MY POLISH ROOTS
First I want to introduce you to my
Weisnewsi, Slibowski and Urbanski family tree.
This introduction shows how all three families are related.
John Weisnewski came to America from Prussia
and settled in St. Joseph, Buchanan Co.,Mo.
When he had saved enough money he
sent for Johanna and Martin Urbanski and their children
Mary, Leo and Anna. Later he sent for Anna and
Michael Slibowski and their son, John.
Finally he sent for Frances.
