Michaelina Konczakowska [Nobility]

Birth Name Michaelina Konczakowska [Nobility] 1a 2a 3a 3b

    I understand that my grandmother would have lost her family nobility when she married Jacob but she would have assumed Jacobs. This relates to her family. I have come across several variations for the Hrankowski's coat of arms but I am not sure of the right one.

    I have had some enquiries made in Europe and I don't think it's the type of Nobility with castles etc. I think its more the primitive "knight" type, warriors etc.. I do believe they were a higher class than the norm but not "Royalty". - Joe Hanks

Education 1916   Can read and write. Speaks English and Polish.

I remember my grandmother quite well and she did have a very heavy accent in the 1940's and 1950's. I could just imagine how limited it would have been in 1916.

Religion     Anglican

Jacob was a Roman Catholic (Holy Ghost Church) I was told he got mad at them and the whole family converted to Anglicanism. I was raised an Anglican. After I joined the force [R.C.M.P.] , St Barnabus Church in Winnipeg built a new building. My mother donated a pew to my father and Alice [Helena] donated a pew to her husband Joe Kitkoski.

Years later after my mother died I donated a stained glass window to that church in her memory and Alice [Helena] donated a window to the Hankowski family.

Residence 1916 Winnipeg City, Manitoba, Canada 1149 Selkirk Avenue [They bought this small house ?]

If they went broke in the hotel where did they get the money to buy the house.

1149 Selkirk Ave., in Winnipeg. I was raised a block away so I am quite familiar with it. A very small 2 bedroom home for so many in the family (one bathroom) probably long line ups. This property, very old, remained in the family until just before Alice died in 1993. She lived most of her life there.

Narrative

Said to have had 13 Children ?
8 Children on 1916 Canada census.

There were 10 [11] children in the union between Jacob and his wife Michaelina. In my research I have found that for some unknown reason, many of the births in the family were not registered. This caused problems for some of them when they applied for for their old age pensions. Jacob did keep a handwritten record of the children born in Canada, in his passport. I outline what I know about each. I have no idea who supplied the info to the census [1916] taker. I suspect one of the children.
from Joe Hanks, Grand Son.

Narrative

About 10 years ago in my research I made contact with Mike Konczak. He had been researching the Konczakowski family now for 40 years. He traced the family back to Gangus KHAN complete with Coat of Arms that I will forward later.
from Joseph Hanks. Book 6a / E-mails / 13 / page.16 and 16a

Narrative

On the birth certificate of Michal Hrankowski you can see the text in Latin about parents

' uteryne nobiles haeres bonorum "

They were old nobilities family and had property estate.
They were very rich people.
I suppose they sold this property and go to Canada with for example the gold.
