Good evening Mr Kessler I think I might be able to help you with some pertanant information on Helen Semancik of Blanford Indiana. First she was my grand aunt and she was a spinster(never married). Her mother however was married to a man named Steven yet her name was Mary. Now my grand aunt did have a yougner brother named Steven which was my granfather. I would be very curious to correspond with you as I am not familiar wth yoru name in connection with any of my family history and ther was only one Semancik clan to inhabit Blanford at any point in time.

Sincerely
Steven A Semancik
