[Posted to the Emigration-Ships Mailing List by Michael Palmer - 16 September 1997] **************************************************** E-mail from rrichard@gfn.org 13/Jan/2003 Hi Bernie Tonight, I looked at a 1915 City Directory. There was a house own by an bakery at 2706 Michigan Ave in 1915. I did find in 1918 a Michael and Rose Sadowski at 2809 Michigan Ave. By 1921, Michael and Rose Sadowski lived at 3613 Grant Ave. [ As my St. John Street ancestors would say " the other side of the tracks, closer to All Saints". ] When I looked in the 1915 under Sadowski, there was a Michael Sadowsky working at Flint Sanitary Can Co. and was boarding at the business. The business was listed at south side of Flushing Rd, west of North Stevenson ( must have been west of Hurley Hospital). ******************** Joseph and Anna Bienia lived with Mike and Rose in this 3613 Grant St. home in 1922. I could not find anything under the surname of Notoray, are you sure the name was not Mitoraj- there was Mitoraj living on Michigan Ave in 1918/1922. Hope this helps. Dzien Dobre! Richard
