Had a go at your Yahoo Link and saw Kosbab under Amazon Books, gave it a click and this is wot I got: 

Original Motorcycle Dictionary/Terminology

William H. Kosbab

Original motorcycle dictionary/terminology

William H. Kosbab

Is this, could it be, a book by Uncle Bill, aka William Henry Kosbab?

Should think Len or Ken would know.

Back again, have finally collated information I gleaned from IGI, plus Jeanne Vincent of USA. Jeanne's husband is the great great grandson Charles John Vincent ( Sidwell's brother) his son Philip was Jeanne's husbands great grandfather, she didn't tell me her husbands's father's or her husband's names.
 
If you look through the list of Charles John Vincent's children, you will see that he and his wife appear to have included certain second names.  William gets ARTHUR,  Henry gets JENKIN - is this because they are using second names as a way of recording family surnames.  They also name one child Philip.  If James Vincent and Sidwell Arthur are our John's parents, then James' father was PHILIP Vincent Jnr.  From Charles' children's names I think we could be on a winner.  Could the other names be for Mary Ann Odgers Family - There are an awful lot of Odgers down there in Budock.  I reckon John Vincent probably had a finger in changing a, maybe mistakenly believed, dropped H! 
 
All that said, until I find the marriage between Mary Ann (H)Odgers and John Vincent, and or both their death certificates, we cannot prove a ruddy thing.  But isn't that the joy of genealogy.

LEWANDOWSKI/CZOLGOSZ/TARKA/STANKIEWICZ

Currently in the process of researching my family tree. Trying to locate family members with the following last names: LEWANDOWSKI, CZOLGOSZ, TARKA and STANKIEWICZ. My grandparents Thomas and Katherine (STANKIEWICZ) TARKA can to American from Poland through Ellis Island. The first settled in the Herbert, Bobtown,Cardale, PA area. They moved to Toledo, Ohio in the late 1920's. Thomas' brother Andrew and his wife Anna came with them, they had two sons (John and Stanley). Katherine had a brother Frank and sisters Frances and Julianna who also immigrated to the US. Thomas and Katherine had four sons Andy, Walter, John and Joseph and five daughters Sohpie, Agnes, Mary, Stella and Ann (my mother). Some TARKA relatives may still be living in the PA area.

My other grandparents, Joseph S. and Helen (CZOLGOSZ) LEWANDOWSKI live in Toledo, Ohio all their lives. They had two sons Joseph J. (my father) and Leonard and one daughter Virginia. Joseph S. had brothers Edward, Matt, Frank, Anthony, and Caspar. Helen had eight brothers Joseph, Walter, Kasimir (KC), Steven, Roman, Valerian aka Jim, Frank and Stanley (Charlie).
