"a moderate working man's socialist club, the Knights of the Golden Eagle"[edit]

This does not seem like an accurate description of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, based on their linked Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_the_Golden_Eagle). Nothing on their article suggests a connection with socialism, although it does mention that members were required to be "of the Christian faith" (which seems like an unusual requirement for a socialist club).

TLDR: KGE seem like just another of the quasi-masonic groups that were everywhere during the Golden Age of Fraternalism, not a "working man's socialist club." Mosi Nuru (talk) 01:04, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Family origin[edit]

The "Belarussian-Jewish" story referenced in the article is completely made up. American and Polish genealogists have pinpointed the wedding of Paul Czolgosz and Mary Nowak to the church in Strzelce near Inowroclaw, Poland. Their marriage record is registered under #1 in 1867 in the marriage register of the Strzelce parish. Czolgosz is a rare Polish name only existing in this corner of Poland. The Czolgoszes settled in Alpena, Michigan among many other Catholic Polish families coming from Prussian Poland in the same period. PoznanProject (talk) 14:10, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
