SOURCE_OF_NAME:
The surname WOZNICKA was provided by family members, however, the death certificates for both Aniela and her sister, Pauline, list the father's name as KENSICKI.

BIRTH:
Date of birth given as July 20, 1854 and her father's name given as Joseph Kesicki on her death certificate.
Census listed her for Aug 1853.

DEATH:
From the Ohio Death Index (Note the mispelled surname):
Name: CZACHERSRKI ANNA I
County Name: CUYAHOGA
Date of Death: 2/6/1918
Volume Number: 2499 Certificate Number: 8434

1. 2. Bertha WITWER, (Witfer)   b. 3 Jun 1882, Poland; d. Feb 1958, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA.

This family is included in the database because Anthony Czacherski lived with them in 1930 and was listed as a "step-father-in-law". At this time, I am unsure of how this relationship fits into the family but wanted to make note of the information in case it becomes important sometime in the future when other facts surface.

MARRIAGE:
Application lists WITWER, BRONISLAU and JAZEPKOWICZ, LADISLAS vol.0047 pg.0294
There is also an application around this same time in history that makes me wonder if this woman could be Bertha's sister?

IMMIGRATION: Arrived 1898 per 1920 census

RESIDENCES: 1920 - 4131 E. 57th St., Cleveland, Ohio

CENSUS:
1920 census has a Michael (63) and Mary (51) Witwer at 332 Beech St., Middleburg, Ohio with a Bertha V. Witwer age 31 living with them. No relationship is shown other than an "X". Not sure what to make of that. Her occupation is listed as a teacher. She was born in Ohio, so this is probably NOT the Bertha in this database.

OBIT:
Name: Josefkowicz, Bertha

In Reply to: Jozefkowicz by: Deborah Beigie-Murphy

to Deborah Beigie-Murphy - I am your mother, Eleanor's, first cousin. Your grandfather, James, is an older brother of my father, Anthony. Your grandfather, Walter Jozefkowicz, spelled his name as Wladislaw, before coming to the U.S. His birthday was 8-11-1879. He married Bertha Witwer, dob 6-3-1882, on 1-18-1901, in St. Casimer's church in Cleveland, OH. They lived, briefly, in Muncie IN, when your grandfather was a little boy. Bertha's birth name was Bernice, but someone at immigration decided she should be Bertha and changed that record. She told me this when I was 10 years old, so I don't doubt it at all. Your grandfather's middle name was Maximillian, do you have that listed? Your Aunt Carol told me that when your cousin, Jimmy, was born. I would like to know what year your Grandmother, Stella was born - I know her birthday was 2-14, because I sent her birthday cards. (That is also your cousin Dawn's birthday. I'm hoping to hear from you).

Sincerely, Toni Lempner

Celia lived on E.71st just north of Fleet Ave. in the 1970's. She is the one whom I interviewed and obtained a lot of family background as she was very familiar with the Wanicki family and had hung around with one of the sisters (Isabel, I think).
