I am searching for my great grandfather. His name was Jan Kuzminski Birth date, approximately 1864 his ship passenger records say he was from Augustow Suwalki Russian Empire. I don’t know if that’s where he was born.

He died in Pennsylvania, USA 1926.

Thank you for your help as I greatly appreciate it.

Hello,
Now it is Poland, see the map. Augustow is a town or village to the south of Suwalki.

Perhaps here somebody will help you. It's theme about Suwalki area in Poland.

The geneteka website is excellent for looking for Polish records. Unfortunately, the years 1860-1867 have not yet been catalogued for Augustów. The only Jan Kuźmiński (proper spelling of the last name) is a man born in 1843, but that is 20 years off from your estimate. Did he immigrate to the US on his own or was he married? Often American Staten Island records show the closest relative the person provided. Do you have that? Most likely that would have been a sibling or a parent.
