Michal & Anna Nykaza 1910 Census

Found this gem today! It was actually really hard to find! I knew both Michal and Anna were in the United States by 1910, but I couldn't find them. That's because they are listed under the Mybeza family.  I can see how the handwriting can be translated that way, but it sure makes it difficult to track people down!

In 1910, the Nykaza family lived at 1274 Augusta St. in Chicago, Illinois.  In the home: Michal age 44, Anna age 37, Frank (Franciszek) age 24, Albert (Wojciech aka George) age 19, Jan age 17, Antonina (Antoinette) age 13, Leokadjia (Eleanor aka Lillian) age 11, Walter age 5 and Boleslaw (William) age 1.  There is also a boarder named Katharine Duda, age 21, who will marry Frank the next year.

Interesting information from the photo...Anna is listed as the mother of 10 children/ 9 living.   But there are seven children listed and three living children not listed. They are Aniela (Nellie), Jozef, and Marjanna.  The three are married, Nellie to Jan Pawelko, Jozef to Katarznya (Kathrine) Cison, and Marjanna to Jozef Koczor. I'm not sure why it says that a child has passed away, it may be true, but in 1910 there are 10 living children.

The census also shows the dates that each of the family members immigrated to the United States.  Michal in 1899, Frank in 1900, Anna and Leokadjia in 1904, Albert in 1906, John and Antonina in 1907.  Walter and Boleslaw were born in Illinois.
