Teofilia Pacewicz-
Searching for my great grandmother. Born in Papile, Kowna gubernia, Lithuania on November 3rd. 1870. Died on January 2nd, 1960 in the Detroit area. Born to nobility. Came to US as an 18 or 19 yr. old in 1889. Married Joseph Sawicki in 1896 in Sandy Hill, New York. Had two children there in Sandy Hill, Adrian and Marie (sister Danita) They then moved to Superior, Wi and had 6 more children: Anne Satoris (my grandmother), Aurella Barbara (Rella), Wanda Hedwig, Helen Bogimila, Irene Catherine, Thaddeus Marion.
The whole family left Superior around the early 1920’s when my grandmother married my grandfather from Detroit. My questions:
1. She came to the US in 1892. I have been searching for her ship and date of arrival, either coming through Ellis Island or Castle Garden.
2. Why did she always say she was from Poland? Was it because she was “polanized”? In finding out she was actually from Lithuania was a shock! (polish jokes have been a mainstay in our family for generations).
4. She had told her children she went to Lodz University in Poland.
Anyone with any info please contact me.
Thank you,
Robin
