I am looking for information on my Grandfathers family. His father Bernard Bochatin came to the United States around 1873. I found and old obit posted on the internet for a woman who came from Bochatin, Poland.When you pull this up on the Polish site you come up with may variations on Spellings. The most likely one is Bohatyn or Bohutyn. But catching the spelling of your name I am wondering if there could be a connection. I have not figured out where in Poland they came from but the area in Illinois mainly was settled by people from the Posen area. Bernard was possibly the son of Michael Bochatine. I do not know if he came to the United States or not. Let me know if you have any feeling on this possible connection. Trudy
