My grandmother was ANNA MARIA GALA0- Melfi
She had a brother Luciano Gala married to
? - he died at 30 in 1916.
One of my aunts was a nun - Sister Mary
Antonino (Teresa Cassano). When she passed
away in 1994, I cleaned out her room at the
motherhouse. Lots of interesting stuff...
I found the names of Joseph, Anthony, Lucy,
Assunta and Alfred in her belongings
(address book/obituaries etc.)
I have two Memorial Cards for Michael Gala
Michael A. Died June 10, 1957
Michael Died October, 25, 1960
But - I don't know which Michael is the
father of the 6 named above. Is the 2nd
Michael a 7th child?
I live in Buffalo. Perhaps we could correspond
through e-mail. giarring@gateway.net
My name is Jennifer. Hope to hear from you

My grandmother was Eva Gala and I believe she had a brother named John (sp?). At one time she lived in Germany,close to Dusseldorf. She married Adam Badorek and raised a family in Decatur, Illinois.
Her son Edward was my father. Our family is located in Indiana.

I would like to know more about the Gala side of our family.

Hi
my name is Claire Badorek and I'm sorry to say I have no information on the Galas but would be very gratefull for any information you have on the Badoreks. My Fathers name was Fred Badorek and his Father Gustav. They were from the same area that Adam was from. In fact a small town named Datteln not far from Dusseldorf. My Father died 7 years ago and his Father when he was 7. It has been extremely hard to find out anything about the Badoreks so any help would be much appreciated.

Sincerely Claire Badorek

Carol,
I am your second cousin, Jim. Ferdy's second grandson. I don't know if you remember me or not. Haven't seen you for probably 30 years or more. Ed & Lucille were your parents, and Gary, Rolly, and Paul were your brothers.

At any rate, Great Grandma Badorek's maiden name was Eve Golle--pronounced Galla in German. I don't know much about her history. I was told she was working in Alsace Lorrain when she met Adam Badorek. Adam had at least one brother in Germany (who stayed there) named Rudolph.
Adam and Eve had other children who died during a diphtheria epidemic in Germany. One was named Marthe.

I can sure send you the information I have about the family. Do you know Beth Symmonds? One of Bill's granddaughters.
She was researching the family tree, but only nuts like me fell out.

Drop me a line if you read this. Take care.

Best wishes,
Jim Badorek

Hi
this is not regarding the Gala family tree. You say that your Grandmother was from near Dusseldorf. My Father is from Datteln which is not far from Dusseldorf. Do you know anything about the Badoreks. I believe we are from East Prussia, my grandfather was Prussian.
