Biography

Jacob Zalewski migrated from Poland to United States.

Jacob was born December 1863.^[1][2].

He migrated to the US a few years after his brother Frank and his family arrived in 1889.^[3] He arrived on 17 September 1891 aboard the Rhynland.^[4][5]His place of residence of Gottschalk (now Goczalki) matched up with Frank’s.

He arrived as a single man and sometime between arriving and November 1892, he married Pauline Wondkowska.^[2] Their marriage record has not yet been found. Just about every Polish church in Milwaukee has been searched for the record, but no luck. It’s possible that they were married somewhere else.

Jacob passed away in April 1918 at only age 54^[6][7], so I imagine not a lot of information is remembered about him from his descendants. He is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Milwaukee.
