Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Józef Piotr Główka was born on 1 Nov 1893 in Celinów, Mazowsze, Poland (son of Jan Główka and Anna Leoniak); died on 11 Apr 1984 in Melrose, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA; was buried in 1984 in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Medway, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Also Known As: Joseph Peter
    • Cause of Death: Bladder cancer
    • Occupation: Card stripper, woolen mill
    • Occupation: Cobbler, gardener, chicken farmer, textile worker (carder)
    • Occupation: Laborer (WPA waterworks project)
    • Occupation: Mill hand (woolen mill)
    • Religion: Roman Catholic
    • Research Notes: Various records give his birthplace as Celinów, Mińsk Mazowiecki, or Warszawa. It is likely he was born in Celinów, but gave Mińsk Mazowiecki (the nearest town of any size) or Warszawa (the nearest major city) for convenience. Celinów was in the Mińsk, Mazowiecki parish. A Josef Glowka passed through Ellis Island in July 1913, coming from Nowominsk, Russia, which is now Mińsk Mazowiecki, Poland (pronounced “Ma-zo-vyet-ski”) and is located a short distance southeast of Warsaw. It appears he was accompanied by Maryanna Glowka. Perhaps this is his sister. Death certificate gives birthdate of 13 November 1890. WWI Draft Registration gives 1 September 1894. Other records give 1 November 1894. His indexed birth record gives 1893 (with a relatively high record number, meaning late in the year), so I have recorded it as 1 November 1893. 1950 census lists age as 58.

    Notes:

    Arrived in US through Ellis Island just before WWI (1913?). In Warsaw, he worked as a cobbler and as a city park service gardener. Left Poland to get away from a bad political situation (perhaps to avoid conscription). Probably lied about his age when he entered the country (or when he got married).

    Had several siblings, including one sister in Poland and two (?) in US. Known as “Pa.” Had a big vegetable garden. Was fond of blackberry brandy. Name is pronounced “Gloof-ka” in Polish; means “head” or “big head.”

    In 1942, he worked for City Mills in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

    Józef married Katarzyna Ziemba on 11 Jun 1916 in Central Falls, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA. Katarzyna was born on 29 Dec 1899 in Poland; died on 8 Jan 1971 in Bellingham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA; was buried in Jan 1971 in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Medway, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Katarzyna Ziemba was born on 29 Dec 1899 in Poland; died on 8 Jan 1971 in Bellingham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA; was buried in Jan 1971 in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Medway, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Also Known As: Catherine
    • Also Known As: Katie
    • Occupation: Helper, cotton mill
    • Occupation: Home maker
    • Religion: Roman Catholic
    • Research Notes: Joseph Whalen gives name as “Katerina Zieba.” Husband’s death certificate and obituary of son Victor give “Katharzyna Zemba.” Massachusetts Death Index lists Katharzy M. Glowka. Birth certificate of daughter Amelia lists “Katie Zaba.” Social Security Applications and Claims Index entry for son Edward lists surname as “Ziemba.” Obituary of son William gives surname as “Zenbia.” I have chosen to use “Ziemba” as this is the name on her Petition for Naturalization, which she herself would have completed. Joseph Whalen gives birthplace as Kraków, Poland (but not in Kraków proper). Her Naturalization Petition lists Morki (or Marki), Austria. Marki is just northeast of Warsaw, about 40km from the birthplace of her husband. On the other hand, this area was under Russian, rather than Austrian control from before her birth until the end of the WWI. If there was another Marki/Morki in Austrian-controlled Poland (Galicia), I have been unable to find it.

    Notes:

    Before coming to US, lived in a thatched-roof house in dire poverty. Met Joseph Glowka in Fall River (MA/RI) and probably married there. Had relatives there before coming to US. One of her children was a twin, but the other child died at birth.

    Emigrated via Bremen, Germany aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm II, arriving in New York on 23 April 1913.
