I just realized that Lottie is not related to you. She is related to you by marriage. Her husband was related to you by blood. Mark's (my husband) father is named Connie Wayne Mnich. He was named after his father and grandfather. I guess Connie actually meant Konstanty? Or is that a short name for Konstanty? Mark's father hated his name, Connie, and felt it was a curse (both father and grandfather died from cancer). When my husband was born, he broke the tradition and named him and another son, Mark and Michael, instead of Connie W. Mark just read what I typed and said he recalled that any firstborn son must be named Connie W (it doesn't matter what name but it must start with W). Maybe your father knows something?

By the way, Lottie's maiden name was Volk....or something like that...maybe the one you mentioned? Mark remembers Lottie's brother named Emil V.
