We originally posted the Tomaszewski Family Tree as a single webpage that grew to contain over 200 printed pages. At that point we decided to restructure the page because it was getting out of hand and taking much too long to download. Part of the results from that effort follow. Should you find errors or omissions, you can still refer to the original webpage.
Kreigh's father, Ray Tomaszewski, founded an accordian band in 1991, with around 40 members, that is still playing, and his mother, Kay Tomaszewski, continued as Secretary and Concertmistress for the group until her death. You can find out more at:

Tomaszewski surname researchers on eGroups. So if you share this name, or are trying to research a Tomaszewski relative, please join us.
We are not quite sure how these all fit in, but they seem to be part of the family (and some have been documented from later research, and appear above).

Please Note: Throughout this genealogy a left handed prefix (1234_____) is a birth; a right handed prefix (_____1234) is a reference from a later relationship event (typically marriage). All references are bolded, and equal numbered left and right handed references (or just plain references - 1234 ) are always the same person. Use your browser's Find button to follow a lineage using the reference numbers (or follow the links on some individuals for pictures, or lines).

Notes:
According to Vital Statistics Record #141 signed by K. A. Kupalski, Burgomeister. The document, in Polish, was found in Harry's photo album (which I have), and my Dad had it translated.
His note, dated 11/6/88, with the document and translation, says this is also where Harry was born. My wife found the forgotten note in our files in 2017 looking for something else, and
gave me a break-thru to my roots that has been a brick wall for decades (I didn't get interested in genealogy until around 1995).

2268_____: Hyronim (Harry) S. Tomaszewski. Born Dec 26, 1895 (Naturalization record, Social Security Death record) but his tombstone
says 1896 (his WWI draft card says Dec 28, 1895 and his WWII draft card says Dec 26, 1890), born in Varshavskaya Parish, Uyest Blonski (Zhirardov) Township, City of Tomashov, Poland
(issue of 3381 ). Naturalized on 10 Sep 1924 in the District Court
for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. First married Frances Kuczwara ( 2269 ) on Jul 1917 at South
Bend, IN. Second married Catherine Paczesny ( 0374 ) on Jun 5, 1934 at St. Joseph, IN. Third married Mae Brugh ( 0375 ), Feb 1, 1964 at South Bend, IN. Died at South Bend,
IN, on Jan 14 (or 15), 1966.
Notes:
Hyronim (Heronim) came to America on the German Ship Graf Waldersee that sailed from Hamburg (with stops at Dover and Boulogne-ser-Mer) on 29 Jul 1905, arriving in New York. The ship manifest does not include the father.
I am told that ...ski represents Polish nobility. A lot of names changed on Ellis Island. Tomaszewski was probably derived from the Baron of Tomashov.
Harry probably came to the Detroit, MI, area. He later moved to South Bend, Indiana. We think he had cousins that came over near the same time that were living elsewhere in Michigan; Marquette, Saginaw, and Ludington are probable locations.
Harry's first wife, and Raymond's mother, died when Raymond was a young child. Harry's second wife died when Raymond was in his fourties; I vaguely remember her and the funeral/wake. Harry's third wife, Mae, outlived him; I remember Mae from Harry's Funeral, which I attended as a child, because her name rhymed with my name (I also think I went to their wedding with my parents).
Harry worked at Wheelabrator and Studabaker. He had been an armed night watchman at one time. Harry was into personal sales marketing ideas as a second job; I remember that he was a Mirro salesman for many years. He always had a deal going. Harry lived across the alley from his Catholic Church and was faithful. Harry thought that a tablespoon full of honey (from the comb, at breakfast), only one shot of whiskey (after supper), and a serving of pickled herring (or sardines, at lunch) each day was the secret to long life.
Harry was a world class pool and billiards master. He had a photograph hanging on his wall of himself playing with 'Minnesota Fats'. At one time he owned a pool hall.
0378_____: Stella Tomaszewski. Born about 1890 (issue of 3381 ) in Russia. Came from Poland via Canada on Sep 30, 1934. Married Frank Miller ( 3608 ) on Jan 18, 1908 at Wayne Co., MI. Married Joe Moment ( 3609 ). Died after 1966, date and place unknown.
Notes:
Harry's obit lists her as a sister. She lived in the Detroit area and had several kids (that were always in trouble, and at least one of them did prison time, according to family lore).
Canadian Immigration records show Joseph Tomaszewski ( 3616 ), in Detroit, was her closest relative. I remember Uncle Joe, who had a coal furnace in the basement that he let me charge.
He had a daughter named June who was a tennis star.
_____2269: Frances Kuczwara. Born Feb 5 or 6, 1896 at South Bend, IN (issue of 2271 ).

