Notes

Elizabeth Malanoski Bailey's mother. Born December 1866 in Russian-controlled Poland (parents' birthplace also listed as Poland Russia per 1900 US Census; specific parish unknown). Married Michael Marian Malanoski in 1884 in Poland (date per FamilySearch sources; 1900 census lists 14 years married, suggesting ~1886 — discrepancy noted). Immigrated to the United States in 1888. Settled in Elmira, Chemung County, New York. Residences: 1900 Elmira Ward 6, Chemung, NY (as 'Eliza Malanosky', age 34, birth Dec 1866, Poland Russia); 1905 Elmira Ward 06, Chemung, NY. Died 19 May 1919 in Elmira, NY (NY State Death Index entry 29716). Buried at Saint Peter and Paul Cemetery, Elmira, Chemung County, NY (FindAGrave memorial #151995906, confirmed 2026-03-31). Her death preceded her husband's second marriage (6 Sep 1919) by approximately 108 days. 12 children with Michael Malanoski: Elizabeth (1886), Jazeski (1888, died in infancy), Malanoski (1890, died in infancy), John Joseph (1891-1967), Zygmunt Stanislaus (1895-1987), Bernard Joe (1896-1964), Felix (1899-deceased), Robert Leo Lady Slaw (1901-1966), Wadlich (1902-deceased), Thomas J. (1903-1970), Stella V. (1907-1981), Stanislaus (1907, died in infancy). FamilySearch PID: GQV3-TQ7 (12 sources). Funeral notice in Elmira Star-Gazette 22 May 1919: service at family home, 1010 North Main Street, Elmira, and at St. Casimir's Polish Catholic Church at 9 a.m. Rev. Joseph A. Balcerak officiated requiem high mass. Pallbearers: Paul Mecraes, Vincent Sobkowski, John Gosiezki, Peter Scarveski, Jacob Droleski, William Schrienski. FamilySearch profile (GQV3-TQ7) confirms no parents listed — Rogowski Polish origins remain unresearched. MARRIAGE DATE CONFLICT: FamilySearch sources give 1884 for Poland marriage; 1900 US Census '14 years married' implies ~1886. The Polish record (1884) is likely more reliable than the census estimate.

Research Leads

• ☐ Find Leokadia Rogowski's parents — no FamilySearch parents listed; search Brzuze/radziejowski Polish parish records for Rogowski births ~1866; Michael Malanowski from Żałe, Brzuze — Leokadia likely from same parish area
• ☐ Search for 1884 marriage record of Marian Malanowski and Leokadia Rogowski in Brzuze/Radziejów area parish registers — would confirm both sets of parents
• ☐ Order Chemung County death certificate for Leokadia Malanoski, died 19 May 1919 — may list parents' names and more specific Polish birthplace
• ☐ MARRIAGE DATE CONFLICT: FamilySearch sources give 1884; 1900 census '14 years married' implies ~1886. Resolve by finding original Poland marriage record
