• Census: 23 Jul 1860, Bexar Co., Texas
• Census: 1 Jun 1870, Bexar Co., Texas
• Census: 1 Jun 1880, Wilson Co., Texas
• Census: 1 Jun 1900, Bexar Co., Texas

Notes:

While there is no direct evidence, it is likely that Albina Winkler (also shown as Lucinda and Luduwika Winkler) was the daughter of Sebastian Roswadowski.
1. Roswadowski/Rozwadowski is a unique surname in Texas with only 2-3 Roswadowski/Rozwadowski families in Texas during this time period.
2. Sebastian Roswadowsky had a daughter between a son name Franz/Frank and another daughter named Johanna/Anna/Annie who was called at various times Ludwine/Alvina/Abina. The family lived in both San Antonio and St. Hedwig, both in Bexar Co., Texas.
3 This daughter Ludwine/Alvina/Abina Roswadowsky appears to have been born in 1852 or 1853 according to the 1855 ship manifest and the 1860 census. While the 1870 census does not agree with an 1852 birth, the 1870 census has inconsistent ages for the entire family.
4. The marriage records for August Winkler clearly show his bride to be Albina/Albinam Rozwadoski/Rozwadowska. Unfortunately, the records do not include parents for the bride.
A notation of (26) might indicate an age for the bride which would imply a birth in 1851 or 1852. The marriage took place in St. Hedwig with the marriage license from Bexar County.
5. The 1900 census record shows that Lucinda and August were married 22 years. This matches the marriage record found for the couple where her name was listed as "Albina/Albinam" and also rules out that August married someone else. Also, her death record is listed as Luduwika Winkler. So the wife of August Winkler was know as Albine, Lucinda, and Luduwika Winkler.
6. The 1880 and the death record indicate that Mrs. Winkler was born about 1852. The 1900 census is inconsistent with the other two records. One possible explanation is that she might have answered that she was 47 when the enumerator asked her what year she was born. It might have then been recorded that she was born in 1847. She could have stated she was about 2 when her family came to Texas so the enumerator may have added 1847+2=1849. An age of 47 in 1900 would have been consistent with a birth in 1852 and immigration in 1854/1855.
7. In conclusion, there appears to have been a daughter to Sebastian Roswadowski who went by the names of Ludwine/Alvina/Abina and was born about 1852. August Winkler's wife was known by the similar names of Lucinda/Luduwika/Albine, had a maiden name of Rozwadoski was also born about 1852. Both were in Bexar County in the St. Hedwig area. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a high likelihood that these individuals were the same person.

Notes:

BIRTH-PLACE: The birthplace of the Frank was probably in or near Bytom Poland. Frank's Declaration of Intention describes his birth and last foreign residence as Freikorten (Frei Korten ?), Germany. But towns with these names have not been located in Silesia (Schlesien in German). The Hamburg Passenger List has his residence as Reuthen, Schlesien. A town by the name of Reuthen has not been located in Silesia. Frank's Death Certificate states that Frank's father John was born in Bytom Poland. The Polish town of Bytom in Silesia is called Beuthen in German. Bytom is also near several mines including silver, lead, copper, and coal. With the family legend of Frank being a miner and the similarity between the German name of Beuthen (for Bytom) and Reuthen, the evidence seems to indicate that the birthplace of Frank was in or around Bytom Poland.

BIOGRAPHY: At the 1994 Pawlik reunion, Joy Hahn of Cuero TX and Elsie Deloris Allen of Tyler TX told the story that Frank Pawlik was a miner (Coal?) before coming to Texas. Elsie also stated that the family lived near the border. First the family was required to give up their guns to German solders. Later they were forced to speak only German instead of Polish. Upon this restriction, Mary stated it was time for the family to leave. The Hamburg Passenger Lists state that Frank, Maria, Teofel, and Gertrude left Hamburg Germany for New York on 25 Sep 1890 on the vessel "Columbia". The family arrived in the port of Galveston on or about 15 Nov 1890. According to Sylvia Hadamek and the HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE OF LIVE OAK COUNTY TEXAS, Frank and his family settled first in Panna Maria, TX and latter in Cuero, TX. Cuero was largely German at the time. Frank rarely went to town, letting his wife Mary do the shopping since she could speak both English and German. In 1919, Frank moved with his five yonger children to Block A, near George West, Live Oak Co., TX in 1919 to farm 337 acres. Frank's Declaration of Intention (Naturalization) Record describes him as having fair complexion, height of 5 feet 6 inches, weight 120 pounds, grey hair (he was 66 years old at the time), and blue eyes.

PLACE: Beuthen, Kreise Beuthen, County Oppeln, State Silesia, Prussia is now Bytom, State Katowice, Poland.
