We just might be related. And I couldn't be happier. I have been trying very hard to find someone, somewhere.......My Great Grandfather, John Kowal, a Miner in Switchback, West Virginia (or thereabouts). He married Anna Lisewski (maybe be spelled wrong). They had my Grandmother, Julia Theresa Kowal January 29th 1915 in Switchback. Grandma died when I was 7. This is all I know, really - I can get you in touch with my Aunt, Uncle and Mom for more info if this all sounds familiar to you. Please, e-mail me- Tracy Foran at
