The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 1 Table of Contents Introduction

This document contains historic addresses of our Gainowski and Pajewski/Page ancestors and is available on Our Pajewski/Page Family Web Pages as part of our Pajewski/Page family history. This listing is restricted to deceased families or members of our Gainowski and Pajewski/Pages family lines. After a number of years in America, the three Pajewski brothers changed their name to Page. This is the reason that the titling is labeled Pajewski/Page For ease of use, the above Table of Contents includes active links along with a simplified genealogy chart to assist in selecting items of interest. Merely touch the line or page number to move to a section of interest. Following are Historical Pajewski/Page Family Addresses for two family surnames that led to our current Jordans all of whom are part of The Pajewski/Page Story. These Addresses begin with the Paul and Elizabeth Pajewski Family of West Prussia, Germany and include some of their descendants. After the Pajewski addresses, the Joseph and Rosa Gainowski Family of West Prussia, Germany is listed. One branch of each family led to our Pajewskis of Chicago and later our Jordans of Chicago. The key families are: 1. The Pajewski Family 2. The Gainowski Family Addresses were obtained from a number of sources including but not limited to Baptism Records, Marriage Records, Census Records, and Death Records, and City Directories. The resulting Address Records listing thus represents a chronology that show when and where various events took place during the lives of our ancestors. The Address Lists are organized around families and thus the various records that are indexed in the above Table of Contents are titled by either the name of a family (husband and wife) or an individual if unmarried including widow, widower. Addresses for husband and wife before marriage can be found with their parents. Included also is a section which provides descriptions and locations of the various cities and neighborhoods associated with our ancestors. Spellings of names and places vary for different records and sometimes individuals changed some part of their names or used nicknames or abbreviations. In the transcriptions that follows, the names are transcribed as they were recorded in the original record source. In order to help preserve our Pajewski family history and to make that history more widely available, Our Pajewski/Page Family Web Pages was created in the early years of the 21st century. While quite successful in its goals, it became clear with the passage of time, that a web site with many hundreds of pages was not easy to print or to electronically download. Thus in the later part of the first decade of the 21st century, I began to compile various categories of information

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 2 Introduction such as Pajewski/Page Family Addresses, Pajewski/Page Family Census Records, Pajewski/Page Genealogy Source Records, and the Pajewski/ Page Stories into pdf documents. Such pdf files will make it easier to download files for preservation on our many computers and they will also allow much easier printing of pages and for studied analysis as desired. As part of this effort, a Pajewski/Page and Gainowski PDF Downloads web page was created. From this page, all currently available pdf’s from Our Pajewski/Page Family Web Pages and out Our Gainowski Family Web Pages can be accessed. You are encouraged to download the various Pajewski/Page and Gainowski pdf files, not only for your own study but to also help preserve for future generations hard to obtain data and information about our common Pajewski, Gainowski and Jordan origins and history. Files are updated every once in a while, and checking about once a year is a reasonable frequency. Version dates are shown at the beginning of the Table of Contents. You may have noted that the current document is quite lengthy and contains information for not only the Pajewski/Pages but also the Gainowskis, Nicolais, Pastwas, and Wogervodkas. While it might have made sense to focus this document on one family or a family line with the same surname, my worry was that there would have been a proliferation of pdf files. Many scattered files and associated updates would make it harder to find and save all the related and connected information. Thus all have been placed within the current file.

