American, in search of great grandfather

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.

Any other detail?

A Jan Kuzminski was born in Augustow in 1843
Might be his father.

Have you tried to procure his naturalization record?
Would help a lot.

Have you also checked the Census data?

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