There sure is a connection- both were my uncles. My father is Alphonse, their youngest brother, who still lives in North Tonawanda, on 17th Ave. The house you remember at 47 Sixth Ave. was the home of my grandparents, Adelbert (George) Sipior and his wife, Mary (Buczynski) Sipior. Would love to hear how you know the family- do you still live in N.T? Any rememberances- I grew up there as well! And in researching the Sipior surname, we often got our family confused with the Adalbert and Mary Syposs who lived off Wheatfield Street! Are they your relatives? Please e-mail me directly at
