Thanks to Avotaynu I was directed to this great website:  it is only in Polish but shows how the borders of Poland kept changing - this is important for establishing where our ancestors were really from:  Germany?  When?  Poland?  What period?

Just click on the centuries marked at the bottom and the borders will adapt to the time frame chosen. 

Biezun Kadecki/a Records from Polish State Archives 1877-1902

With the help of Stan Zeidenberg from the Biezun record project from JRI, I received an extensive list of 59 Kadecki records from 1877-1902. I requested those records from the PSA Mlawa, Warsaw and worked with Marta Jaszczyńska who kindly confirmed and copied the records for me. Finally Mark Halpern, from the JRI "help email address," helped me figure where a snafu happened with my request and helped me locate a "missing" 40 pln from the payment to the polish archives. After much waiting and way too many emails, I received 59 Kadecki records on the evening of Rosh Hashanah. I will start posting the records.

Click here for a link to a google excel spreadsheet with for the data that has been translated from the records.

Here is a link for my extracted records for the Kadecki family from Sierpc.

Here is the list that Stan sent me. What's great about the list is that it provides the polish letters from the translated name.

Unknown Kadecki Relatives

img052

img011

img011 taken at the grave of Rachael Leah Kadecki in the early 1930s when my Grandfather Abraham Wolman went back to Biezun and visited his mother's grave. 3 people in that photo are unknown to me.

Of the 3 people in img052, the gentleman looks to be one of the ones in the other photo at the graveside, and the identity of the two girls are unknown as well.

My mother's notes on the back of the img052 photo states all 3 were lost in the camps, but were Kadecki relatives.

Sussman Kadetsky 1905 NYC Census

Sussman Kadetsky (45yo) 1905 Census at 709 Columbus Ave. Living at home were his wife Julia (44yo),Anna (22yo), Benjamin (20yo), Isaac (18yo), Bella (16yo), and Charles (14yo). Also living with them were Harry Soule (32yo) and Jacob (2yo).

Rosenstein and Wolf Kadetzky 1905 NY Census

In the 1905 NY State Census, Joseph (43) and Adel (39) Rosenstein lived at 56 Broome Street with Bertha (18), Sarah (16) and Solly (6). Boarding with them was Adele's brother, Wolf (William) Kadetzky (20). Wolf had resided in the US for 4 years.

Bertha (Rosenstein) and Harry Fleisher Death Certificates

Below are Bertha and Harry Fliesher's death certificates. Bertha was Adele (Kadetsky) Rosenstein's oldest child. Both Bertha and Harry died in their 40s. I noticed that Adele and Joseph Rosenstein's 1930 US Census listed their grandchildren, Irving (14) and Helen (11) as living with them. Now with these death records, I see that both parents passed away shortly before the 1930 census. The 1920 census for the Fleishers lists them as living in North Carolina. The head of the household was Harry, Bertha is listed as the wife and the 2 children Irving and Helen are listed as well. Notice that the mother's maiden name on Bertha's death certificate is not Kadetsky, but there are many other records that indicate that this was Adele's daughter.

Jacob 1871 family burial plot

Ohavey Sedek cemetery, West Roxbury, MA.

Undated photo of Pessia (Kadetsky) Lelonek

My father shared this picture of his grandparents Pessia (Kadetsky) and Izak Majer Lelonek. Likely taken after WW2 in Israel.

Chaim Kadezky 1904 ship manifest

On November 16, 1904, Chaim Kadezky (35 yo and single) arrived at Ellis Island on the Oscar 2. He last resided in Russia. He joined his brother S. Kadetsky living at 709 Columbus Ave, NY.
At that time Sussman Kadetsky lived at 709 Columbus Ave. He lived there from at least 1900 through the 1920s. Sussman's relatinship to the other NY or MA Kadetsky is still unknown. But his siblings his nephews and sister in law all lived in sierpc where Pessia (Kadetsky) Lelonek and Chaskiel Kadetsky lived from 1900 until WW2. So maybe the connection of the families lies in Sierpc. Anyone know?

Mendel Kadetski 12/18/1905 manifest

This the ship manifest for Mendel Kadetski:
On December 18, 1905, Mendel Kadetski (21 yo and single) arrived at Ellis Island on the Petoria. He last resided in Serpec, Russia. He joined his Uncle Sam? Kadecki at 709 Columbus Ave, NY.
Sussman Kadetsky lived at 709 Columbus in the 1900 census through the 1920s when his kids married. Sussman Kadetsky's relationship to the other NY and MA Kadetskys is unknown.

Benjamin Kadeki 1906 ship manifest

This is a Ellis Island ship manifest for Benjamin Kadeki:
Ellis Island Ship Manifest:
On July 14, 1906, Benjamin Kadeki (17 yo and single) arrived at Ellis Island on the Batavia. He last resided in Siepe, Russia. He joined his brother Mendel? Kadecki at (7?)09 Columbus Ave, NY.
Mendel Kadecki had come for Sierpc on 12/18/1905 and resided with his Uncle Sam Kadecki living at 709 Columbus Ave. In the 1900 US Census Sussman/Shmuel Kadetsky lived at 709 Columbus Ave.
Sussman's relationship to other NY or MA Kadetsky's is still unknown.

Heinde Kodetsky Ship Manifest, Sussman Kadetsky's sister-in-law

This is the Ellis Island ship manifest for Hinde Kodetsky and her children.

On May 22, 1907, S. Kadetsky’s sister in law, Heinde Kodetsky (32 yo), arrived at Ellis Island on the Niew Amsterdam. Her last residence was Zajeps, Russia/Poland. She left her husband and traveled with her children Abram (10 yo), Isadek? (8 yo) and Morsch (6 yo). They joined their brother-in-law/uncle S. Kodetsky at 709 Columbus Ave, NY.

Sussman Kadetsky lived at 709 Columbus Ave in the 1900 Census and was living there when he kids got married in the 1910's and 1920's as per his children's marriage records in the NYC Archives. I do not have any other records for Hinde or children and I do not know who her husband was. Many of the Sussman's siblings came from Sierpc, Poland in the early 1900s and I know my Kadetsky's moved to Sierpc from Biezun around the early 1900s, so there is hope that some record will be found connecting the families.

Abram Kadecki and Pessa/Necca Karniszyn marriage record

According to the Biezun PSA archives as found on JRI Poland.
In 1878, Abram Kadecki (Абрам КАДЕЦКИЙ) married Pessa KARNISZYN (Песса КАРНИШИН).

Bloom Census 1900 Newark NJ, Abram and Jacob Kadecki manifest 1904

This is the 1900 Census image for Rachel Bloom (43yo, widowed, head of household b.1/1857) living at 155 Plane St. Newark NJ. Her sons David (19yo b. 7/1880), Joseph (17 yo b. 8/1882) and Manuel (15yo b. 8/1884) were living with her at the time. The three boys were born in New Jersey while Rachel was born in Russia. She immigrated to America in 1880.
There is a ship manifest for Abram and Jacob Kadecki who lived in Biezun who arrived on 11/16/1904. They joined their aunt (cousin is crossed out) R. Bloam at 135? Plane St, Newark NJ.
The exact relationship of Bloom and Kadetsky is still unknown. Rachel Bloom's death certificate or gravestone information would greatly help.
Rachel Bloom 1900 US Census Newark NJ:

Abram and Jacob Kadecki 11/16/1904 Ship Manifest:

Kadetsky Memorial Service held April 17, 1921

Israel/Isidor Kadetsky, seventh son of Abraham Joseph 1879 and Shifra Kaufman, died April 17, 1917 aged 25 and just two years later their fourth son Benjamin H Kadetsky died on April 28, 1919, aged 33. 

The gravestone tells us that Benjamin was married and had children - we have yet to find out who they were.  His marriage record states that Benjamin H. married Ida Kesselman on Feb, 15, 1908 in Boston.  At the time she lived at 32 Poplar Street and he at 4 Fayston street.   Both streets show up in other family records.   Benjamin's profession is given as a Leather Cutter.   His father being a Tailor, possibly they were in business together?

Louis Kadetsky married Sophia Sherman, November 7, 1906

Here we have the wedding announcement of Louis,  the third son of Abraham Joseph 1879 and Shifra Kaufman to Sophia Sherman.  A name that has not yet been placed in the Kadetsky tree appears - Rebecca Kadetsky.  Is she Jake's wife or a newcomer to our research - having a "Miss" in front of her name, seems like she is a "newcomer".

The Ushers were
Isaac K (Louis' older brother)
Benjamin K (Louis' younger brother)
Charles K (Louis' younger brother)
Abraham K (probably cousin, Isaac 1871's son)
Samuel K (probably Abraham K's brother)

Samuel Kadetsky weds Jennie Peretsky on Feb 6, 1906

Ths Samuel is almost certainly the son of Isaac 1871 and Dora Frye.    The best man was probably his brother.

Jake Kadetsky marries Rebecca Wallockstein Aug 23, 1905

Here we have Jake Kadetsky (second son of Abraham Joseph 1879 and Schifra Kaufrman Kadetsky) and Rebecca Wallockstein's wedding announcement, probably from the Jewish Advocate. On August 23, 1905 they got married and, here comes the fun part, the Kadetsky Ushers were:


Louis (Jake's brother) (Steve's gf)

Benjamin (Jake's brother)

Charles (there was a brother by that name too)

Samuel (there was no brother by that name so he must be a cousin. Isaac 1871 had a son called Samuel so that is most likely he, confirming the family relationship, whatever it might be)

Edward (Isaac 1871 also had a son by that name so we reconfirm the family ties.... )

Jack Kadetsky ((Isaac 1871 also had a son by that name so we again reconfirm the family ties.... )

B. Kadetsky (probably Isaac 1871's son Benjamin)

Louis Barkin (ring any bells?)

Samuel Arkin (seems like too much of a coincidence? Arkin/BArkin?)

S.F.Matthews (sound familiar)?

R Rubenstein (sound familiar?

and S. Wasserzug (Simon Waters - Adeline's son)

Jacob Kadetsky and Pauline Baruch - 25th wedding anniversary in 1901

 Here we see Jacob 1871 and his wife Pauline, in 1901 had three daughters at their 25th wedding anniversary celebration, Augusta (Gussie), Fannie (later Porcelain) and Rose (later Kalish). 

The Bloom family from NJ keeps popping up in our Kadetsky research and we will have to find the link to them and the Pennsylvania guests too....
