She set up in her answer that Boleslaw know full well that the child was not his, and that it was, upon his request that Wadyslaw dulgiewjecz. of Germany became the father while they were residing in Austria." 1915 may 19 there is a court case re helena and a frank herubin for recovery of bond. why tupper lake?? www.nnyln.net has historic newspapers online, free, but i cant find her. why st alphonsus? which is online, and i cannot find her. perhaps not a complete list, or buried under another name? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~frgen/franklin/altamont/st_alphonsus/stalphonsus_picts/stalphonsus_map.htm tupper lake library too small to help prob, but they have a website- http://www.cefls.org/tupperlake.htm maybe someone can read the paper page by page? 1910 census oneida county, city of utica- census says they have been married 20 yrs.
