First of all, thanks so much to Cheryl for setting up this site. I'm researching the TWARDOS family name. I'm having a particular problem with Albert George TWARDOS. I made a trip to IL last October and found a few more pieces to the puzzle, but there are still a lot of pieces missing. -- Albert was born in Poland on 26 Dec 1879. -- Albert died in Johnston City, Williamson, IL on 7 Jan 1922. -- Albert is buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Broadwell Township. -- Albert married Helen Nellie STUPEK in abt 1908. St. Mary's provided this date. The Logan County Clerk checked from 1899 - 1916 and found no record of this marriage. -- Albert and Helen purchased a home in Lincoln, Logan, IL in 1910 and sold it in 1920 (Logan Co. records). When they moved to Phillips, Price, Wisconsin. -- Albert and Helen had four (4) children while living in Lincoln (1909, 1911, 1913 and 1917). The children's birth records (Logan Co. records) indicate that their mother was born in Minonk, Woodford, IL in abt 1888. Can anyone help me find any history on Helen and any record of Albert and Helen's marriage. I have seen Helen listed as either "Helen Nellie" or "Nellie Helen". Also her maiden name as been listed as "Stupik". IL Census records indicate that her parents were born in Austria and spoke Slovak. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
