Martin's siblings in Milwaukee are believed to include:
- Antonina (Mrs. Ferdynand) Szymanski,
- Pelagia (Mrs. Johann) Aussem , and
- Rosalie (Mrs. August Frederick) Heuer.
Martin married Frances Lewandowski on November 21, 1875 in a Catholic ceremony in Sadki, Poznan, Prussia, now in Poland.
Prior to their marriage, Martin lived in Sadki. Frances lived in a place called Bnin just prior to the marriage. Bnin was located within the Catholic Church's Sadki parish.
Martin and Frances Kierzek arrived at Baltimore July 6, 1882 with their young family on the S.S. Salier (Nord Deutcher Lloyd line), from Bremen, Germany. The steamship had one funnel and two masts and accommodated nearly 550 passengers in steerage on that voyage.
The Kierzek family soon settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Martin worked for a railroad, perhaps the Milwaukee Road. Martin was a painter in the railroad shops.
Martin filed his Declaration of Intention to become a citizen of the United States in federal court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, on September 30, 1884 in Milwaukee.
On July 20, 1889 the Milwaukee Sentinel report of Real Estate Transfers showed that Martin Kierzek purchased lot 28, block 9, in Wootsch's subdivision, Fourteenth ward, City of Milwaukee from Ottilie Wootsch and Husband for $475.
On October 28, 1892, Martin petitioned and was admitted to citizenship of the United States.
The family lived at 440 Rogers St. in Milwaukee for many years. Frances and Martin died three months apart in 1931.
