Hi Cheryl,
Your tree information has helped me a lot.
I started my search about 15 years ago before Ancestry had very much information. My mothers brother William Ishmael told me they were from Blossburg/Morris Run, PA so I started looking there but my grandmother, Helen's sister had Americanized her name and had been know as Carrie Brown. So I didn't find anything. My biggest break came when I found their sister Theresa's marriage certificate to Louis Lenki in Chicago. I also found Cora's social security info. There I found their parents were Joseph Katlewski and Mary Machelski. Then I wrote for church records from Blossburg. That's when I found out my grandmothers name was Victoria. Born Dec.11, 1885. This birthdate matched Carries.
My uncle and my mom had told me the sisters name were Helen, Theresa, Ann/Anna, Cora/Coco. This all matched the few records I was finding, such as the passengers list in 1883
I do have pictures of the sisters. Including Helen I believe. They were in Chicago for some sort of celebration for Theresa. Around 1949?
I will try to send them to you.
I'm just learning how to use Ancestry so it would be easier for me to send via email.
Thanks Pat McPherson.