Notes 1. The original spelling of Nicolai is uncertain. Variants include Nicolei and Nicolay. The ship's manifest records and the earliest church records in Chicago use Nicolai, but the family appears to have settled on Nicolei after the turn of the 20th century. 2. Veronica was a half sister to Michael, Frank, and John Pajewski. 3. Pajewski is pronounced as Payefskee. See the Pajewski/Page Story for more information. 4. Grandma Elizabeth Jordan thought the "ski" name was possibly from adoptive parents of her parents. See the Pajewski/Page Story Page for more information. 5. Elizabeth M. Jordan (1895), daughter of John and Anna Pajewski and granddaughter of Paul and Elizabeth Pajewski thought Veronica Nicolai was a half sister of Mike, Frank and John Pajewski and that her maiden name was sounded like "Rode". From Veronica's children's baptismal records Veronica's maiden name was found to be spelled as "Rhode. " As a half sister, she had the same mother as Michael, Frank and John Pajewski but a different father. 6. It is thought that Paul and Elizabeth had another son or daughter who immigrated to Michigan. In the 1890s, the only Pajewskis in the Chicago Directory were Frank, Michael and John and all were thought to be our family. On 14 April 1894, a Frank Pajewski was baptized in St. Augustine Parish in Chicago to Andrew and Anna Pajewski. This is the same parish that our Frank, Michael and John were in. Perhaps Andrew is the brother from Michigan. 7. For many years it was thought that Paul Pajewski's wife was named Anna Schmidt. This information was obtained from John Page's (Pajewski's) death certificate. However, both his (1893) and his brother Frank's (1888) marriage registration in the St. Augustine Parish Register indicate that their mother's name was Elizabeth Drosdowski. The script is very clear. Given that the marriage records are earlier and consistent, it is assumed that Elizabeth Drosdowski is their mother. The marriage register for St. Boniface parish for Michaels's 1886 marriage did not name his parent's names. The name Anna Schmidt from the 1951 death record is presumed to be in error. Most likely it was provided by one of the children that did not know the name. 8. All three brothers Pajewski brothers, Michael, Frank and John used the surname Page in America. During December 1926, John and Anna Pajewski formally changed their surname to Page. The Michael

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 38 Gainowski Family Introduction 2. Rosalia Gainowski's maiden name of Wogervodka, possibly Wagervodka was found on her daughter Anna Gainowski's 1893 entry in the St. Augustine Marriage Register to John Pajewski. Other variants found were: 1) Wogerwood, from her daughter Julia Gainowski's 1898 entry in the St. Augustine Marriage Register to Michael Pastwa, 2) Weierwood, from her son John Gainowski's 1902 entry in the St. Augustine Marriage Register to Rosa Karaschefski, 3)Waywood, from Rosalia Gainowski's 1933 Death Certificate, 4) Wiwot, from Anna Pajesksi's 1950 Death Certificate, and 5) Wajwod from the possible Joseph Gainowski and Rosa Wajwod Marriage Record below. 3. Below is a 10 February 2005 marriage extract from Family Search for West Prussia which appears to be our Joseph Gainowski and Rosa Wogervodka. The extract is from an IGI Marriage Record for Gnojau, West Prussia. a. Birth: Joseph Gainowski, 1846, Gnojau, West Prussia (IGI Marriage Record) b. Birth: Rosa Wajwod, 1847, Gnojau, West Prussia (IGI Marriage Record) c. Marriage: Joseph Gainowki and Rosa Wajwod, 7 July 1867, Gnojau, West Prussia (IGI Marriage Record) 4. There are five reasons that this appears to be our Joseph and Rosa Gainowski. a. First the expected date of Joseph's birth is March 1846 and the date indicated is 1846. b. Second his wife's name is known to be Rosa and the record shows it is. c. Third his wife's maiden name was expected to be Wogervodka or some variant and the data shows Rosa Wajwod. Thus the given name is a match and Wajwod is similar to the variants and in particular Waywood from Rosa Gainowski's death certificate. d. Fourth, our Rosa Wogervodka's date of birth is 7 February 1847 and the marriage record indicates 1847. e. Fifth, there is some evidence that the locale for the origins of our Gainowski family was Marienburg, Prussia, now Malbrok, Poland (See 1900 Census Notes for Joseph and Rosa Gainowski for the Soenke family) . Gnojau was in the district of Marienburg, West Prussia and is about 25 miles southeast of Danzig, now Gdansk. 5. While the odds are very strong that the records above are for our family, it would be useful to find Rosa's birth record to verify the date as 7 February 1847. It would also be useful if some of their children could be found born in the same town or in the Marienburg district. One confirm appears to be that daughter Anna was born in Muntau in the District of Marienburg. See John and Anna Pajewsk's

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 39 Gainowski Family Introduction 1930 Census record for Anna's birthplace as Muntua. Given that the marriage extract for 7 July 1867 appears to be our Joseph and Rosa Gainowski, the Overview Genealogy above uses those dates; however it has been colored red pending further verification. 6. Descendants of the Lillian E. Gainowski line believe Joseph Gainowski was adopted and his name originally was Jacob Kohlmann (Coleman). They believe he was orphaned at an early age and adopted by a family named Gainoski. The spelling eventually changed to Geinosky. This doesn't necessarily negate the information on the birth year for Joseph Gainowski in the marriage record but it does indicate that his name on the birth record would be different. 7.

