LEGUTKO: Mapped! LEGUTKO people found on Facebook have been mapped onto a Google map to see where they are all from. There is a BIG family that hails out of Poland (of course) that came to Pennsylvania and spread out. A large number of children for multiple generations created a large number of living descendants from the immigrant ancestor, many are on Facebook. Each placemark links to the person's Facebook page. This, of course, does NOT include female LEGUTKOs who have married and are on Facebook with a married name. If you'd like to be added, please let me know!
Thanks to everyone that I have contacted recently to add information so that I can create family groups. I'll work on creating charts so you can see where you fit in, if there's a big family of information. I've been able to merge a lot of the Facebook information with data that is available on Ancestry.com. Thanks to those who have entered date there that I have been able to glean, as well as the public records that fill in many of the leaves on the tree!
Also found scattered around are LEGUTKO family members in
Australia
Canada,
Czech Republic
England
France
Germany
Ireland
And in the U.S.A.:
Delaware
Florida
Michigan
Minnesota
New Jersey
New York
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin
This map is NOT visible to the general public. If you are interested in seeing the scatter, send a request and I'll send the link.
I have been able to gather from various records the following towns that LEGUTKO families have come from. The trip in spring will start off with a search of the records of these towns. However, I won't be able to connect YOUR family unless I can get your line back before 1900. The records are NOT available due to the "100 year restriction" on most vital records.
Krakow, Poland
Nowy Sacz, Poland
Brzesko, Poland
Bielowice, Poland
Legnica, Poland
Okocim, Poland
Siemiechow, Poland
Stary Wisnicz, Poland
Bojrsha Gribo, Poland
Next I'll be tackling LEGUTKI.
