thank you so much for both of your replies to my post! I am thinking that
possibly, my great grandfather may have misspelled his wife's father's name
on the death certificate......I am going to work on finding Kukolus and
Kukorudz now...... As far as Stalowy, since there are no names found on the
Rymut site, I will work on the Stalowski name.........maybe I'll get
somewhere, maybe not. I still search, and thank you for your kind efforts.
Best regards,
Connie
