The Lasicki's

First Holy Communion. Walter is sitting in the chair with Richard Lasicki standing. This is approximately 1947.
How precious. The Lasicki Portrait - 1938

A beautiful portrait of Harriet Micalski (Lasicki). No date, but would guess it was her 18th birthday which would be around 1921.

Joseph Lasicki with the men's club. Joe is standing, 2nd from the right. No date but he's greying a bit on the sides so it could be around 1938.

These pictures were taken June 1953 at the graveside of Joseph Lasicki.

Aren't they adorable!?! Walter is on the left and approx 2 years old. Richard is on the right approx 3 years old. There's no date or name on the back of this picture, but I can pick out Dad and Uncle Walter just about anywhere and in any picture! They really loved each other!

And then the little boys grew up to become soldiers! Richard is on the left and was in the Army approx 1951-1952, Walter is on the right and was in the Navy approx 1951-1954. Their father, Joe Lasicki, was very proud of his sons.


This was in an envelope labeled Mom's Favorite Pictures. No date or markings on the back. Approx 1950. Walter, Harriet, Joe, and Richard Lasicki.




This picture was also in the envelope labeled Mom's Favorite Pictures. Here's the future... Margaret Mary (aka: Sissy, Margie, Maggie) Smith (soon-to-be Lasicki), Richard and his mother, Harriet Michalski-Lasicki. There was no markings on the back but the photo was taken approx 1953. Margie is wearing an engagement ring.

Michalski/Golka Family

Antonina Golka

I believe this to be Antonina Golka.
The only notation on this picture is a number from the developing company. The number matches the next picture of her husband, Karl Golka. On the back of Karl's picture is the date July 11, 1938. There's no name to identify either picture. This is all on assumption and comparison to other pictures.
According to the 1940 Immigration application for a "green card" Antonina had several aliases:
Antonina Gesicka (interpreted as Kesicka, and later on became Kesicki)
Antonia Michalski (1st marriage and the surname of Helen and Harriet, her daughters from the first marriage)
Antonina Golka (2nd marriage to Karl Golka)
And then there was the name she used when she traveled to the United States:

Karl Golka

There's only the date on the back of this picture: July 11, 1938.

It appears to be an older man and since this picture was in the same envelope as Antonina's picture, I can only assume that this must be her husband, Karl Golka (Karl was also spelled with a "C").

There's no identity to the little girl. Since these pictures were in the same envelope with other 1938 pictures, they may all have been taken in New Jersey -- probably the town of Linden.

Helen Michalski-Ruminski?
What a beautiful picture of a mother and child. Could this be Helena (Helen) Michalska(i) - aka Helen Ruminska(i) with her first born child? The back of the picture has only a date: May 1924 Could this baby be Frank Ruminski?
Helen is the daughter of Antonina Golka. Also, Helen is the older sister to Harriet Michalska(i). In 1904 Antonina brought Helen (age 11) and Harriet (age 6) to the United States from Lipno (Polka Providence) Poland/Russia

John Romanoski?
The Romanoska(i) family were talented musicians. They had a Polka band and played many a "gig" throughout the Linden, New Jersey area.
John Romanoski purchased the Linden Accordian Shop and not long after renamed it Roman Accordian Shop. The Romanoski name was shortened to Roman. The back of this picture had only the year: 1938

Who are these people?









Okay, so these 2 pictures keep me guessing. Since I found them in the same envelope as the 1938 & 1945-46 pictures, I'm going to guess it's either the Ruminski family or Romanoski family and that the location is in New Jersey. The date on the back of both pictures is April 1, 1945.

Helen & Private George Jindrak, Jr.

Here's the first of many, many pictures of Helen! Helen was the best communicator through letters that gives a great deal of information about the Michalski/ Romanoski/ Lasicki side of the family. The back of the picture has Helen and George's name with the date: October 9, 1943

Who is this?
I think it's too early to be Florence with 2 children. Could this be Harriet Sobozenski-Tokar with her 2 children Richard and Frankie?

Hmmm....

This picture was taken March of 1945.

Florence with her Father

The back of this picture is identified as Florence with her father, Kazimir Ruminski.

The date is April 21, 1946. Probably very close to the Easter season. Florence is the daughter of Helen Ruminski and Kazimir Ruminski. Florence has a brother, Frank Ruminski and sister, Helen (DeNault).

Florence with Great Grandmother This picture is identified as Florence with her great grandmother. I believe that this might be Antonina Golka with Florence. The picture is dated April 21, 1946