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 48 Pajewski Chicago Voter Registrations City and Neighborhood Locations and Descriptions As follows are descriptions and locations of various cities, towns, and neighborhoods in West Prussia and Illinois connected with the history of our Gainowski and Pajewski/Page families.

West Prussia As follows are text descriptions of towns and locations in West Prussia related to the Gainowski and Pajewski families. Danzig Danzig, now Gdansk Poland was part of Prussian Germany in the early 1800s. Danzig has had a long history of being invaded and controlled by outsiders over the centuries. Danzig was Polish since 1466, but fell to the Russians in 1734. It then became a free city in 1772 but passed to the Prussians in 1793. It was made a free city by Napoleon from 1807-1814 but then reverted to Prussia. In their 1926 Name Change document, John Pajewski and Anna Gainowski indicated they were born in Danzig. However, their 1930 census data indicates that they were born in small towns near Marienburg, which is about 30 miles southeast of Danzig, now Gdansk. Most likely they just used the name of the larger more well known city in that document as their place of birth. Melencz John Pajewski was born in Melencz in the County of Marienburg about 1865. The identification of the exact town came from the 1930 Census for the John and Anna Pajewski/Page Family. In the census it was spelled Melense, which appears to be a phonetic equivalent. Today it is called Miloradz. Muntau Anna Gainowski was born in Muntau in the County of Marienburg on 3 December 1871. The identification of the exact town came from the 1930 Census for the John and Anna Pajewski/Page Family. Today it is called Matowy Wielkie. Gnojau Anna Gainowski's parents, Joseph Gainowski and Rosalia Wogervodka were married in 1867 in Gnojau. This data came from the International Genealogy Index (IGI). Today it is called Gnojewo. The translation of Gnojewo translates to Manureville or Sh--burg. Sounds better when you don't know what it means.

All three towns are within a few miles to the west of Marienburg, today called Malbork. Marienburg is about 30 miles southeast of Danzig. Muntua is the furthest west of the three and Gnojau is directly north of Melencz. Various maps on the web can help pinpoint these small towns. Kartenmeister is one source for obtaining a map of these towns on historic Prussian maps.

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 49 City Descriptions Illinois After their arrival in the USA, the various Abend, Gainowski, Pajewski and Pastwa families headed to the midwestern states. There are a few examples where some spent time in Michigan or Wisconsin, but for the most part they settled and stayed their lives in Illinois and Chicago in particular. Chicago In the mid-to-late 1880s, the Abend, Gainowski, Pajewski and Pastwa families located on the near north side of Chicago and were members of the St. Boniface Parish on Noble Street. Various street names have changed near there over the years, but some that are still the same are Division and Elston. In the early 1890s, the Abend, Gainowski, Nicolai, Pajewski and Pastwa families began moving to the Chicago South Side around 50th and Laflin in the St. Augustine Parish. The location was near the Chicago Stockyards and was known as Back of the Yards. At the time it was a growing area with open land, new houses, and a location on the upwind side of the stockyards.

The Pajewski/Page Story Addresses - 50 City Descriptions City Directories Following is background on various city directories which were used to compile many of the addresses for our families of interest. Chicago Directories The Chicago City Directories list individuals and businesses in Chicago from the years 1839 to 1917 with special Directory editions in 1923 and 1928-1929. These directories, though rather comprehensive, are sometimes incomplete as many times newer immigrants and boarding house roomers were missed. Listings for each individual include name, address and occupation and business names if proprietor. The data were generally collected in the closing months before the year of publication; thus the addresses were sometimes out-of-date by publication since the population was very mobile. The Chicago Public Library and the Newberry Library have most of the Chicago Directories on microfilm. The New York Public Library also has a fairly complete collection of these directories in their original paper form. Microfilms of the Chicago Directories may also be borrowed from various locations on interlibrary loan.
