Chronological Timeline:

The 1875 state census of New York has the immigrant Domagała family enumerated within Ward 5 of Buffalo, Eric County, New York. Their household consisted of the following:

Charles Dumagalla 68 M Head Germany Married G. Laborer in Buffalo alien cannot read or write
Mardolona Dumagalla 50 F Wife Germany Married cannot read or write
Martin Dumagalla 14 M Son Germany Single
Martina Dumagalla 12 F Daughter Germany Single
Josephine Dumagalla 18 F Daughter Germany Single Servant Girl in Buffalo

NOTE: Other than Wojciech Domagała's name being written as Charles, which I believe the census-taker mistakenly wrote after hearing 'ciech,' this census record aligns with what we know about this immigrant family. Mardolona obviously should be Magdalena.

The city directories for Buffalo, Erie County, New York provided more detailed information about Wojciech Domagalski's placement:

Year: Name: Occupation: Address:

1875 Albert Domagalski mason h. 78 Bennett
1876 Albert Domalgalski lab. h. 17 Roos

It's unclear when exactly Wojciech Domagalski left New York for Chicago, however, his daughter Anna was enumerated in the 1880 federal census on 11 Jun 1880 at 116 Front St., in District 140 of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Their household was mistakenly enumerated as Fingler, unless they were trying to pass as Germans rather than Poles.

Peter Fingler W M 28 Head Laborer Crippled Prussia
Annie W F 24 Wife Keeping House Prussia
Josephina W F 4 Daughter at home New York
John W M 2 Son Illinois
Peter W M 6/12 [Dec] Son Illinois

"George Demagolski" died on 29 Jan 1890 at 7pm, at 3055 Farrell St., in the sixth ward of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. He was an 80 year old laborer born in East Prussia who had been residing in Illinois for ten years (~1880). The cause of death is listed as apoplexy, which lasted ten minutes. He was buried at St. A[d]elbert cemetery and the death certificate was filed on 30 Jan 1890.

The 1891 city directory for Chicago, Illinois shows laborer "John Domagall" residing at 2636 Farrell. This may reflect Wojciech Domagalski residing with or near his son John Domagalski.
