Also present are some personal financial records, records of cultural and fraternal societies to which family members belonged, copies of photographs, and genealogical records of the Kwasniewski and Dyniewicz families in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Poland. Also included are several pamphlets and programs from various organizations, two Polish-language songbooks, and a small volume written and published by Wladyslaw Dyniewicz.
