Notes for John STEFANSKI
[John’s question] 5. "Gizewski & Stafanski mr” I’m not sure who this marriage record is for. I have no on with the last name of Stafanski in my records.  
   (5)  Eva Gizewska lived in Cleveland, Ohio.  She married John Stefanski.  They lived close to Michael and Franciska (first wife).  I have a letter to my Mom, Victor and Anna from Verona Gizewski, the letter mentioned one of Eva's daughters.  The daughter had passed away, and Verona wanted to know if anyone called, saying "after all we were cousins".  I assumed there was a relationship and that confirmed it, although I was sure what relationship.  While I requested records, I asked for Eva and John's marriage church record, knowing the parents names would be on the record.   Bingo, Michael and Eva had the same parents, Eva was Michael sister.  Babe also said Anna wrote to someone in Ohio and received letters back.  Then all of a sudden it stopped.   Eva passed away when Babe was a young girl.
