Oh my goodness! I believe we are related! My great grandfather was john patak who moved to detroit in the 30s & was a tailor. 1 of his sons was frank patak who was my grandpa.. aka papoo, & he had a sister helen & a brother rudy who was disabled. Frank's son george & daughter barb still live in the detroit area. Id love to get in touch with you. Franks last christmas gift from the fam was a detailed sketch of the boat he arrived to the US on along w johns immigration paperwork that we framed for frank. Id love to discuss our family tree more w/ you. Feel free to email me
