Bartkoski Family History (Paternal Line). A short, readable history of the Bartkoski paternal line — from today back to the earliest known ancestor in this branch. This focuses on names, dates, places, and a few human details that make the timeline feel alive.
Maurycy “Mawrz” Bartkowski (c. 1770–after 1810)
Maurycy (often written as “Mawrz” in older records) Bartkowski is the earliest confirmed ancestor found so far in this line. He lived in the Löbau (Lubawa) area of West Prussia — a region that is now northern Poland.
- Spouse: Agnes (Agnieszka) Zielińska.
- Known child: Anna Bartkowski, baptized July 26, 1810 in the Löbau (Lubawa) parish.
- Life events: Agnes died in 1810 (likely soon after Anna's birth), and Maurycy likely remarried afterward.
Maurycy's appearance in church records anchors the family's European roots to a specific place:
the Lubawa region of historic Prussia.
Where to Visit in Poland
In older records, you will often see places written as West Prussia or Prussia. Today, these locations are in northern Poland. If you ever want to visit where this line begins, this is the best modern starting point.
- Lubawa (formerly Löbau): The strongest documented anchor for this line in Europe. Map ↗
- Region context: Lubawa is in the Warmian–Masurian area of northern Poland, not far from Iława and Olsztyn. Map ↗
- Good travel hub: Gdańsk (Danzig) is a major nearby city and an easy airport entry point. Map ↗
Tip: If you are searching historical records, try both spellings — Lubawa (Polish)
and Löbau (German).
Ignatius “Ignatz” Bartkoski (d. 1899)
Ignatius (often recorded as Ignatz) Bartkoski is the earliest confirmed ancestor for this branch in the United States. He immigrated from the Prussian/Polish region of Europe and helped establish the family in southwest Missouri, where many Polish Catholic settlers formed the Pulaskifield community.
- Known for: Establishing the immigrant-generation roots of this family line in Missouri.
- Burial: Sts. Peter & Paul Parish Cemetery, Pulaskifield, Missouri.
Earlier European records likely exist for this line in historical Prussia (today northern Poland), but this
page focuses on the most reliably confirmed branch.
Frank Julius Bartkoski (1860–1949)
Frank Julius Bartkoski was born on October 7, 1860 in partitioned Poland/Prussia. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager (around 1875) and settled in the Ozarks of southwest Missouri, where a tight Polish Catholic community was forming.
- Marriage: Married Anna Margaret Ceselski (Ciesielski) in 1885 in Barry County, Missouri.
- Work & movement: Lived in the Pulaskifield area; spent time around Kansas City, Kansas as a laborer; later farmed in Barry County, Missouri.
- Family: Large family (at least 10 children), including Joseph Anthony Bartkoski.
- Burial: Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Cemetery, Pulaskifield, Missouri.
Joseph Anthony Bartkoski (1898–1981)
Joseph Anthony Bartkoski was born on December 17, 1898, in Kansas (likely near the Kansas City area). He later moved to southwest Missouri and lived in Vernon County near Walker.
- Spouse: Gladys Vickers (1910–1996).
- Later life: Lived in Clear Creek Township near Walker, Missouri.
- Burial: Mount Calvary Cemetery, Vernon County, Missouri.
Sylvester “Sam” Bartkoski (1936–2009)
Sylvester “Sam” Bartkoski was born in El Dorado Springs, Missouri on October 17, 1936. He later lived in Kansas and spent his later years in Tonganoxie, Kansas.
- Parents: Joseph Anthony Bartkoski and Gladys (Vickers) Bartkoski.
- Career: Pipefitter; retired in 1995 from Procter & Gamble in Kansas City, Kansas.
- Service: U.S. Navy veteran.
Sam's life bridges the family's older immigrant roots in Missouri with the modern Kansas chapter of the Bartkoski story.
