Hi everybody!

Recently once again I began to study my wife's ancestry. Equally it concerns my son!
My wife had (and maybe still has) distant relatives in the US.
The story is that her great great grandfather and great great grandmother immigrated to the USA from Poland.
They had 6 children (see attached pictures): 5 sons and a daughter Olga.
All sons have returned in the USSR and lived in various city. John is one of them gave birth to my father in law.
But what happened with Olga who stayed in the USA?
As far as we know she married John Jaskowiak (1909–1972), they had three girls:
1) Dolores Jaskowiak was born on February 4, 1933, in New Jersey. She had one child with Johnny Abraham Ramsey. She died on July 22, 1997, in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at the age of 64;
2) Diana Jackowiak was born 1938;
3) Unknown

Olga died on June 16, 1996, in Marlboro, New Jersey, at the age of 82.

I even found her grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154431099/dolores-mary-ramsey
And found a house where they lived in 1940 https://goo.gl/maps/HXDAiiQAZLmPqnpY7

Dear america fellows, could you please suggest me where can I find more information on Olga relatives?

Hi Dmitry,

Ah...you’ve been bitten by the genealogy bug! It’s fun, isn’t it?    I’ve been doing this for six years now and I will definitely take a look and see what I can find out.

Thanks, Kelly!

You're right, it is very interesting and can eat all your free time :-D

Though I became interested in my ancestry a dozen years ago, I'm not so often collect information.
When I buy a very nice PC program "Agelong Tree" from genery.com and got married,
I found a huge lack of information not only on my relatives, but on my wife's too.
And also it happened that my wife's ancestry is much more interesting

Dmitry, I found a funeral notice and obituary for Olga Jaskowiak. The information you have in her Ancestry LifeStory shows that she was born in Russia but I’m pretty sure she was born in South River, NJ. Do you have an Ancestry account now? I’d be happy to do some more research if you don’t.

It’s a coincidence that the newspaper these were in, The Central New Jersey Home News, happens to be one that my late cousin worked for.

Wow! Thank you, Kelly! Very interesting! I mean now I know the name of the third daugther and amount of grandchildren. I wish I had info on these people.

About where Olga was born I agree with you.
I have an Ancestry account (trial until 14th of Nov.), and I got many info from it. Maybe I don't know something, and can't get more from Ancestry?

Indeed!
