The family came to in US sometime between 1860 and 1865, possibly 1862 and they were on the 1865 Minnesota State census in Winona under the spelling Chistofski. At this time some of the children were already married and living with their own families.
In 1870 Mathias and Veronica were living in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. I am connecting Mathias and Veronica’s daughter Marianna to Mary Kistowski who married John Wika son of Jacob Wika and Magdalena Palubicka. John was born in about 1829 and came to the US in about 1859 and married Mary Kistowski in about 1863. John and Mary were on the 1870 census under the spelling WICKLY.

Jacob Kistowski born 11 Jul 1839 married Anna Catherine Eichman daughter of Frank Eichman and Catherine Maszk. I didn’t locate Jacob in 1870, but he is listed with his parents in 1880, under the spelling
Jacob KISTOSSTI
