Margaret: Felix Buza

My husband's grandfather, Felix Buza, came from Poland, Warsaw area and his mother was Frances Richter. We know little about the family and only have the information of those born in America. Felix had a brother, Mike, as sister Josephine, Patricia, and another brother, Frank. Josephine married Antoni Sobieski in IL. Felix married Florence Zmudzinski in Pittsburgh. Some of the family spelled the name with a double Z, Buzza.

Margaret: Re: Felix Buza

The town I have for Josephine Buza, Felix's sister is Lipwa, Warsaw, Poland. So, I am assuming that Felix is from the same area. She was 12 years younger though, so the family could have moved.

Zlatica : Re: Felix Buza

No village named Lipwa in Poland. It can be Lipowa which makes much better sense or Lipa. Use www.pilot.pl or www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm
There were people coming thru Ellis Island from Lipowa but no BUZAs.

Zlatica : Re: Felix Buza

A town/spelling Maliszewa does show up North of Warszawa / Warsaw.
Using One Step to locate an EI manifest there were 4 people from a town Maliszewa. www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html
The LDS-Mormons website is not listing church records of Maliszewa but than it does look like a small village and the records could be with the neighboring village.

Zlatica : Re: Felix Buza

Knowing that Polish alphabet has no V, I did not check for spelling Maliszeva. Sure enough, there were BUZAs: Josefa/Josephine, Pelagia and Piotr / Peter from Maliszeva.

Margaret: Re: Felix Buza

I had checked Ellis Island before and found a Buza from Racinucek and we think that it is Felix, my husband's grandfather. We were told that he came here, then went back and then returned again. We think that the Piotr is a cousin or a brother to Felix and see that he was married and he came with Josefa who is Felix's sister that married Anthoni Sobieski. There were other relatives that came, but we aren't sure of the names. There was a sister, Patricia, brothers Mike and Frank. The only ones talked about were Josefa, and Patricia who I think died young. I think Mike spelled his name Buzza and stayed in Pittsburgh area. I know nothing about Frank.

Zlatica: Re: Felix Buza

Margaret

The extra Z was added just so the name, when pronounced comes out sounding the "Polish" way. Just a speculation.
The best thing to do is to try to confirm that this is your ancestor Felix. If he was naturalized citizen or had social security numbers than those forms would have a place of birth. Felix was going to a brother Jan BUZA. Take a look in http://linktoyourroots.hamburg.de since Buza.., Josefa, Pelagia and Piotr departed from Hamburg. There is a Felix who possibly is your Felix. Do you have a KAMIENKI/KAMICUKI (sp?) name in your family name? That person was a cousin to Jan Buza. No Racinucek (that spelling ) in Poland. Possible a misspelled or no longer in existance village.

Glenn Hill: Buza family in America, Arkansas

I have just found out that my Mother`s family traces back to the name of Josephine BUZA, in one of the branches.

Her Birth: Oct. 23, 1842 in Ark.
Her Death: Jan. 17, 1907 in Bangs, Tx.,Clear Creek Cem.

Her parents were:
Father: Charles BUZA b: in Ark.
Mother: Kayzar MCCOY b: in Okla. ( this is a really odd first name I have not seen before, could it be Hungarian as well ?? )

No dates for either of these, but the note I saw on the one tree showing them, said that Charles was French, but it looks like he was Hungarian instead!

If anyone in their research shows a link with these names, please let me know! My family is getting more interesting all the time. i think it would be interesting to trace parts of my roots to Hungarian ones .

Thanks ! Glenn Hill Phoenix, Oregon USA

mjbuza: Re: Felix Buza

These could possibly be our relatives. We have found out that Josef Buza and Frances Richter had about 22 children and lived in Wojew,Warszowa, Poland, and Mieszawa. Felix and Michael came to America and married and became citizens, they say that Piotr came with his wife, Pelagia and later returned to Poland. We know that a Piotr came back in 1912 and was a Godparent to some Ciotuszynski children in Buffalo, New York and later Joined Haller's Army to fight for Poland in France. We don't know if he is our grandfather's brother or a cousin. He was from the same town in Poland. There was also a Veronica and a Victoria, a Katarzyna, and they all married Celmer's or Selmer. We are wondering if there was a Julianne. Josephine came to American and married Antoni Sobieski and lived in IL. Frank stayed in Europe and either died in Poland or Romania. There was a Patricia that died as a baby. I have a friend that is researching the Buza name also. Her great grandmother was Julianne. So, if you have any history other than the cemetery names, we would be glad to know of it. There are many Buza family members working on our family history and we have hit a brick wall. We are also researching in Ancestry.com, if you have access to that.

We are still searching and now have a Julianna or Julia Buza that could be related as she is from the same town. She is related to a Piotr Buze who said he was born in Ciechocinek dist. Raciazek, Country Nieszawski, prov. Warszawa and he was visiting his sister Marta Ciotrisinska in 1917 and joined Haller's Army. His wife's name was Josefa.

However, many of the Buza families have a Felix and we could all be cousins. Someday we will all find the connections.

Marriage took place in Woluszewo. Szymon Buchalski/Buze/Buza was Julianna's father....her mother was Marianna Swieczkowski who were farmers in Woluszewo.

june papaccio: Re: Felix Buza

My grandmother's name was Veronica Richter Buza, and my grandfather's name was Stanley (Stanislaus) Celmer. They came here from Poland (Russia) sometime around 1895. They settled in Pennsylvania (Cairnbrook) near Johnstown. I have photographs of them together. I know her brother's name is Felix. I was told by my aunt that the buza family came from the border of Austria, and that they had a big show factory. When the Russians invaded they sent them to Poland to a work camp, where she met her husband Stanley.

Margaret J Buza: Re: Felix Buza

Hi, Rita has filled me in on the obit you had for Veronica, who was my father in law's aunt. I am very happy to have that information. It conflicted with what other cousins had told me and I sent the information on to Conrad Bryan (changed name from Buza. He is the son of Stephen Buzza, who is the son of Michael Buzza, who is the son of Josef Buze and Frances Richter. My husband's grandfather, Felix is Veronica's brother and we were told there were 16 children raised and 22 born of Josef and Frances. Charles Sobieski, son of Josephine Buze Sobieski just died this year and he told us of the children, but we don't have all the names. Jennie Lewicki, now deceased, wrote a lot down and her grand daughter sent the information to me. So, anything you have to ad would be greatly appreciated.

June, do you know the town on the Austrian Border? My father in law used to talk about Buze/Buza being a Hungarian name and some of the relatives say the name was once Bulchalski and I am trying to figure this all out. If you knew Jenny Lewicki, daughter of Michael H. Buze, she mentions the Buchalski name and in some records Buchalski is crossed out and Buze is written in. Also, Conrad Buze mentioned the story of the name change. He is the son of Stephen who was, also, Michael's son.
