ADDITIONAL NOTES: Thomas and Ursula MODELSKI KUDRON were my great 
grandparents.

Thomas came to the U.S. with his brother-in-law, John KIELISZEK in July 
1906. John was married to Thomas' sister Thecla KUDRON. Thecla did not 
immigrate to the U.S. One of my aunts said that Thecla had a child who 
was not allowed to come to the U.S. because of some illness or 
deformity. Thecla died 19 Apr 1909 in Leki Gorne, Galicia, Austria Poland.

Thomas and John indicated on the ship passenger list they were going to 
be with their brother-in-law Louis SOKOL. Louis was married to Thomas' 
sister Anna KUDRON. Louis and Anna SOKOL and their 3 children immigrated 
to the U.S. about 1897 and lived in Nance and Merrick counties in Nebraska.
