Thanks! I knew all but the stuff about Carl's siblings. Funny, he was a pround member of a "Polish Club." We always thought he was Polish. He was Jean's 2nd husband. As I recall they fought like maniacs! Yes, our family puts the "fun" in "dysfunctional." -----Original Message----- From: bchef@xtalwind.net To: ohlorain@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 18 Mar 2007 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] need and obit ZYCH 2001 Elvin, According to Lorain Co. Probate Indexes, there was an Emma Jean Allison married to William H. Smith, Jr. (License # ML44-120). Could this have been a first marriage? Emma Jean Zych was the fiduciary for Carl Zych ( Old Case # ES74800). Carl Zych (according to Ancestry's Index - I don't have a subscription) died in 1986, Lorain, Ohio; he was born in Ohio. Carl was the son of George and Varcine (or Varoine/Valentine?) Zych. They were mistakenly indexed under the surname LYCH. He had siblings Walter, Alice, Nellie, and Thedore. His mother was born in Russia, his father in Austria. They lived at 3180 Elyria Ave., Lorain in 1920. There's a Detroit Border Crossing for a George Zych, which might be yours, but it says that he was born in Russia. Still might be the one. There was an Oliver B. Allison living in Lorain in 1920, along with wife Lena, and children Catherine, Robert and Leroy. Hope that you find something on your family.
