Hi Geana:
I got your address from the ancestry site. I had been communicating with Yvonne last year trying to sort out some ancestry details. She had mentioned you had a lot of info. I have e mailed her again but have not had a response lately. Hope everything at her end is okay.
So since I found your address I'll ask you if you have any suggestions or information that can help me to sort out this confusion.
Yvonne has an Eli Cojocari born from Cleonfira & Constantin on March 16, 1916 in Dahinda Sask.
My father was born Ilie Cojocari from same parents, same date, same small town but the siblings are not the same.
Yvonne's family has the parents immigrating to the US where they died and were buried there.
I believe my grandmother Cleonfira died in Niagara Falls Ontario while living with her daughter Angeline and is buried in Hamilton Ontario.
I have a copy of my dad's birth certificate and an affadavit from my grandmother, Cleonfira where in she is confirming my dad's birthdate and his name. This affadavit is dated in 1941. At that time she is married to a Peter Lobodici and some of the Lobodici remaining family remembers her. They lived then in Westover, Ontario not far from Hamilton. My dad went to primary school in Hamilton and I have school diplomas showing that.
Would you have anything that could help me to sort this out. I don't want to be pursuing the wrong family tree. I can find absolutely nothing on my grandparents.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you. Tried emailing you at
ggberar35@aol.com but it came back undeliverable.
