    Thanks. I'll check it out once I get back home. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I received photo copies of 3 family Bibles with birth, baptism, confirmation, marriage, and death for several branches in my family. So I've got some homework to do.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    My husband's grandmother was Katerina Mikulka, her father was Stefan b. 1865 d. 1946, her mother was Elizabeth Polak and her siblings were Apolena & Stefan. Her father came to the US I believe, after the death of Elizabeth (which was shortly after the birth of Apolena in 1912). Katerina and her siblings didn't follow him until about 1920. They pretty much settled in Callender, IA. I really do not have much more on them yet.

    The Joseph Bartnicki in the last obituary is related to us. He is the brother to my husband's grandfather Felix Bartnicki. I was trying to decipher the relations with Mike Bartnicki the son of Joseph. It says in the obit that his wife's name is Lynn but in your first paragraph you mentioned his wife was Connie????
    Walenty is also referred to as Walenti and Valentine in some records. His wife was Rose or Rozalia.
    I have pictures of Walenty on geni. Take a look again at Geni with the search bar and put in his name. I am not sure what spelling I ahve on it. Talk soon.
