Hi cousin,

One of my mother's older sisters came to see us in Cleveland, Ohio once. She had her daughter with her. My mom, Agnes, went back to Idiana for a visit, but she never felt she was really welcome. I think she abandoned her brother, Robert, to the other family members when she married my father.

I know that Andrew, my grandfather, committed suicide during the depression, but I don't know where he's buried.

What's your last name? Send email address. Mine is mcdonaldkori@hotmail.com.

Hi Al,

I forgot to say that I am the oldest daughter of Agnes, who I believe was one year older than your Mom.

My mother used to talk about "Margie" all the time, saying how popular she was. My mom said, everyone sang MY LITTLE MARGIE to your mom. Get back in touch, please. Kori McDonald mcdonaldkori@hotmail.com

Surnames: Kmetz
My grandfather was Andrew Kmetz. His wife was Mary. They settled in Gary, Indiana and owned a Butcher/Grocery Shop. I'd love to see a photo of that store. He committed suicide in 1934.
The boundaries of Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia were constantly changing due to wars, etc. So depending on the period, you might be born Hungarian, Austrian or Czech.

I am sure you know you need to backtrack from yourself collecting documents on each generation. You can not proceed with the research into the "old country" with the research until you find a precise place of birth for Mary aka Maria.
You might want to start in the church the children were baptized in.
