It has been years since I have revisited this site, actually I forgot all about my posting here. The Alice Laurich I referred to is my Aunts' married name, she was Alice Srakar (maiden name, same last name as my father) So while we many be connected by Alice in some way would be very interesting to know. The surname Srakar is from Slovenia, and my dads parents names I only know the grandmother, Frances, Frances was also the name of my fathers other sister named after her mother.
