Lawrence Stanley and Juanita Wright Twardzak

Hi,

Well, here I am, another neophyte working on our family's ancestry.
I have been able to gather much information from my parent’s level downward. But, of course, we all know how much simpler that can be than the ancestral portion.
My heritage is Polish (paternal – surname of NAGRABSKI) and Slavish (maternal surname of KEDZUCH). And, to make matters a bit more complicated, my paternal grandfather (ANTHONY) died after siring three children, and Grandmother (ANTONIA GARVACKA) then married ANTHONY TWARDZIAK.
For the maternal side, I have surnames of KEDZUCH and SOPKO to work with.
That’s me.
My wife’s grandparents were named SMITH (maternal) and WRIGHT (paternal), but we have somewhat better records there. In addition, Nita has a linking heritage to American Indians (Cherokee, I believe) and German (via ZIMMERMAN). I believe there may also be an Irish link as well. But, much is yet to be determined.
My ancestors stayed primarily in the northeast – Syracuse, New York and Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Some of Nita’s European ancestors appear to have spent time in Pennsylvania too, before moving to Kansas and Arkansas.
This search is one that Nita, her sister Margaret, and I are looking forward to.
So…anyone out there who feels there may be a connection to any of our ancestors, please feel free to contact me. Any of we three will be happy to work with you.
Thanks in advance,
Larry Twardzak
