Sorry my response is SO delayed. The Balnanosis name is in my family tree as well. My great-grandfather Joseph Martin Pukas had a sister named Catherine (1890-1956), and she married Simon Balnanosis (1888-1962). They had two children, Alma (d. 1981) and
Alberta (d. 1979); both are buried in <a href=
