Dudek / Szopa / Twardzik
Looking for information on the Dudek / Szopa families that immigrated to the US from Poland in the early 1900s. My part of family settled on the far south side of Chicago. My aunt said that some of my grandfather Michael (Michal) Dudek’s relatives were in Michigan. The following is a descendant list from my grandfather Michael (Michal) to me. I don’t know who my grandfather’s parents were. On my Grandmother Caroline Szopa’s line there are Twardzik and Zieminski lines.
