societies like imperial Russia, soldiering was an
extension of servitude; the delivery of the unfree into
a sacrificial bondage of unlimited term" Simon Schama, The American future: a history, p. 30. |

Felix operated a switcher
to move cars in the Western Avenue Yard. I do not know if
this 1950s photo of a switcher is the type he operated. |

Husband of Mary
(Mroz) Cizewski Father of Felix A. Cizewski Sources: Date of arrival in the U.S.
from 1930 census.
Possible origins of the
Cizewski name:
"Czyzewski comes ultimately from the root czyz, "green finch, siskin," but more directly from a place name such as Czyzewo, Czyzew, etc. -- and there are a lot of those. As of 1990 there were 10,543 Poles named Czyzewski, living all over the country. So I'm afraid it's one of those names that's too common to help much. It can help in one way, however: if you do good research and pin down the part of Poland the family came from, and you notice there's a place called Czyzew or Czyzewo nearby, chances are good that's the particular village the name derived from in your case."
