Celia was the 6th child and 2nd daughter to Phillip and Anna Yerke. Born in Scranton, PA, she appears with her parents in the 1900 census (7 months old) and 1910 census (11 years old) in Scranton.

Around 1916 (exact date unknown) she married Bernard Sienkiewicz who had immigrated from Poland in 1911. They would have daughters Ann Marie (1917) and Genevieve (1919).

In the 1920 census Celia is found in Scranton with her husband and daughters. Following that census she would have three more children, daughters Theresa (1921), Pauline (1923) and Celia (1927).

I am unable to find Celia and family in the 1930 census but she would have two sons, Bernard (1930) and Ronald (1933) after that census.

In 1934 Celia's husband Bernard would die leaving her with seven children to care for.

In the 1940 census Celia is found in Scranton with younger five of her children. Her two oldest daughters, Ann would marry in 1935 and Genevieve in 1938.

On October 9, 1948 Celia would marry a second time to Julius Jankowsky who, like her first husband, was also a Polish immigrant.

Celia was 64 years old at the time of her death.
