Hi! My name is Patricia Stavovy and I have been researching
the Michalek Family tree (maternal branch) for my husband. His
great grandfather, Stanislaus Michalek, came over from Poland and
resided in Pittsburgh during his lifetime. I have researched
and written to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Archives and Records
Center for the family information about births, baptisms, marriages,
deaths and burials.
If you need me to send you the letters verifying the searches they
did for our family names to verify, please advise. I would
like to add the family names that would add to your list of those
buried at St. Adalbert’s according to the Diocese of Pittsburgh
records. I have been advised by Michalek family members that
Stanislaus Michalek’s grave is flat and was up by the
mausoleum. The grass has probably grown over it because we
cannot physically find it, but know he is there. He used to be
the caretaker for St. Adalbert’s Cemetery. Stanislaus
(Stanley) was married two times. His first wife was Anna (nee:
Jozwiak) Michalek. Together they had nine children. Not
all of the nine children and spouses were buried at St. Adalbert’s
Cemetery. You already have Stanley Joseph Michalek and his
wife, Magdalen Stella Warzynska Michalek listed in St.
Adalbert’s Cemetery. Stanislaus Michalek’s second wife
was Anna (nee: Przybylek) Michalek. Together they had three
children.

Thanks for your devotion to recording family members buried in
western Pennsylvania. The Michalek family had one more member,
Peter Paul Michalek, who served in WWI, and is buried
out-of-state. I guess I could post his vitals on the USGenWeb
for the state of Illinois since that is where he is buried.
