Emigration to Chicago, US
« on: Thursday 14 July 22 11:19 BST (UK) »
Hello. Perhaps someone will be able to help. I am looking for a sister ( or her family ) of my great grandmother in Chicago,US.   In the 1923-24's  emigrated to Chicago,US from Dolina,Poland (now Ukraine). Her name was Zofia Leibiniec (Laibiniec/Albiniec). She apparently got married in late 1920's in Chicago to Jurewicz ( first name unknown). She had two sons: Janusz Jurewicz and younger Roman Jurewicz.  She was Polish citizen, roman- catholic born in Dolina in 1905. Unfortunately her birth date might not be precise and she might also used different first name...

There is a tree on Ancestry with a possible hit Sophia Albiniec although the only information on her is a possible birth circa 1897 in Austria. This lady was in the USA before your dates as the eldest son is born in Illinois in 1917. (The 1920 & 1930 census records have this Sophia as born in Austria to Polish parents The 1930 census has an emigration date of 1913)

Her husband is listed as Stanislaw Stanley Anton Jurewicz Juris born 1893 in Lithuania and died in 1989 in Chicago. Two children are also listed Anthony J. Jurweicz Juris & Raymond Juris.

There is a 1951 passenger ??? list.

Husbands name something like Cyany
Also a third son age 11 Andrjej. Or similar.
Janusz is 16 and Roman 14.

Zofia 46 and husband is 49
They are coming from Southampton and address there was the polish hostel,

Added; BUT that is another family. Although everyone has the same names…..

The naturalisation for Cezary is on Ancestry. The 1951 arrival is their immigration as a family.
Children born Poland and Russia. Zofias maiden name is Michalowski

Great. This must be her! I suspected the date that was given to me was wrong but I did not have a proof. But there is still a chance she was married to Stanislaw Stanley Jurewicz in Chicago before 1917.  Are there any scanned documents attached to the ancestry information?

Note: Named changed by order of court to Stanley Juris from Stanislaw Jurewicz

============

Sophie died 24 Mar 1977. The death & cemetery records list the same address,4444 S. Washtenaw Ave., as on the Naturalization cards.

Sophie is listed as divorced on her death record?
