Still working on getting an answer from the family on if there is a copy of the death certificate.

George's daughter Susan wrote in an email dated 30 Sept 2009 "I think he was younger than 79 at his death and I still have questions about where he was born. I would so much love to know."

Thank you so much for some reason I totally forgot about contact the cemetery, I was so happy when I was able to find where George and Mary was buried and then another cousin took the pictures for me -- I forgot that I could contact the cemetery. Thanks both of you for all the help.

My husband is a great-grandson of George's through Paul Andrew Shriner. I'm emailing some of the other cousins that are also working on the hunt -- for both death and birth records but no response yet. As you can tell I have gotten all but two of the children's obituaries. And two children are still alive -- I'm in contact with the youngest a half sister to the rest.

Yes, they are Catholic, but I'm not for sure how to track down Baptismal records.

Julie

P.S George's Grandchild is sending off for his SSI appilication and told me she will let me know when she gets it in
I don't know if the following information will help but it's better to have too much info than not enough.

I'm pretty sure this is the right family.

Mary Washlock from 1930 census. She was the second wife but not yet married to George in 1930 -- I just found her and her family a few minutes ago in the footnote index, but aren't a paying member so can't get the image.

She is living with the Brown family as a maid. Michael obit list him as being born in 1912, so it is possible that this is the entire family in 1930 census. Maybe I'll find George and his family soon.

Michael Washlack Sr.
U.S. Army veteran was retired miner
Michael "Kitty" Washlack Sr., 86, of Florence Drive, Charleroi, Fallowfield Township, died at 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, December 22, 1998, in Washington Hospital. He was born November 21, 1912, in Linn Station, Fayette County, a son of Andrew and Mary Seneca Washlack. Mr. Washlack was a retired coal miner, working at Bethlehem Mines Corp.'s Mine No. 60. He retired in 1974. He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II. Mr. Washlack was a member of Holy Ghost Byzantine Catholic Church, Charleroi; UMWA Local 1197 and Bentleyville Senior Citizens. On December 7, 1941, he married, Carmella Antonucci, who survives. Also surviving are a son, Michael Washlack Jr. of Alexandria, Va.; two daughters, Rosemarie Demsher of Bridgeville, and Patricia Martos of Charleroi; two brothers, Andrew Washlock of Medino, Ohio, and Charles Washlack of Bentleyville; two sisters, Julia Abelowitz of Mayfield Heights, Ohio, and Barbara Merashoff of Bentleyville; a half sister, Susie Percosky of Mayfield, Ohio; two stepbrothers, Joseph and Paul Shriner both of Bentleyville; seven grandchildren, Timmy Washlack, Michele Shepard, Amy Lisnyk, John Demsher, Joanne McNally, Alex Martos Jr. and Holly Ann McCarty. Deceased are a brother, Frank Washlack; and two sisters, Ann Shriner and Mary Medvek.
My Aunt Sue emailed the following on 12 Oct 2009 about her mom Mary (Senak) Washlack

"As far as I know, my mother spelled her maiden name Senak. I had always understood she was an only child and also heard possibly had one brother. Don't know which is correct. My mother came from Austria-Hungary, from a small village named Domaninicz. Not sure of the spelling there. (that is the pronunciation.) I do have it somewhere and if you truly need to know, will try to find the map I have of that time. It is true my mom could not read or write english; but spoke it broken but quite well. I hope this is helpful.
I wouldn't mind studying the the image. Thanks for all your research. You are doing an amazing job. I do believe my mom came over in 1906 to join her husband Andrew Vasaloka. (Spelling incorrect.) The name was changed to Washlock or Washlack at Ellis Isle I understand. My brother Andy, the oldest - born in 1907, was the only sibling to use the name Washlock, others on down, used the last name Washlack. Thus Andy's children retained Washlock and the others have the last name Washlack."

I wrote to my Aunt Sue (George's only child with Mary), but she hasn't responded. I assume she's busy this weekend. She did write the following "I was born in Washington Hospital, Pa. Nov. 26, 1933."


This is what I got on the ww2 card from the library. It says that the back of the card is the next soldiers because of the way it was scanned in Pa -- it might have been fixed by now because the image has 5' 4" for height.

I also found Mary Washlack (George's second wife) in the 1930 census as a WD
