My great, great grandfather's American name was Steve Voiten. I know his Polish given name was Stanislaw, but our family records say Woytinkewicz as a last name. I can't find any evidence of that name anywhere, so I'm guessing that family tradition is wrong. How can I find out what his original name was?
Steve Voiten married Julia Havlicek 30 Jan 1894 in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. They homesteaded in Minot North Dakota, and later traded that acreage for a smaller farm in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He died in 1944. I don't know if he changed his own name or he immigrated with other family members. My grandfather was born in 1900 in Minot.
