Descendants of Andrej Lasecki & Francis Rozmarynowska

Andrej Lasecki b.abt.1821, probably in Cseszewo to my 3rd Great-Grandparents, Martin Lasecki and Franciska Szymanska (sp uncertain).  His parents married 1817 in Legowo, making Andrej one of their eldest.  He was a  day-laborer or a servant at various times. I surmise that since he moved so often, he owned next to nothing and was hired on an as-needed basis by the nobles in the area.

According to online records of the Poznan Project,  on 9 May 1852 in Redgosz,  Andrej married   Franciska (Francis) Rozmarynowska b. 4 Aug 1825, Lekno, Prussia-Poland. Lekno is also north of Wagrowiec; the village is not very far from Czeszewo and the other villages we find Andrej living in.   The family moved around quite a bit as you’ll notice from the birth locations, but they were all in the greater Wagrowiec area.

Francis and Andrej gave birth to 7 children. Thus far we have found 5! Still hunting for two more. Here’s what we know of their children:

1. Jan Lasecki b. 1 Jun 1853 Niemczyn, Kozielsko, Wagrowiec, Poland. He married Magdalena Kaczmarek in Lopienno, 1879.

2.Marianna Lasecki b. 13 Jan 1855 Cseszewo, Poland. She was 26 years old when she emigrated with her parents and Antoni in 1882 on the ship, the Hermann sailing from Bremen to Baltimore. The same time she landed, there is a record for Albert Rybicki, farmer, (last name misspelled in the record) arriving in Baltimore on another ship, the Strassbourg. Family lore states that the two met on the ship, though I think they may have met in Baltimore. We found a marriage –or marriage intention in 1876 Grylewo…..how does this add up? Anyone have a thought to explain this?

At any rate, Marianna and Albert married and had six children while living in Detroit:

John Peter b. 1885 d. 1951

Michael b. 1888 d. 1953

William (Boleslaw) b. 1890 d. 1959

Anthony b. 1891 d. 1943 Married Rosemary Klatt

Steven b. 1892 d. 1967

Josephine Marianna b. 1896
