Hi Ron,
I'm a modest assistant in Poland to dear Norbert, I see I can add wonderful info to his very hard work, in this Lagiewniki located in the township Grodziec county Konin just north of Kalisz are still living and farming family surnamed Walczak!!
Here are confirmation from Polish white pages:
1. Feliks Walczak, Lagiewniki, Poland
2. Piotr Walczak, Lagiewniki, Poland
3. Waldemar Walczak, Lagiewniki, Poland
Finally,
Let's invite you to your grandparents' beloved place of birth and childhood in this part of central Poland, you can see all their homelands, woods, and local road to near Krolikow where their holy Polish church was located, and where they were going all Sundays for a holy mass:

The family ancestral church Krolikow is confirmed by Slownik Geograficzny (Geographical Directory) 1880-1902 see the Lagiewniki - name going grom old Polish word Lagiewki - water storages made in old centuries from wood or leather by local producers - see point 5) from this page:
