Hi Tonya,
Here are some info/links for your Family Choinski (fully spelled in Polish as Choin~ski - Choiñski] Immigration History Book:

You can search family records in the U.S. with parish Wizna microfilms located at the FHL/LDS centre in Salt Lake City.
FAMILY SURNAME IN THE PRESENT-DAY POLAND
According to Polish census 1990/2002 and other databases in this Bronowo nowbody with the family name Choinski, seems most family Choinski's members moved out to the town of Lomza where we can find more than 25 Poles surnamed Choinski. Finally in this Wizna as parish we can find one family surnamed Choinski:
