i am looking for information on the szpekowski family that lived in chicago. Does a Joseph, or Catherine Szpekowski mean anything to anyone? they had one son named erwin. I believe they must have changed their name to spencer, but the details are rather sketchy. My father was erwin spencer, who moved to wilmington, De in the 1950's. I was not aware of the possibility of a different surname until 1997, when i found my grandmother's mass card which listed her name as catherine spencer szepkowski. She died Dec. 11, 1949 with services being held at St. Stanislaus church. I am very interested in this new discovery, but since my father died in 1973, and both my grandparents are dead, i have run into a dead end.any help/or information would be greatly appreciated.
