Home Family History Other Golla Families

I will post information about other Golla families (not direct descendants of Joseph and Frances) as I become aware of it.  Please feel fee to contribute whatever information you have!

Please note that the information below is not fully researched, and may contain errors.  Updates will be made as research continues and as more information is discovered.

 

John Golla was born in 8 Nov 1853; immigrated to the United States in 1881, and died 7 Nov 1930 in Alpena, MI.  John lived in Alpena, MI, and is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Alpena MI.  John married Susanna Maliszewski.  Susanna was born in 24 Mar 1850 in Poland, and died 20 Jan 1927 in Alpena, MI.  John Golla is a son of Peter and Veronica Golla, and brother of Joseph Golla.

John and Susanna had the following children:

  • Bernard Frank Golla, born 4 Aug 1876 in Germany, died 7 Aug 1926 in Alpena, MI.  Married Pelagia “Lena” Kubieka (or Krebicke) on 6 Jul 1896.  Lena was the daughter of George and Zuzena (Monechepski) Kubieka.  Children of Bernard and Lena Golla are Gertrude Golla, Clara Golla, Theodore Golla, Anastasia Golla, John Golla, Henry Golla, Frank J. Golla, Irene M. Golla, Clarence B. Golla, Blondina Golla, Victor A. Golla, and Patricia A. Golla.
  • August John Golla, born 16 Jul 1881 in Oil City, PA, died 16 Apr 1947 in Alpena, MI.  Married Stanislava (“Stella”) Bulmanski on 24 Oct 1910.  Stella was the daughter of John and Francis (Pysyrzwska) Bulmanski.  August is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Alpena, MI.  August was sometimes known as Gust or Gustav.  Children of August and Stella Golla are Henry Golla, Gertrude Golla Dowling, Francis Golla, and Clarence B.

  • Sallie Golla, born Dec 1889.

Possible child of John and Susanna:

  • Theresa Golla, born 1896, died 24 Dec 1896; only lived 2 months.  Note: This individual is listed on Findagrave.com in Alpena MI, though I’m not certain this is a daughter of John and Susanna.  John and Susanna would have been in their mid 40’s by this time.  It’s also possible that this was a child of Bernard, who would have been 20 at the time, although he had only been married approximately 3 months.
