About Franciszek Frank Galefski

FRANK AND ELIZABETH GALEWSKI - He was born in 1855 in the Pomorze (Pomerania) district of Poland where the family owned a thirty-acre farm. Because of the limited size of the family operation and because of required military service in the Prussian army, Frank and several brothers emigrated to the United States. In 1875 or 1876 Frank joined his Aunt Julia and Uncle John Valinski in Pine Creek, Wis. A year later he came to Ardoch Township where he homesteaded in section 22. In 1880 he married Elizabeth Ruzicka who had been born in 1860 in Oshawa, Ont., Canada, and had just arrived with her homesteading family from Spillville, Iowa. Twelve children were born to the union, but only six reached adulthood. (Walsh Heritage - vol.3)
