Many of the Kolodziejski's from the Przeradowo area are children of Peter (Piotr) Kolodziejski (who died about 1906)
and Catherine (Katarzyna) Osowiecki (who died about 1924). At least two are children of
Jozef
Kolodziejski and Elzbieta Siemborski. One was a descendant of Ignacy Kolodziejski
and Joanna Pidal. (It is suspected that Piotr, Jozef, and Ignacy
were brothers.) Piotr and Katarzyna are known to have been in Shenandoah, PA from at least 1899
and were members of the St. Stanislaus R.C. Church at the corner of Cherry and
West Streets in
Shenandoah, PA. The following pictures were taken about 1906.
Peter Kolodziejski died in a mining accident and then not much later his son
(believed to be named John) also died in a mining accident. Peter's widow
Catherine is shown in both along with their children. (Click on the images
