I have access to pictures of Zigmund Dlugokenski and will try to scan them and email them to Sylvia. Also, I had another daughter Anastasia Marie born Oct 30, 1998. My cousins Cynthia and Patti have given birth to children since. I will send names and dob. As to name change- I have been told two stories. 1. changed name for convience easier to pronounce and spell 2. my grandfather and his brother worked at a dairy farm on top of a hill and everyone called them the hill boys and they changed their namme to Hill.

Zigmund was educated. He could read and write prior to his entry into the U.S. My grandfather said they would send packages and mail to family in Poland. Relatives in Poland where either judges or lawyers.

I found out that the name change occurred in June 1945. It was originally going to be changed to Kent, a shortened form of Dlugokenski. Obviously, Hill was chosen for the same reason stated before.
