Homesteader Joe Adamski


Like many Poles, Joe Adamski wanted to own property. His Federal Land Patent is indexed on the website maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) Records: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/

After reviewing the online document his packet was ordered from the National Archives. The current cost to receive copies is $40.00. The packet arrived within two weeks.
The packet includes newspaper notices as required by law listing the settler Joe Adamski and his witnesses: Gus Fromholz, Paul Kratt, Anton Kowalski (Joe's brother in law) and John Piaskey, all of Calumet.
The packet has been scanned and put online. Please see:
