MIKE JANKOWSKI, along with his twin brother STANISLAUS, was born September 22, 1861 in a very small hamlet in Poland called Charlub. They were the 4th and 5th children of CONSTANTIN JANKOWSKI and BARBARA FRACKOWIAK. It is believed Mike immigrated to America between 1886 and 1890 to earn some money and lay the groundwork for the rest of the family to come to America. The entire family eventually bought farmland and settled in Rolling, Wisconsin - near Antigo.
On May 26, 1896, Mike married ROSALIA LEWANDOWSKI at St. John's Catholic Church in Menasha, Wisconsin. Rosa was born on March 19, 1865 in Poland to JOHN LEWANDOWSKI and ANNA POLONSKI. She immigrated with her entire family on January 7, 1884. Initially, the Lewandowski's settled in Savannah, Georgia, where Rosa's brother Franz worked in a bakery. But, after only a couple years there, the family moved to Menasha.
Mike and Rosa bought farmland in Rolling, Wisconsin, where they had 6 children, 2 of whom died at very young ages. In addition, they adopted Celia Zielinski, whose parents - John and Catherine - both died at young ages. Lena Jankowski, Mike and Rosa's 3rd child, was born on December 11, 1899.
Rosa died on March 6, 1948 in Menasha. Mike died of old age on September 23, 1956 also in Menasha, Wisconsin - one day after his 95th birthday! Both are buried in St. John's Cemetery in Menasha.
