BIRTH:
Family celebrated her birthday on 20th of June but birth records from Poland indicated birth was on 7th of June. Was Poland on a different calendar system?

Back in Poland, the Jemiolo family lived in one room house with a river behind it.

IMMIGRATION:
Her daughter, Julia, said that Jadwiga travelled with Lottie Woskowicz's mother (probably Anna ). The manifest is indexed as Jadwiga FEMIOLO. Obvious transcription mistake on the initial of the surname. Port of departure was Bremen, Germany. She arrived on 14 May 1907 at New York City on the ship Prinzess Alice. She was listed as 17 years old (though it looks like a 12, the penmanship for that time put a line through the number 7, so the lighter lower part of the 7 makes it look like a 2), single, occupation= servant. Her destination was her brother Franciszek Jemiolo in Cleveland, Ohio. Her brother's address appears to be 470 Niles or Nilen or Miles Street. Other JEMIOLO names were found listed under FEMIOLO and YEMIOLO.

1. 6. Lawrence M. KAPUSTA  

BIRTH:
Born at home (3705 West 14th St). St. Barbara's school records show her birthdate as Nov 9, 1915 and her baptism date as Nov 15, 1915 which is contrary to the October birth month Julia recognised as her correct month. The card specifies that the date was obtained as a parent's statement, which is understandable since Julia was born at home and the family had probably never applied for a birth certificate.

OCCUPATION:
Employed by The May Co. Department Store and then Higbee's Department Store as a gift wrapper and packer.

RESIDENCES:
Born and raised at 3705 West 14th St. Moved to 3701 West 14th St. (next door above the grocery store run by her father) when she married. Moved to 3618 West 47th when the city took her neighborhood for the Jennings Freeway. After suffering a stroke on Groundhog's Day (Feb 1993), she was sent to a nursing home for recovery and then moved in with her son and daughter-in-law at their home in Elyria, Ohio.

MARRIAGE:
