Notes
a. Note:   2/17/2001 Visited www.polishroots.org and found notes on "Selected Polish Surnames". The following was found for the surname "Banaszak": Banaszak is a name meaning something like "Ben's son" -- Banach is an old nickname, so to speak, from a variant form of Benedykt, "Benedict", and when the suffix -ak ("son of") was added to it, the guttural sound modified to the "sh" sound of sz: Banach + -ak = Banaszak. As of 1990 there were 5,410 Poles named Banaszak, living all over Poland.
  Apparently "Banaszek" can be translated into English as "Benson".

 Found Marcin Banaszek in 1910 census Illinois, Cook County, Chicago, ED 606, page 30. The address in 1910 was 2346 S. Whipple St. Received letter from Archdiocese of Chicago in response to my inquiry regarding a marriage record for Marcin & Anna Banasek (married 2/02/02). The response indicated an address in 1902 for Marcin Banaszek of 1008 Whipple St. Apparently, there was an address restructuring between 1902 and 1910.
  Chicago Street Address Restructured:
 From http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/timeline/stnumbers.html
 By ordinance of June 22, 1908, and by amendments June 21, 1909, and June 20, 1910, Chicago's street numbering system was revised. The system established two base lines where all numbering began: State Street running north and south and Madison Street, running east and west. 800 numbers were assigned to each mile or 100 numbers to each on-eighth of a mile, and such numbers changed to the next succeeding one hundred at the intersecting street nearest the one-eighth of a mile line. An exception was between Madison Street and 31st Street where 1200 numbers were assigned between Madison Street and 12th Street, 1000 numbers between 12th Street and 22nd Street, and 900 numbers between 22nd Street and 31st Street.
  Even numbers indicated a building on the north or west side of a street, while odd numbers meant a location on the south or the east side of a street. This numbering scheme is still in use.
  1093 Whipple St and 2346 S. Whipple St. refer to the same residence.

 Email from Mary Ann:
 My mother grew up in the house at 2346 S. Whipple St. As she tells it, there were two buildings on that lot. A house in the back was the first, and as the Banaszek kids were born, Grandpa built a house in the front of the lot to accommodate the big family. It had two floors: a sort of basement and a first floor with an inside staircase connecting the two. In the basement was the kitchen, an inside toilet (a big deal in those days), and one bedroom. The second floor had bedrooms. No "parlor" or sitting room - people gathered in the kitchen. Your Dad and Grandpa shared a bedroom on the first floor. (The parents shared rooms with their kids, not with each other.) A bathtub was upstairs .. so water had to be heated on a stove downstairs & carried upstairs. Doubtful this house is still standing, but if it is, this history could be interesting when viewing the property.
  The 2858 S. Tripp Ave. was their last house. They moved in with us from this house. This is where my mother lived when she got married, in 1930.

 9/6/2003
 Visited 1910 residence at 2346 S. Whipple St. Took picture.
  Talked with Aunt Anne. Following are some of her recollections regarding Grandpa B:
 "Banaszek" last name was originally spelled "Banasiak".
  He spoke German and was in the German army. Aunt Anne has seen a picture of him in his uniform with other German soldiers. She doesn't know what happened to the picture. He quit his last job in a huff (Aunt Anne doesn't know why), and never worked again. Shortly afterward, Grandpa & Grandma B. moved in with Aunt Anne and Uncle Casey. Apparently Grandpa B. had quite a temper. He sold off all of their furniture and burned records and photo albums in the furnace before moving in.
 Aunt Anne and Aunt Rose would take turns, as children, walking to the corner tavern to get Grandpa B. a bucket of beer for when he got home from work. He wasn't a heavy drinker, but she does recall a time when he did come home drunk, said "Children, I'm drunk", then went into his bedroom for the rest of the night. Grandpa and Grandma B. didn't seem to get along, and slept in separate bedroom in the 23rd and Whipple house. He slept with Martin, Grandma slept with Aunt Anne and Aunt Rose. Aunt Anne marvels that they had 8 children.
