Anyway, I am a Kortas from Toledo, OH. My gr gr grandparents were from Tuchola, Poland. Names were Jan (John) and Anna Kortas. We also had a name change to Curtis, but since it was not legally done, they had to change back. This was done in the 1920s. There was also a spelling change of one brother- Joseph, who went with Kordas. Not sure why. I know that the church records in Toledo spelled our name Kordas a lot. Maybe he got tired of correcting them??!! Contact me at kj_mohr at yahoo for more info. as this is actually my husband's account so I may not get your message right away.
