IMMIGRATION: 1903 (per 1920 census)

OBIT: Date noted on back of holy card "In Pious Memory of Maryann Kosinski (nee Jemiolo) of 115 Gibson St., Buffalo, NY. Died November 11, 1963. Services at Corpus Christi Church November 15, 1963. Interment in St. Stanislaus Cemetary Sec Golgotha #3 - Lot 140 - Grave 3"

TODO: Pictures were found of Walter Kosinski wearing a cowboy outfit (looks real) dated Jan 31, 1937 and another of Stanley Kosinski in a First Holy Communion outfit (undated). Were these Maria's children?
UPDATE (Sep 23, 2003) - Yes, an entry in the 1920 census shows Walter and Josephine. Stanley was probably born later.

1. 2. Walter KOSINSKI  
2. 3. Josephine KOSINSKI   b. 7 Aug 1919, Buffalo, New York; d. 1994, Buffalo, New York.

Lived at 115 Gibson Street, Buffalo, New York in early 1930's.
Made her First Holy Communion either in 1929 or 15 Aug 1933. Both dates appear on the back of the communion picture.

Spoke with Danny on 25 Mar 2002. He remarried in 1995. He says that Jadwiga Jemiola and Josephine's mother were cousins but he wasn't positive if Josephine's mother was a Jemiola or a Kolis. Suggested contacting her brother, Stanley, of 1250 Bailey Ave., Buffalo, NY 14206 1-716-896-5543 for more information. I tried calling but got no answer.
