Richard, I just wanted make you aware of something concerning the names.The names as you have them are from Catholic church records and were thus written in Latin.
Your great-great-grandfather's name in Polish would have been JAN Tomaszewski, or possibly JANUSZ Tomaszewski.
His father's name would have have been JAKUB Tomaszewski in Polish, and his mother's first name would have been JÓZEFA in Polish.
Your great-great-grandmother's name would have been FRANCISZKA Olejniczak.
Because the Latin forms of the names would appear only in church records, when you refer to these people, you should refer to them by their correct Polish names.
