When he remarried and had children with a new wife, inheritance disputes with the new mother caused Stanislaw and his siblings to decide to leave Poland for the promises of America. On February 23rd, 1907, the S.S. Kroonland arrived in New York City from Antwerp, with a 19 year old Stanislaw who stated he was bound for Pittburg Pennsylvania.
