Rita, Thanks for your latest and yes I suspect your close!! The pic I am referring to is in my "UNKNOWNS" first pic on page top left. These girls are all ( I am almost certain) Skrobaneks. Daughters of Joseph (Rudolph??) Skrobanek b.1862 d. 1953? and wife Dora (nee Groskurd) Skrobanek b. 1862 d.1927. Dora was sister to my Mary Elizabeth (nee Groskurd) SCHMID. Additionally, the pic to its right "Alma, Helena and Grandma Cortner" are also Groskurd/Cortner/Stoner related. Yes, I recall seeing the Lawler/Lawlor name last night viewing different census- some connection there! We keep going, we might find were related!! Keep me in mind and I'll do the same. Saving email for future reference.. Any of my names ring a bell?
