I'm looking for a Jan Borawski from Witynie, Jedwabne, Łomża, Poland (probably under Russia or Russia Poland) that came to America between 1850 and 1930. His wife was Balbina Chrostowska and I know he came back from America. I don't know where he stayed in America though. His ethnicity was Polish and i think he sailed alone, but I'm not sure.

  1. There are many Jan BORAWSKIS on ancestry.com, but I did spot one who was from Lomza, although the transcription is 'Lomze'.  Also, when I clicked on Household Members, there were 4 other hits.

    Maybe the additional names will prove meaningful to you and if so, this can determine if this is the correct Jan.

  2. Start with the Ellis Island organization website in New York City. You do not say where he may have arrived in the U.S. I'm assuming NYC. I'm not sure of the years, but you might try the CastleGarden website or the ISTG (Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild) via rootsweb home page.
