Frequency of Updates

Current stories may occasionally be updated with new information and a date tag will show the latest date of the various stories. As new stories become available they will be added. Readers may wish to check the What's New page to easily identify when material has been added.

Printing

Some of the stories are too lengthy to be read on-line and you may wish to print rather than reading from the screen. When printing, your browser may allow you to adjust the font and font sizes which are set in your browser's preferences. You may also wish to experiment with your percent reduction command to fit it just right to your page. In the future, a "pdf" version will be available to enable more controlled printing; however, this may be a while since I want to wait until the text settles down and adds and fixes become infrequent.

Related Information

While it's possible to just read the Stories, there is much companion information contained in the Topics Section on Our Pajewski/Page Family home page and also on Our Gainowski Family home page.  Topics include: Address Data, Census Data, Family Overview Pages, Family Charts, Genealogy Source Records and Photos.

Connections

Many readers will most likely be offspring of one of the Pajewski/Page, Nicolai, or Gainowski families. It may be helpful to consult Our Pajewski/Page Family Overview page or Our Gainowski Family Overview page to figure out which family you are from and to learn some of the names and relationships. My purpose was not to create a detailed genealogy of all the offspring, so you may need to do a little research to first work your way back to a couple of original families. If you can't figure it out, drop me a line and I may be able to get you onto the right family.

The key families included in The Pajewski/Page Story are:

  1. The Paul Pajewski and Elizabeth Drosdowski Family: Paul and Elizabeth's children are Michael (1854), Franz (1862) and Johann (1865). Their current offspring number in the hundreds. In addition, Faronica (1849) is the daughter of Elizabeth Drosdowski and a previous husband
