KEEFE, LUSIENSKI, REGAN posted by Ed Lusienski on Monday, January 10, 2000

I am looking for information concerning my G Grandparents, John REGAN (May 4, 1859-Mar 22, 1914) and his wife Mary (Mar 25, 1860-Dec 21, 1920) whose maiden name was probably KEEFE or O'KEEFE. The 1900 census information has them living in Platte Center and indicates that they emigrated from Ireland in about 1887 with at least two daughters, Anna and Nell. Both John and Mary are buried in St. Patrick's Catholic Cemetery. I am particularly interested in information that could tell me where in Ireland they came from. I am also looking for information concerning my G Grandparents, Constance LUSIENSKI (Born April, 1838) and his wife Catherine (born April 1843) whose maiden name was Juskiewic. The 1900 census information has them living in Platte Center and indicates that they emigrated from Poland in about 1884 with at least one daughter Mary. I am particularly interested in finding out where they are buried and from where in Poland they came from. I am also looking for information on Mary LUSIENSKI (Born Dec, 1867), the daughter of Constance and Catherine Lusienski. There was a marriage record dated May 16, 1887, that shows she married Leopold Lasozki (Lasocki or Losocki). In the 1900 census, she is living with her parents Constance and Catherine with three children, Josephine (Born March, 1889), Julia (Born Sep, 1893), and Charlie (Born May, 1897) Lasocki or Losocki, but there is no sign of Leopold. I have not found any information on her or her children past 1900.
