The problem I have is that they changed their name to Lucas when they came to the states, so I have no idea what their original name was in Poland. None of my family knows it either My great great great grandmother's sister lived in Montreal...I have her address even from Border crossing documents that list 2 different last names. . So there are no records that documents them going=g from Europe to the US (other than a couple of Canadian border crossing docs when she went to visit her sister...which is where I got the port of entry and the name of the Ship...since the records were destroy both here and in Germany, I cannot refer to them for information. Grrr) They aren't making this easy to trace hehehe
My Irish ancestors were easy once I found some leads. They are from Rosecommon, Ireland. My great grandfather was pretty well known in Central IL as a founder of a coal mine there. He was a contemporary of the UMW president, and was from the same town in IL as he was, who is responsible for us having an 8 hr work day. Even met a cousin that I didn't previously know as a result.

I had not heard of that kind of stuff being a problem with any genealogical search but Irish, but that makes sense.
