Kammila Murawski was certainly baptized on 4/16 Sep 1877 possibly in Janowo, Poland. Here godparents were certainly Josef Morawski and his wife Rozalia Bukowska. The convincing evidence is the image and translation of Kammila's birth record which states these dates in a logical way.

The related references are enumerated below.

Email from Carol Curry about Kamila’s Birth Record[4] asserts that Kammila Murawski was baptised on 4/16 Sep 1877 in Janowo, Poland. A review of this assertion states:

This email contains an image of the original record via the Polish Genealogical Society and translated by the Genealogy Translations Facebook Group. This is convincing evidence that she was baptized on this date. The location is not clear, could be Janowo or Stara Weis, but reading the record, it appears to be Janowo.

Kamila Morawski's godparents were Josef Morawski and his wife Rozalia Bukowska. A review of this assertion states:

This email contains an image of the original record via the Polish Genealogical Society and translated by the Genealogy Translations Facebook Group. This is convincing evidence that these were her godparents. According to Carol Curry, they were cousins of Kammila's father, but this is not proven.

Evidence of the Birth of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski was probably born 2 Sep 1877 in the Julian Calendar which is 14 Sep 1877 on the Gregorian calendar. The birth recording was witnessed by Josef Morawski and Piotr Szczopkowski. The convincing evidence is the birth record and translation provided by Carol Curry from the Polish Genealogy Society site as translated by the Facebook Genealogy Translations site. The marriage record, with a similar pedigree, supports this birth date. The remaining evidence is less reliable and is not consistent. The earliest reported birth was 1874 and her death certificate claims 1883.

The related references are enumerated below.

Email from Carol Curry about Kamila’s Birth Record[4] asserts that Kamila Morawski was born on 2 / 14 September 1877 at 10am in Stara Weis. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the original record originally from the Polish Genealogy Society website with an undisputed translation from the Genealogy Translations Facebook Group. This is convincing evidence of Kammila's birthdate.

This is an image of the original record via the Polish Genealogy Society with translations by the Genealogy Translation Facebook Group. This is convincing evidence that they were witnesses when the birth was recorded.

Email from Carol Curry with Marriage Record for Leon Sejda and Kammila Murawski[5] asserts that the translation of the original Polish of the marriage record reports that Kamilla Morawska was single, 23 years old and born in Stara Wies Village of Janow Parish. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the original record originally from the Polish Genealogy Society website with an undisputed translation from the Genealogy Translations Facebook Group. The wedding happened on 13 Feb 1901. The age support a birth between 14 Feb 1877 and 13 Feb 1878. This is supporting evidence of her birthdate.

Kammila Sejda on SS Amerika manifest[6] asserts that Kamilla Sada was a 35 year old married female whose occupation was listed as housewife. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the manifest, but there are errors that were later crossed out and corrected. The age was not corrected. She arrived on 8 July 1911, so this indicates a birth between 09 Jul 1875 and 08 Jul 1876, which is a little earlier than the birth record. This is not sufficient to overcome the convincing proof from the birth record.

Henry Sejda Birth Certificate[7] asserts that Emilia Murawsky was a 38 year old housewife born in Austria who lived in Hammond. A review of this assertion states:

This is a reasonably clear image of the birth record. There were clearly some transcription/communication issues given the names, etc on the document. This event took place in October 1913, so a 38 year old would've been born between Oct 1874 and Oct 1875, which is a little before what the birth record reports. This is not succient to overcome the birth record's convincing evidence.

Władysław Boleslaw Sejda Birth Certificate[8] asserts that Kamila Murawska was a 36 year old born in Russian Poland and did Housework. A review of this assertion states:

This is a reasonably clear image of the birth record. This event took place in January 1916, so a 36 year old would've been born in 1879, which is a little later than what the birth record reports. This is not succient to overcome the birth record's convincing evidence.

1920 US Census for Leon Sejda and Family[1] asserts that Kammila Sijda was a 39 year old married white female. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the census and the enumeration date was 1 Jan 1920. The informant is not known, but likely was Kammila or her husband Leon. This would suggest a birthdate in 1880, which is a little later than her more convincing birth record.

1930 US Census for Leon Sejda and Family[2] asserts that Kammila Sejda was a 50 year old married white female born in Poland. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the census and the enumeration date was 1 Apr 1930. The informant is not known, but likely was Kammila or her husband Leon. This would suggest a birthdate between Apr 1879 and Apr 1880, which is a little later than her more convincing birth record.

