Strzyzowski, Maciejewski, Macionas
I am looking for information about the families of my grandparents. Dr. Bronislaw F. Strzyzowski was born in Mariampol, Poland-Russia (now Lithuania), on either 3 March or 3 October 1859. I don't know his parents' names. Adela Macionas Maciejewska was born in Warsaw in December of 1866. Her father was Michal Maciejewski
and her mother's name was Marta, probably surnamed Macionas.
Bronislaw and Adela were married in about 1882. They may have had at least two children who died in their infancy in Poland. Bronislaw came to the United States in
about 1889 and began a medical practice (later working also as a druggist) in Chicago. Adela and her father Michal sailed to the U.S. on the Furst Bismarck in August 1892, joining Bronislaw in Chicago. Michal died in Chicago on 1 April 1900 and was buried at Graceland cemetery.

My father, Edward Julian Strzyzowski (who changed his surname to Sanders as a young man), was born in Chicago on 28 December 1900. His mother died (on 4 October
1903) when he was not quite three years old and his father died (on 18 February 1907) shortly after he turned six. Both his parents were buried at Graceland.

There seem to have been no close relatives anywhere near (I know of none at all), and my father was raised by a friend of the family, Edward Kwasniewski of Chicago.
