Welcome This Web
Site is intended to preserve and share the genealogy of the Smerczynski,
Bozek and allied families that include the Gonet and Barnes
surnames. It is a work in progress and is by no means complete. The pertinent
genealogical data on the deceased members of the various families is presented
in the master index and list of surnames. The details of various family
pedigrees, descendancy lines, virtual cemeteries, and photographs will be added
to the site as time goes on.
It took years
to compile the data contained herein and many people have contributed to the
records. Questions about the Smerczynski and Pelczarski families from Ed Pell
provided the impetus for me to become involved in genealogy. Walt Urbanek
shared original Polish vital records that have many common lines between our
families and date back to the 1700's. Emily Magusiak and Cliff Abbott added to
those lines. Helen Bozek Schult and Mary O'Connor Michaud sent notes with
valuable names and dates. Talks with Frank Smerczynski and Charlie
(Smerczynski) Smith, Jr. before they passed away contributed to the history and
the lore. I have been in touch with many other people form all the families
that are tied together. They are too numerous to list here but their
contributions are just as valuable and greatly
appreciated.
I hope more people will come forward so that the lines can be
perpetuated. It goes with out saying that all additions and comments are
welcome. Each and all are welcome to submit more data, add more genealogical
lines, correct erroneous information, and more importantly send photographs.
Photographs can be scanned and returned. Send email to:
