Hello again Bob; I have looked into my notes on Ilas family. It is the least organized branch of my wifes tree. Almost all my info came from Justine. Notes I jotted down from time to time.
I am assuming from your info that you must be one generation younger than my wife and I. We are both in our seventies and enjoying retirement. We live in Terre Haute, IN the next county south of Diamond and Clinton.
George and Mary Palanciar Ilas, like you said had three children. Justine married Ralph Dowell and had five children ( my wife being one of them. George Jr.never married and died in 1951. Mary married Aurther Cunningham, had two daughters and died in 1995.
The only kin on the Ilas side that my mother inlaw ever mentioned was Anna Battassa. Anna was a daughter of Mary Ilas and Paul Peperak. Mary Ilas was supposed to be a sister to George Sr. Mary and Paul had four other children that I know of. 3 sons, Joseph, Anthony, Lawrence, and another daughter Francis who married a Eftinoff.
The only other sibling of her father George that Justine told me about was another sister. She was Annie who married a Andrew Roscovenski. Andrew and Annie were supposed to have a daughter named Sophie who married a Verosko.
I agree with you about using this message board. We owe it a lot. I have gotten most of my contacts this way.
If you would want to send me your Mailing address on regular e-mail I would be happy to mail you copies of all my Ilas print out. and some copies of some obits, death certificates and the like.
Looking forward to further correspondence.
Bill Easton
