Research notes I am looking for any past or living relatives of my Polish grandfather, Piotr (Peter) Bury from Domostawa Poland.

He emigrated to the US in 1913 from Domostawa; he turned 18 on the voyage over, born in 1895. He met his half brother Walenty Bury in Youngstown Ohio where he lived the rest of his life.

He never spoke of his family but through a genealogy firm we found out that he had a half sister and half brother (Walenty); he was one of 10 additional children from his father's second wife. 

He never spoke to anyone about his Polish family and never said why he left, only going back to Poland once in 1929.

He married, had a son John, in 1918 and his wife died that year of the flu.

He remarried, the second wife was killed by a bus/trolley car.

His third wife was my grandmother; they had 4 children together, Edward, Michael, Carol and Robert
