    Andrew Malinoski Family Notes
    Andrew Malinoski Family Notes
    Obtained from Toni Malinoski Shuster. Note reads...

    This is some information on Andrew Malinowski: He had a brother, Bartek, and a sister but her name is unknown. They were born in Cgylatyce (spelling?), Poland. Andrew at age 22 married Mary Piniaha age 20 in 1907. He served 3 yrs in the Austrian army in Yaroslaw, Dopkowice. He was discharged from the army but was ordered not to leave the country because war was very much talked about. We left on April 15, 1913 and arrived in St Johnsville May 20.

    This is the address from there:

    Bartek Malinowski Family
    Powiat, Dopkowice
    Poczta Boratyn
    Yaroslaw, Poland


    Notes from Brian Abeling: This note has been attached to both the Malinoski and Piniaha families - as the departure and arrival dates to America are significant to both families since the Piniaha and Malinoski families came to the US together on the same ship to the US in 1913.
    Piniaha Birth Certificate from Yaroslaw, Poland
    Piniaha Birth Certificate from Yaroslaw, Poland
    We believe that in 1949, Veronica Piniaha Edwards wrote to Yaroslaw, Poland to request her birth certificate, which was needed for the US Naturalization process.

    It appears that they returned two documents, one which appears to be her birth certificate, and this one, which does not appear to be her's. However, it does appear to information on perhaps another Piniaha child...

    It appears to indicate: Valeria Piniaha, born April 10, 1906. Parents appear to be Tomasz (Thomas) Piniaha and Katherine Yedryka (which are Veronica's parents).

    What we know:

    * This is not Veronica's birth certificate
    * It is not a birth certicate of any of her known siblings, as George is the next youngest and has been idnetified as being born in 1904.

    Perhaps, Thomas and Katherine Piniaha had another child, Valerie or Valeria, born in 1906 - and perhaps she died at a young age, perhaps before the family immigrated to the US in 1913?

    RW & Veronica Edwards
    RW & Veronica Edwards
    Man on the left is RW Edwards and he is holding Mildred Edwards Abeling.
    Woman on the middle left is Veronica Piniaha Edwards
    Woman on the middle right: We have not been able to verify this person, however, some folks believe its Anna Piniaha Battisti (Veronica's older sister), while others believe is Eva Rafun Piniaha, George Piniaha's wife.

    Man on the right has not been confirmed either, but various users have submitted Peter Battisti and also George Piniaha.

    Boy on the right is Raymond Edwards (son of RW and Veronica).

    Man in the back is also unconfirmed, but Tony Korniat has been submitted by one viewer.

    Considering that Raymond Edwards was born in 1924 - and if we estimate that he is 1 or 2 in this photo, the photo's age might be 1925 or 1926, although most likely to be 1925, as RW and Veronica had another child in 1926 and he is not in the photo and Veronica does not appear to be expecting.

    Photos location is unconfirmed, but the Bolter Hill Rd Farm where RW and Veronica lived has been suggested, as the photo does have some similiarities to other photos taken at this location.

      Battisti family on Averill Hill, St. Johnsville, New York
      Several couples chose farming as their life's work. Probably the one best known was the Battisti family on Averill Hill (Mrs. Battisti was a Pinaha) which combined the Polish and Italian heritage. Others were the Moskeys; the Yastremski, the Malinowskis, and the Kardashes
