Sorry its taken this long to respond...you add another branch to a family tree (giving birth) and you lose all sense of time. What I have learned about how the Polish in 'the old country' named their children was by saints. If a child's birthday fell on or near a saint's day, that was the name of the child (one of the reasons for this was to actually remember their child's birthday since birth records weren't kept). My gr.grandfather Joseph was born in Poland/Russia Nov 2, 1881 married my gr.grandmother Anna Sydlik (b:Jan 1, 1882 in Siedlice, Poland) on Feb 23, 1903 in Beaver Falls, Pa. I know Joseph's parents were Kazimir and Rozia (Kaminski) Kotarski. Joseph and Anna's children were all born in either Beaver Falls, Pa or Glassport, Pa.

I would not know Francis by the picture. I never met him.
The Francis I have in my tree was born in 1909 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania to Joseph and Jadwiga Kotarski who were both born in Poland. My mother in Law might recognize a photo of him as he was her father. Her e-mail is phyljnsn@wans.net or robtjnsn@wans.net

Thank You !

Most definately...Phyllis is the daughter of Martha and Frank. Frank is the son of Joseph and Anna (Sydlik) Kotarski. Joseph and Anna had 8 children. Joseph, Anna (my great grandmother), Bernard, Francis, Rosalia, Stanley, Edward, Margaret. The parents Joseph and Anna (Sydlik): Joseph's parents are Kazmir and Rozia (Kaminski) Kotarski. Anna (Sydlik) Kotarski's parents are Peter (Piotr) and Maryana (Kulisz) Szydlik. Maryana (Kulisz) Szydlik's mother's name is Helen Ann Klocko. Have any of this and what information do you need. Can't take the credit for this side of my tree because I recieved it from a cousin, Mary Ann P.

No, actually. I don't even know her maiden name. I just know she's Charles Kotarski's mom, and she was married to an Edward.
