Stroijk Family Line
Today would be the 140th Birthday of my Paternal Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Stroijk Repinski.
"Lizzie" was born on November 15th, 1878 in the tiny village of Sharon, Portage County, Wisconsin.
Parents
Elizabeth Strojk Repinski was the 1st born child of Jan (John) Stroijk and Mary Kostuch.Jan (John) and Mary both emigrated from Prussia, Poland with their parents when they were children.
They were both from the Gdansk Pomerania area of Prussian Poland.

Jan (John) was a young man of 27 years and Mary was a young lady of 16 years when Elizabeth was born.
