Hi Clyde,
There are a few on-line U.S. records for Roman/Raymond Tanski and his family.Unfortunately, none of them point to his ancestral home in Poland.You may have to get a copy of Roman’s U.S. Naturalization documents to identify his last residence and/or place of birth.
Here is what is available on-line:
A 1900 U.S. census for Roman Tanski and his father John Tanski living with Roman’s cousinJohn “Viscitski” in Ironwood, Gogebic County, MI.
A 1910 U.S. Census for “Roneo Tantski” living at 200 Hemlock in Ironwood Ward 1, Gogebic County, MI.
A 1920 U.S. Census for “Raymond” Tanski Sr. living on Main Streetin Sturgeon Lake, Pine County, MN.
A 1930 U.S. Census for Annie Tanski living in Sturgeon Lake, Pine County, MN (Roman may have been working away from home).
A WW I Draft Registration Card for Roman Tanski.
A U.S. Naturalization Index for Roman Tanski issued in the U.S. District Court of Milwaukee.
A WW II Draft Registration Card for Roman Tanski.
Roman Tanski was born on August 24, 1881 in Russia/Poland.He married Anna Grabowski around 1909 in ether Pine County MN or Gogebic County, MI.Anna Grabowski was born around 1893 in Minnesota.Roman and Anna had two (2) children, both born in Michigan:Hallie M. born around 1911 and Raymond F. Jr. born around 1916.
After 1930, the family moved to Milwaukee, WI.In 1938, they lived at 2615 South 8th Street and in 1942, they lived at 1710 North Pulaski.
Roman was naturalized a U.S. citizen in Milwaukee in 1938.
According to the census records, Roman Tanski immigrated to the U.S. between 1898 and 1900.
Roman’s father Jan/John Tanski, was born around July 1957 and immigrated to the U.S. around 1893.
As I indicated earlier, your best shot at finding Roman’s ancestral home is to get a copy of his U.S. Naturalization documents.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Great Lakes Regional facility, located in Chicago, IL, is the repository for the Naturalization Records for the U.S. District Courts (RG 21) in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

You can request a free name search via email, but all the responses of the searches are sent back to the requester through the U.S. mail. The email address is: [email protected]
They ask for the following information: 1) Name of naturalized individual, 2) Date of birth, 3) Country of origin, 4) Date of immigration, 5) Place of naturalization and 6) Date of naturalization.If you do not know the exact dates, merely indicate an approximate date or else “unknown”
Indicate in your email that you are particularly interested in the following documents: Petition for Naturalization, Declaration of Intention and/or Certificate of Arrival.
Finally, you must include your mailing address and other contact information in your email request.
Within a couple of weeks you should get a response indicating that the NARA has the documents you are seeking or they will provide you with the name of the agency that has the records.
I will email you images of the documents discussed above.
Good luck,
Norbert
