I need some help to break down a brick wall regarding Joseph Kornatowski and his wife, Theresa Gruszczynska.  Joseph was born March 17, 1894 in Montreal, Canada.  He and his family immigrated to the US in May 1894.  They were Chicago residents and attended St. Hedwig's Church.  Joseph is living with his parents, Constantine & Florence Kornatowski in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census.  He married Theresa Gruszczynska in June 1922.  I have not been able to find a death date for either one of them, or find them in the 1930 census.  Also have not found WWI and WWII draft registration cards for Joseph.  The last mention of him that I have is his sister's obit (Marie Wiedemann) in Oct. 1951.  His parents are buried at St. Adalbert's Cemetery.  Any help will be greatly appreciated!   Barb P.

LOL Sorry for laughing, but it is in shared pain. I think I found him, born Montreal living in Illinois in the WW II old mans draft. Dates are off a bit and the spelling is off a lot, but his wife is Theresa. I found the couple in 1930 and Joseph dying in Florida.
