Joseph STAVAS
While researching the Bartholomew
BANDUR - Catharina RYBA family who settled in Platte County Nebraska, I
found their daughter Monica / Minnie married a Joseph STAVAS.
Joseph and Minnie's 1930 census listing shows that Joseph immigrated in
1913. I have not yet found Joseph in the 1920 census, but I did
find what I believed might be the Ship Manifest for Joseph, his mother
and sister.

At the time I found this entry I didn't have any concrete information
to indicate this was Joseph's family. I went to an online index
for obituaries published in the Columbus (Nebraska) Telegram newspaper
and did a search for the surname STAVAS. These were the results:

The Obituary Index entry for Sophia shows that her maiden name was
PLACZEK. The ship manifest entry shows that her father's name was
Jan PLATZAC, a phonetic representation of PLACZEK. Sophia gave
her age on the 1914 manifest as 30 years, making her approximate year
of birth as 1884; the Social Security Index gives her year of birth as
1882. Close enough, as most genealogists have often found.
The Obituary Index lists a Caroline STAVAS KRESHA. Karolina, age
1 3/4, daughter of Sophia, was listed on the ship manifest, with a
brother Joseph, age 10. The Social Security Index gives Caroline
KRESHA's date of birth as 25 Nov 1911. Her age is about a year
off between the manifest and the SSDI entry. Again within
reasonable limits.
Joe STAVAS in the Social Security Index was born 10 May 1904.
Josef, age 10, son of Sophia, was listed on the ship manifest, with a
sister Karolina. The age between the ship listing and the SSDI is
right on.

SZALEWSKI
Martin B. SZALEWSKI
The following query was posted to the
Rootsweb list NE-Polish:
Hi List,
I am looking for some details about Martin J. SZALEWSKI, b. 1885 and d.
1956 in Omaha. His father was Mateusz SZALEWSKI (1849-1903) and his
mother was Mary STAFINSKI.
He first married Anastasia "Nastka" KALKOWSKI on 22 Feb 1911 in Ashton,
Sherman County, Nebraska. Nastka died 9 Jun 1929, possibly related to
childbirth, but not necessarily. She had been ill for "some time". I am
trying to find out if there were any children born to Martin and
Nastka, though from family sources no children survived... I am just
wondering if there were any births.
I am also reasonably sure that Martin remarried after Nastka's death.
Does anyone know who his second wife was and if they had any children?
Here are select entries I found in the Omaha City Directories:
Spouses were not listed with heads of households until the
1931 directory.
