not Polish, maybe it's ANTONI, your Nathan family name Gursky is also not as origin from Poland, and might be as:
GURSKI or GO~RSKI (o with Polish grammar diacritical mark over the letter)
With Polish etymological works, for your Family History Book:
This family name is noted from the year 1368, derived from the place in Poland named Gora, Gorka, Gorsko... (means a mountain, small hill)
NOW!, try to find any Amercian database giving his place of origin, one is EI database search Gold Form: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/eidb/ellisgold.htmlhttp://www.jewishgen.org/databases/eidb/ellisgold.html?
Please try to check all Antoni Gurski and Gorski, there are few, please try to find your, and his place of birth/origin in Russia (Poland under Tzar in the 19th c), his destination to the US, etc.
Hope this helps a bit in your invaluable search, GOOD LUCK!
Tad
