Piotr 'Peter' Kaldunski

Peter Kaldunski was born July 23, 1811 in Górki, Kościerzyna, Polska to Marcin Kałduński and Konstancja Lendowska. As far as I can tell none of his brothers or sisters came to the US.

The family came to the United States in August of 1859 on the Ship Donau, with other families who settled Pine Creek.

Unlike some of the other families on the ship they may have gone to Canada, instead of Winona, Minnesota or Dubuque, Iowa in 1860.

Peter (1811) and Julianna Constantia Turzynski (1823) Kaldunski came with their family from Wdzydze Kiszewska region in Poland, parish of Wiele, to the Pine Creek area about 1865. They were blessed with a family of seven children. All the children were born in Wdzydze, Poland except for Joannes and Mary who were born in Pine Creek.

The family was on the 1870 in Trempealeau, Wisconsin with a son born in Canada.

1860 Census connection to Iowa and Winona

In researching a few of the early Pine Creek settlers I knew they were in the United States just prior to the 1860 based on the dates of their children, so I was tracking them down on the 1860 Winona Census which can be quite challenging based on how their last names were transcribed.
I knew that several families came on the ship Donau in August of 1859 from the Lipusz area of Poland, but could not locate all of those families on the Winona Census.

I figured that some of those families just went to different locations after coming to the US and the same ship. After all I didn't know if they came over as a group and happened to all settle in Pine Creek of if they all knew each other from Poland.

In my search for the Frank Eichmann family I was able to happen on the rest in Dubuque,​ Iowa living next to each other. 

I have listed their name as it was transcribed with a link to the census and their full birth or maiden name as I know it and the Polish Parish I have tracked the family back to and the birth as it appears on the 1860 census calculated from their age. I just listed the heads of households mainly husbands and wives and didn’t list the children here, but they can be seen by drilling back to the census link and viewing the census image.
