Notes for FRANCES BARTKOWIAK:
Proof of Relationship

I found enough proof to verify that Ignacy Bartkowiak and Frances (Bartkowiak) Szynski  are brother and sister by locating her name on the 1820-1948 Baltimore List.  Frances is listed with her husband Wojciech and about  4 children.  Frances lists Ignacy as her brother and lists 443 Walnut, South Bend, IN as her destination.

Frances arrived in the US in April 1900 on the ship HH Meier out of Bremen, Germany into the Port of Baltimore, Maryland.  She lists her last residence as Posen.  She arrived at the age of 33 years.