Family Lore Tomaszewski's
_____3381: Antoinette Niezgodzki. Born about 1868 (issue of unknown ) in Poland or Germany. Naturalized citizen 13 Sep 1933 at the District Court for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Married Unknown Tomaszewska ( 3380 ). Died 1948 and is buried at St. Joseph Cemetery in South Bend, IN. She was living with Harry in South Bend at the time of the 1940 census.

Notes:
The 1910 census has Marian living in Wyandotte, MI with Felix and Sophie Zlokowski and family. He is listed as a nephew.
3575_____: Stanislawa Tomaszewska. Born around 1890 probably at Garardow, Russia (issue of 3381 ). Date and place of death unknown.
_____2268: Hyronim (Harry) S. Tomaszewski. Born Dec 26, 1895 (Naturalization record, Social Security Death record) but his tombstone says 1896 (his WWI draft card says Dec 28, 1895 and his WWII draft card says Dec 26, 1890), born in Poland or Russia (issue of 3381 ). Naturalized on 10 Sep 1924 in the District Court for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. First married Frances Kuczwara ( 2269 ) on Jul 1917 at South Bend, IN. Second married Catherine Paczesny ( 0374 ) on Jun 5, 1934 at St. Joseph, IN. Third married Mae Brugh ( 0375 ), Feb 1, 1964 at South Bend, IN. Died at South Bend, IN, on Jan 14 (or 15), 1966.
Notes:
Hyronim (Heronim) came to America on the German Ship Graf Waldersee that sailed from Hamburg (with stops at Dover and Boulogne-ser-Mer) on 29 Jul 1905, arriving in New York. The ship manifest does not include the father.
I am told that ...ski represents Polish nobility. A lot of names changed on Ellis Island.
Harry probably came to the Detroit, MI, area. He later moved to South Bend, Indiana. We think he had cousins that came over near the same time that were living elsewhere in Michigan; Marquette, Saginaw, and Ludington are probable locations.
Harry's first wife, and Raymond's mother, died when Raymond was a young child. Harry's second wife died when Raymond was in his fourties; I vaguely remember her and the funeral/wake. Harry's third wife, Mae, outlived him; I remember Mae from Harry's Funeral, which I attended as a child, because her name rhymed with my name (I also think I went to their wedding with my parents).
Harry worked at Wheelabrator and Studabaker. He had been an armed night watchman at one time. Harry was into personal sales marketing ideas as a second job; I remember that he was a Mirro salesman for many years. He always had a deal going. Harry lived across the alley from his Catholic Church and was faithful. Harry thought that a tablespoon full of honey (from the comb, at breakfast), only one shot of whiskey (after supper), and a serving of pickled herring (or sardines, at lunch) each day was the secret to long life.
Harry was a world class pool and billiards master. He had a photograph hanging on his wall of himself playing with 'Minnesota Fats'. At one time he owned a pool hall.
0378_____: Stella Tomaszewski. Born about 1890 (issue of 3381 ) in Russia. Came from Poland via Canada on Sep 30, 1934. Married Frank Miller ( 3608 ) on Jan 18, 1908 at Wayne Co., MI. Married Joe Moment ( 3609 ). Died after 1966, date and place unknown.
Notes:
Harry's obit lists her as a sister. She lived in the Detroit area and had several kids (that were always in trouble, and at least one of them did prison time, according to family lore).
Canadian Immigration records show Joseph Tomaszewski ( 3616 ), in Detroit, was her closest relative. I remember Uncle Joe, who had a coal furnace in the basement that he let me charge.

Harry probably came to the United States with his father, from Poland via Romania, and thru Canada, to the Detroit, MI, area. He later moved to South Bend, Indiana. We think he had cousins that came over near the same time that were living elsewhere in Michigan; Marquette, Saginaw, and Ludington are probable locations.
Harry's first wife, and Raymond's mother, died when Raymond was a young child. Harry's second wife died when Raymond was in his fourties; I vaguely remember her and the funeral/wake.

Canadian Immigration records show Joseph Tomaszewski in Detroit was her closest relative.
Stella appears to have married a Joe Moment and had a son named Richard. The 1930 Census shows Stella living with Joe and son, and step children Frank Miller (born 1909, died 1967), Dorothy Miller (born 1912), Charles (Charlie) Miller (born 1913), Irene Miller (born 1916) and Fred Miller (born 1918).
We think Stella married a Frank Miller, who was born about 1886 in Germany. They also had William (born 1910) and Arthur.

Several mathematical theorem indicate that each person on earth could demonstrate a direct link to any other randomly chosen person on earth using six to eight links, using a friend of a friend of a friend . . . type of connection. This suggests that four to nine more generations of genealogy are needed to make a similar connection between any two randomly choosen people on earth as relatives (I actually think the range must be one higher, but can't prove it yet).
