The Synar Family Home Page

I am searching the family of Valanty and Valeria Synar. Valanty was born in Poland in 1848. He was also known as William Cynar and Walenty Synar. Valeria was born there in 1857. She was also known by Valeryia or Aolliea. Their children's names were Frank, John, Hellenia, Anna, Frances, Tom, George, Andrew and Mary. They were born starting in the 1890's.
Frank Synar married Adelaide Peterson. Her mother Martina Dobkiewicz and father Joseph Peterson (aka Petrachevitch) were married in 1879. He died and she married Edward Legako (aka Lejeko). The witness at their wedding was Anna Ligiejko of Chicago, Illinois. That also could be the Polish spelling of his name. Martina had a brother Steve and a sister (Mrs. Weinoski), both in Montana. She also had a brother Julian in Pennsylvania. Her brother Joseph and 3 other sisters lived in Poland. Martina settled in Wellston, Oklahoma, after the 1889 Land Run.

Frank and Adelaide Synar had 6 sons: Joe, Stanley, Harry, Steve, Edmond and Valentino. They all served in World War II.

Frank's sister Helen married Edward Roski. They eventually moved to California. Other relatives may be in Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

James K. Synar was with the West Virginia 6th Regiment Infantry Volunteers during the Civil War.

Any information would be appreciated. I will gladly share any information I have.
