Posted on: Yukon Koyukuk Area Ak Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ak/YukonKoyukuk/7 Surname: Andrews, Pitka, Sirosky, Sherosky ------------------------- Mary Andrews was born near Koyukuk or Nulato. Sometimes she was called "Big Mary" because she was tall. Mary was the mother of seven boys. The first five somehow drowned in the Koyukuk River. Gil Andrews and Edward Pitka were the only two remaining. Mary died when Gil was 7 and Edward was 4 about 1929. I would like to find out more about the drowning deaths of her first 5 children and her maiden name of Sirosky or Shirosky. Thank you, Jeanne
