Albert Jankowski, born Adalbertus, was born in Charlub, Posen, Poland on April 6, 1865, and was baptized at the local parish in Mchy on April 9th. He was the 6th child born to Constantin and Barbara Jankowski. At the time of his birth, two of his siblings had previously died. Albert immigrated to America in the year 1890, arriving in New York City on October 23rd.
In Wisconsin, Albert met Kathryn Baraniak. They were married on May 1, 1900 in Antigo, and settled down on a farm in Rolling, WI. Kathryn was 17 years younger than Albert! She had immigrated only a year earlier. It is possible that she also hailed from the Charlub area of Poland. Many Baraniaks have been found in the Charlub area, but it has not been confirmed that Kathryn was from Charlub. If she was, then it is possible that her marriage to Albert had been pre-arranged, or at least that they knew each other from Poland.
Albert and Kathryn had two children: Martha, born on June 3, 1901 and Joseph, born on March 13, 1903. Both were born in Rolling. Kathryn died of pneumonia at a very young age on March 24, 1904. She was only 22 years old, and is buried in Antigo.
Following Kathryn's death, Albert married Mary Antoniewicz on November 9, 1904 in Antigo. If the date of Mary's birth is correct as stated on the 1900 census, she would have been 14 years old at the time of marriage! Albert was 39.
Mary was the eldest of 10 children born to Anton Antoniewicz and Antonia Gronowska. She was born in Poland and immigrated to America at the age of 3 with her mother. The two of them departed Bremen, Germany on the S.S. Saale, and arrived in New York City on October 3, 1893. Mary's father Anton had immigrated previously, arriving in this country in March of 1893.
The 1913 plat map of Rolling, Wisconsin shows that Anton Antoniewicz (Mary's father) was the owner of a tract of land from the original Jankowski homestead. However, I have not been able to determine whether he owned this tract prior to, or subsequent from, his daughter's marriage to Albert.
Albert and Mary had at least four children: Chester, JoAnn, Albert, and Stanley. They may have had others, but I have not found any records to substantiate that.
Albert died in Antigo on February 6, 1919 at the age of 53. He is buried in Queen of Peace Cemetery in Antigo. I have found no records following his death of the whereabouts of Mary and their children. I haven't been able to locate them on either of the 1920 or 1930 censuses.
Mary Antoniewicz Jankowski died on May 9, 1937 in Antigo, and is buried in Queen of Peace cemetery.
