My great grandmother Tekla Smuczynska married my great grandfather Anthony Hudy, from Nisko, Poland, on June 3, 1916 in Detroit, Michigan. She died on December 17, 1919. I don't know much more than that. Her birth year is between 1892-1895. His birthdate is July 15th or 31st, 1893, and he died in  July 1975.

I assume you have seen this marriage record ? It gives her parents' names :

You do realize that her surname is mispelled in the marriage record so you may have to look for variations of that surnames when you search records in Poland. It is most likely  to be Smuczenski and there are many of them in Detroit that might her family. https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3ASmuczenski~%20%2Brecord_country%3A%22United%20States%22%20%2Brecord_subcountry%3A%22United%20States%2CMichigan%22

I figured that out eventually. I have that record bookmarked. The mother's name is most likely Ludwika. I've searched at least 10 different variations of the surname. I also found what I believe is her death certificate which lists her husband as John and father as Frank. The death certificate has her age as 27, which doesn't match up with the marriage record.
