I believe that Josepha was my great grandmother, but she was widowed in 1875 and married Antonio Smarzynski in 1878. My mother told me that their were twin boys and another daughter. They left Gaylord Michigan and moved to Chicago. I a have seen many different spellings for the last name. I haven't been able to sort it all out. M.
