Foster child of Anthony Czacherski. Parents killed in a car accident. Lived with Piotrowski for awhile and also Vincent Wanicki, but Anthony Czacherski had no children so wanted him. Rumor has it that he was only wanted to be a workhand on the farm. Bruno was not yet living with them in 1930 as the census shows only Anthony and his wife. He is not shown in the 1930 census at the Wanicki household, either.

Searched 1930 census index for any Bronislaw or Bruno age about 11 with no success.

Possible parents:
KIEDA, PETRONELLA and GRODZIK, JULIAN 0103 0250 94
[UPDATE -- yes, the above couple are the right ones.]
ZAWADSKI, ROSE and GRODZIK, MICHAEL 0118 0240 19 00
[NOTE -- this is NOT Julius' brother. Michael's death certificate specifies different parents.]

Birth and death dates obtained from SSDI entry for Bruno Czacherski. This is probably my error as there was a Bruno Czacherski elsewhere in the family. Bruno Grozdik may not have changed his name.

DEATH:
GRODZIK JULIUS
County: CUYAHOGA
Date of Death: 9/27/1926
Volume Number: 5143 Certificate Number: 55174
Died from a skull fracture suffered in an auto accident. As a result of his death, their son Bruno was an orphan (his mother having died just one year earlier of Peritonitis). He first lived with Vincent Wanicki but then went to live with Anthony Czacherski and his wife, who had no children and since they owned a farm, Bruno would come in handy as a farmer. How the Czacherski's know Julius or Petronella is unclear. Perhaps they were neighbors or co-workers? The death certificate shows that Julius worked at Farrow Metal Co.. Anthony Czacherski's brother, Frank, worked at Ferrow Enameling. Chances are those are one and the same companies and Frank was instrumental in getting Bruno placed with his brother, Anthony. This is especially relevant because Bruno was said to have lived with the Piotrowski family for awhile and Frank's in-laws were Piotrowski's.
