Hello Lisa,

I don't have much without dates (even ballparking the decade will help). Are these people still alive? Do you have a rough guess of their birth or death years?

I do have a Mary Catherine Ellis that I am looking for. She is/was my fathers cousin. Her grandfather changed the family name from Ilas to Ellis about 1912. She was born about 1922 in Indiana. Her grandfather and father immigrated to Indiana from Slovakia about 10 years before her birth. Her grandfather, father and brother (only sibling) were all named John. Her brother died young (about 1950-1955) in an air force training accident (according to my father). My father visited them on their farm as a boy in the 1940's. Her name was Mary Katherine Ellis as of the 1930 census when she was 8 years old. I have nothing after that, although I am currently awaiting delivery of obituaries of her father and brother which may give her married name.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you get any information on dates.

Bob Ellis
