Helen was born in Lipnica Murowana, Galicia to Anton Kuc and Rosalia Jaroszinski. She was the eldest of nine children, nearly all of whom died young.

Helen married Andrew Polek in Lipnica Murowana, Galicia on 13 Nov 1855, when she was barely 17 years old. She gave birth to twelve children, only six of whom lived past childhood. Her living children included Anton, Szymon, Victoria, Rosalia, Michael and Martin. Victoria did not immigrate, but all the others did.

Helen and Andrew immigrated to America around 1886, along with five of their six living children. Andrew died in 1898 and Helen did not remarry.

Documentation for Helen and her family is extensive in Chicago, and in the parish records for Lipnica Murowana, available on LDS microfilms.
