History

Local lore, from the family of Józef Grzegorz Mlodzik Sr. (1842-1920):

  • Mr. Mlodzik also helped build Princeton's present-day church, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. Their oldest daughter was the first woman married in that church. They were very religious people. Even after a hard day's work, a passage from the Bible would be read before they retired. Many a time they would walk to church on Sunday, a distance of four and a half miles, so that their horses could rest after the hard work of the past week.

Families

One of the focuses of this study is to identify the foundational parents of the church, and the major family branches that converged here, where their descendants intermarried. Many of them migrated from what was then Prussia, now Poland, in a fairly tight circle of communities within Kuyavia-Pomerania, Poland and neighboring Wielkopolskie, Poland. Of particular interest is the number of persons who came from what is now Ludomy (see Index of Ludomy profiles), a village said to have about 500 inhabitants.

This One Place Study is supplemented by an index of the profiles of the people buried at the church cemetery, which can be found HERE (WikiTree) and HERE (findagrave).

We have identified the following individuals as the surname originators of the immigrant family lines. Please contact us with any additions or corrections. Deb Langsdorf Gunther