1940 US Census for Kammila Sejda and Family[3] asserts that Kammila Sejda was a 61 year old white widow who had an 8th grade education. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the census and the enumeration date was 1 Apr 1940. The informant is not known, but likely was Kammila or her husband Leon. This would suggest a birthdate between Apr 1878 and Apr 1879, which is a little later than her more convincing birth record.

Kammila Sejda Death Certificate[9] asserts that Kammila Sejda was born 18 Sep 1883 in Poland and was 76 years old. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of her death certificate and the informant was her son, Stanley Sejda. While a specific date is given, it does not match the more convincing birth record.

Kammila Sejda in Archdiocese of Chicago Cemetery Records[10] asserts that Kammila Sejda was 76 years old when she died. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the index card. The source was probably the same person (son Stanley) as the death certificate. So this does not provide additional evidence.

Murawski-Ploska Family Group Sheet from Carol Curry[11] asserts that Kamila Murawski was born in 1877 in Stara Wies, Mazovia, Poland, married Leon Sejda in 1901 in Krzynowloga Mala, Mazovia, Poland, and died 1 July 1960 in Gary, Lake County, IN from coronary oclusion. A review of this assertion states:

This is the person who provided the birth record, so this family group sheet does not provide additional evidence.

Evidence of the Birth Place of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski was probably born at Stara Weis, Poland. This is documented in the image of the original birth record provided by Carol Curry via the Polish Genealogical Society and translated on the Genealogy Translations Facebook Group. Other records support birth in Poland. The one discrepancy is Henry Sejda's birth record, which lists the birthplace as Austria, but that is probably due to communications issues and/or the fact that part of Poland was in Austria at the time.

The related references are enumerated below.

Email from Carol Curry about Kamila’s Birth Record[4] asserts that Kamila Morawski was born on 2 / 14 September 1877 at 10am in Stara Weis. A review of this assertion states:

Henry Sejda Birth Certificate[7] asserts that Emilia Murawsky was a 38 year old housewife born in Austria who lived in Hammond. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image, but there was clearly communication issues given the names, etc, reported on this death certificate. This is the only place where Austria is reported as a birthplace. Two possible reasons: the communication issues played out in the birthplace as well as the names and/or since parts of Poland was associated with Austria in 1913, they called the birthplace Austria not Russia or Poland. This is not sufficient evidence to overcome the birth record.

Henry Sejda Birth Certificate (1996 Transcript Copy)[12] asserts that Kammila Sejda was born in Austria. A review of this assertion states:

This is a transcription of the birth certificate, but the actual birth certificate has been found so this provides no addition evidence.

Władysław Boleslaw Sejda Birth Certificate[8] asserts that Kamila Murawska was a 36 year old born in Russian Poland and did Housework. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of the original record. The record states "Rus Pol," which probably means Russia Poland. This makes sense since Russia controlled much of Poland at the time. This is supporting evidence to the birth record.

1920 US Census for Leon Sejda and Family[1] asserts that Kammila Sijda and her parents were born in Poland. A review of this assertion states:

The informant on this census was probably Kammila or a family member. This is supporting evidence to the birth record.

1930 US Census for Leon Sejda and Family[2] asserts that Kammila Sejda was a 50 year old married white female born in Poland. A review of this assertion states:

The informant on this census was probably Kammila or a family member. This is supporting evidence to the birth record evidence.

The informant on this census was probably Kammila or a family member. This is supporting evidence to the birth record evidence.

The informant on the death certificate was her son, Stanley Sejda, but he gave an incorrect birthdate. While the birthdate appears correct, it is at best supporting evidence to the birth record.

Murawski-Ploska Family Group Sheet from Carol Curry[11] asserts that Kamila Murawski was born in 1877 in Stara Wies, Mazovia, Poland, married Leon Sejda in 1901 in Krzynowloga Mala, Mazovia, Poland, and died 1 July 1960 in Gary, Lake County, IN from coronary oclusion. A review of this assertion states:

This is the same person who provided Kammila's birth record, so this provides no additional evidence.

20 Aug 1995 Notes from Discussion with Irene and Barbara Sejda[13] asserts that Camilla Murawski was Leon Sejda's wife, was born Poland, and was buried Holy Cross, Calumet City, IL. A review of this assertion states:

Irene Sejda was Kammila's daughter in law and would've known her for almost 20 years. So this is significant supporting evidence that she was born in Poland.

Evidence of the Burial of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski was certainly buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, Calumet City, IL on 5 July 1960. There is a lot of convincing evidence: her death certificate, funeral card, two obituaries and the fact she has a card in the index for this cemetery.

The related references are enumerated below.

Kammila Sejda entry in Find A Grave[17] asserts that Kamila Murawska Sejda was buried at Resurrection Cemetery, Hammond, Lake Co, Indiana. A review of this assertion states:

This is probably the same source, death certificate, but since it is not sourced, it provides no additional evidence.

Evidence that Kammila (Murawski) Sejda is the Child of Domicela Ploska

There were many errors in this entry which appear to have been later corrected, but this part was not. While it clearly states this is her father, it did not spell out the full name. However, when coupled with the birth and marriage records, this is strong supporting evidence.

This is an original record created within hours or days of the death so is convincing evidence of the month and day, but does not explicitly epecify the year.

Murawski-Ploska Family Group Sheet from Carol Curry[11] asserts that Kamila Murawski was born in 1877 in Stara Wies, Mazovia, Poland, married Leon Sejda in 1901 in Krzynowloga Mala, Mazovia, Poland, and died 1 July 1960 in Gary, Lake County, IN from coronary oclusion.

Evidence of the Death Place of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski Sejda certainly died at the Lake County Home, Crown Point, Lake, IN. The convincing evidence is the death certificate supported by three obituaries.

A family group sheet provided by Carol Curry incorrectly provides Gary, IN as the place of death, but this appears to be a misreading of the death certificate.

The related references are enumerated below.

A review of this assertion states:

This is an unsourced family group sheet. It incorrectly provides Gary, IN as the location of death. Looking at the death certificate, the compiler may have misread the residence section of the certificate as the location of death (Gary is provided as the residence). This does not contain enough evidence to dispute the other evidence.

Evidence of the Education of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski probably could read and write. She reported she could read and write on her manifest when she immigrated in 1911 and also in the 1940 U.S. Census.

This is a clear image of the manifest but there are a lot of errors that were later corrected with overwriting.

But when coupled with the 1940 US Census, it supports that she was educated.

1940 US Census for Kammila Sejda and Family[3] asserts that Kammila Sejda was a 61 year old white widow who had an 8th grade education. A review of this assertion states:

This is a clear image of this census and the informant is identified as her son, Stanley Sejda. This is strong evidence that she had some education.

Evidence of the Funeral of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski certainly immigrated to the United States, arriving in New York on the SS Amerika on 8 July 1911. She certainly joined her husband, Leon Sejda, in Hammond Indiana, traveling there by train. She probably arrived with $42. The convincing evidence is the ship's manifest, supported by the 1920 and 1930 US Census. There is no disputing evidence.

This is a clear image of the original manifest. In some places on this entry, the original information was scratched out and replaced with new information. The Author's assessment from other information is that the original, scratched out information, is erroneous and the updated information is correct. However, for this item, the surname "Murawska" is scratched out and replace by "Sada" providing even more evidence that this is, in fact, Kammila Murawski who married Leon Sejda.

Evidence of the Marriage of Leon Sejda and Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

This is a clear image of the original record, but there was clearly communicatons and transcription problems.

This is a transciption made when a birth record was requested in 1996 by the State of Indiana.

Evidence of the Physical Description of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

The related references are enumerated below.

Kammila Sejda on SS Amerika manifest[6] asserts that Kammila Sada was 5 ft 3 in tall with fair complexion, and brown eyes. The hair color is unclear. A review of this assertion states:

The related references are enumerated below.

This is Carol's direct line, so she is probably correct, but she did not provide sourcing information so it is hard to ascertain.

Evidence of the Residence of Kammila (Murawski) Sejda

Kammila Murawski resided in Debe Wielkie, Poland, at the time of her 1901 marriage to Leon Sejda. Kammila and Leon may have lived in Kryznowloga Mala, Poland until he departed. The 1911 manifest claims Kammila lived in Demby, Russia, but there were errors in her entry that call into question the accuracy of this information. Upon arriving in the US, Kammila joined her Husband in Hammond, IN, living there for about 40 years. Starting in 1918, they live at 511 Fields Ave, Hammond, IN which in 1930 or 1931 become 1027 Fields Ave. She lives at this address until at least 1937, but by 1940 has moved to 6944 Columbia Ave, Hammond, IN. At the time of her death, she probably lived with her son Stanley at either 6134 W 9th Ave, Gary, Lake, In or 5900 W. 9th Ave, Gary, Lake, IN. Because the 6134 is given by Stanley on Kammila's death certificate, using that address.

Carol does not provide the source of this information, although it appears to be Wincenty's birth record.
