- Catherina was born on 23 Sep 1876 in Krauszow house 76. She had an illegitimate son named Joannes (John) in 1898, but he died as an infant. Also, I am not certain, but I think that Catherina married a man named Rysz in Ludzmierz, perhaps between 1898 and 1905. Most likely, he died sometime between 1900-1905. If this is true, then I believe that I found her US immigration record as Katarzyna Rysz, leaving Antwerp for New York (Ellis Island) from 20-31 May 1905 on the SS Zeeland. She was going to see her friend Josef Zdebski at 707 17th St in Chicago. Catherina and her sister Anna were in a photo circa 1903, probably just before they left for America
