My paternal ancestors (like the majority of Smoter’s in the United States),
emigrated from the area surrounding Limanowa which back then was part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. Their relations and ancestral village (today: Piekielko,
Poland) were very easy to trace. My maternal ancestors, on the other hand, were very difficult to trace. They
emigrated from the Suwalki region which was part of the Russian Empire. To
pinpoint their ancestral villages and relations I had 440 Mormon Church (LDS)
birth, death and marriage Church records of Burbas translated or extracted from
Russian/Polish into English. All of the Burba individuals lived in villages
within ten miles of the Roman Catholic Parish Church at Kopciowo (today's
Kapciamiestis Lithuania.). Some of these Burbas immigrated to the Schuylkill
County, Shenandoah PA area around the turn of the 20th century. I also had translated or extracted, 225 Jurgielewicz files from the nearby
parish church of Wizajny (today’s Wizajny Poland). All of the Jurgielewiczes
lived with ten miles of that parish church. Some of them immigrated to NY NY,
Massachusetts or Pittsburg PA. If you are descended from a Burba or a Jurgielewicz who came to America from
Suwalki Russia around the turn of the 20th century, the files below may be of
help to you in tracking your ancestors. The Burbas named in the files lived, for
the most part, within the orange area on the map below. The Jurgielewiczes lived,
for the most part, within the blue area.
