For over 150 years, Milwaukee has been home to a large community of people of Polish descent. The Milwaukee Polonia Project hopes to show the interweaving, intertwining family trees that resulted in this community. It is hoped that, eventually, all the families can be connected to one another. The Milwaukee Polonia Project is also a means to explore our common history and celebrate our shared heritage.

THE ACTUAL DATABASE OF THE TREE IS NOW LOCATED AT THE MILWAUKEE POLONIA PROJECT TREE at Tribal Pages. (We still have much work to do, so don't assume that families are shown completely.) YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSWORD TO ACCESS INFORMATION ON DECEASED INDIVIDUALS.

Featured Profile #35 - Michael Wabiszewski

Michael Wabiszewski (1870 - ?)

The following comes from Memoirs of Milwaukee County, edited by Jerome Anthony Watrous, Western Historical Assoc. 1909, at page 225:


 Note:  It seems unlikely that Michael Wabiszewski married Pauline Dyksnski (or Dykcinski) in 1891.  According to census records, she would have been only about six years old in 1891.  Rather, it appears this couple was actually married in 1903.  Based on the 1900 census, Michael Wabiszewski may have been previously married to a Louise (last name still undiscovered.)

It is not known when Michael Wabiszewski died.  Pauline may have died about October 6, 1930.  It does not appear that they ever had any children.
