II. ANALYSIS

 

For detailed information click on the names to see their manifest and other data garnered from the manifest. Here is a work in progress of their various relations, until such time as a chart can be made.
First
wave of Wapienniks (1903-1905) —
Wojciech & Tekla were brother and sister, and they arrived in New York bound for Chicago on 4/4/1903. They had another sister, Emilia Wapiennik who arrived in New York bound for Chicago on 2/5/1905. Emilia brought with her Wojciech’s wife, Marya Wapiennik. Marya and brought her and Wojciech’s son. Wojciech and Tekla are the children of Matthew Wapiennik (b. 1846) and Salome Schab (b. 1862).

Second wave of Wapienniks
(1910-1913) —

Weronika Wapiennik came over in 12/10/1910, and lived with a friend. Weronika
indicated she had a mother in Krzyz named Leonora Wapiennik. Jożef and Jożefa, husband and wife, came to NY bound for Chicago on 2/4/1913. They brought with them their children, Marya and Jan Wapiennik indicating they would live with their mother, Leonora Wapiennik, in Chicago. She was originally married to Peter Wapiennik (1860-1902) remarried John Zołądź and arrived immigrated to the United States as Eleonore Zołądź on November 24, 1911. Since Leonora is both the mother of Weronika and Jozef, they must be brother and sister.

Third wave of Wapienniks
(1913-1914) —

Piotr came over on 11/14/1913 to NY and bound for Chicago to live with his Piotr Habel. He indicated he had a wife, Tekla, in Krzyz. Tekla came over about 3 months later on 2/13/14, and brought their two children Stanislaw and Franciszek Wapiennik.

Fourth wave of Wapienniks (1922)

The only person that cannot be accounted for is the US Citizen, Marianna
(or Mary Emilia Wapiennik) who came over on 9/24/1922. She was going to
live in Chicago with Stanislaw Wapiennik in Chicago, who also has no record I
can find.
