<p>My mother was born May 16, 1888 in Wloclawek, The county or state was Torun in the area of Brzesc Kujawski. Their marriage was "arranged." After my parents married they ran a small tavern or whatever they called it there. Dad was going to come to this country by himself and get settled and send for mother. She would not have any of that - they came together in January [actually July 1909], I believe, steerage. They may have left from Hamburg, Germany, probably via Pottsdam Holland Line. They had ten children.... Six of us grew to adulthood. (from an email to Lauren Pacek from Ellie Pacek, Feb 22, 2007)</p>
