If all the details are correct your great grandfather is also my grandfather. I am the son of Dr. Wenceslao B. Nowak Bodero. Who practiced in Guayaquil as well as Mercy, Ca. and in New York. He has sisters, Clara, Lucy, brothers Luis, (an attorney), Francisco, (civil engineer). I meet Clara in 1985 on a trip to Guayaquil. Wilfredo the husband of Clara, Maruja the mother of "Chicho" son of my uncle Francisco Nowak, Roberto Nowak, a merchant in the shrimp business. They all where very humble and great caring people. We have family in Port Chester NY, Manhattan, and who knows where else. I live in Florida USA, born in NYC. I know I have brothers and sister I have never met in California, so here we are I think awaiting to make the long needed connections.
