Pietraszewski (Piet) Family
My connection to the Pieteraszewski family comes from the marriage of Bronisława Konieczny to John Pietraszewski on June 16th, 1915 in Immaculate Conception parish in South Chicago. Bronisława's father was Walenty Konieczny and her mother was Stanisława Broniarczyk. Walenty was killed in a train accident and Stella married Joseph Szociński. That is the connection to my family.
