Lusty Men...

     Well, that is an assumption, but I was looking over the Bulera brothers today and between them they had 33 children!  That is beyond good Catholic!
     Our ancestor is Frank M. Bulera.  He was married twice.  His first wife was Franciska Bauza.  They were married in 1884 in Poland and emigrated on 12 Mar 1884, leaving Hamburg and arriving in New York on 27 Mar 1884.

Hamburg Ship List, The Moravia, departed 12 Mar 1884

Buleras in the 1885 Census, St. Paul

They were in the Minnesota State Census in 1885 in St. Paul, Ward 4.
         Frank and Franciska had 4 known children: Joseph, George F. (Adalbert), John Walter (Wadge), and John.  Joseph must have died as an infant.  He was born on 5 Feb 1885 but does not appear with the parents in the 1885 census which was enumerated in May. George and John W. (sometime recorded as Walter) both grew to adulthood.  No record beyond the baptismal record in  July, 1889 is found for the 2nd John. It is likely that Franciska died after childbirth.
     Frank and Stanislava (Stella) married on 29 April 1890.  They had 15 children! I have written previously about how much fun it was figuring out Stella's maiden name.  Almost every kid had a different rendition of Lazewski or a hybrid of Lazewski and Strzyrzewski. Here goes:  Sophia, Rose, Martha, Bernice, Mary Ann, John, Franz (Frankie), Andrew, Teresa, Marion (Mike), Margaret, Julia, Valentina (Viola), Leonard and Florian. Whew!
     Frank's brother Joseph and his wife Salomea had 14 children according to the 1910 census.  I have only found 13 records.  It seems that at least 9 of these children died as infants.  Some were unnamed in the records. Joseph and Salomea Nadohy were married on 12 Aug 1891 at St. Adalbert's in St. Paul. There is some confusion about her last name as well, but I am using the name that appeared in the marriage record.
According to the Poznan Marriage Project, he was previously married as well.  His first wife was Appolina Jurek.  She must have died before Joseph emigrated.
     On the 2nd marriage records for both Frank and Joseph, their parents names are given as Valentin and Catherine.  There is a marriage record on the Posen site for them as well.  They were married in 1853 and Catherine's maiden name is Wyt. I'm going to have this researched further.  We'll see what happens.
     I'm including the married names of the women in the labels.  Not going into all those kids today!
     Out of this bunch, our ancestor was Mary Ann Bulera.  She was born 23 Jan 1897 and baptized 7 February 1897 at St. Adalbert's. Her godparents were John (Orzewski) Lazewski and Rose Wilisek. John was Stella's brother.  I don't know if Rose is related.
     Mary Ann married Emil Blaha, son of Vaclav and Mary Henych Blaha.
