Anne was from Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio born to an unwed mother Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ferrence. Anne's Aunt & Uncle Micky & Mary Ference (nee Plevyak) owned the Ideal Department Store (grocery/furniture store) located in downtown Niles into the late 50s. They had a daughter Rose Marie Blair (nee Ference) who might still be living in Vienna, Ohio. They gave birth to two children, my mother Julieanne Waechter (b. 28 Mar 1947) and her brother Michael Waechter (b. 1948). Anne Marie Waechter (nee Ference) was a parishoner of Ste Stephens Church in Niles, Ohio (129 Park Avenue West 330-652-4396). Possibly some Ference or Plevyak buried in St. Stephens Cemetery (Niles-Warren Rd NW) Niles, Weathersfield Twp, Trumbull Co., OH. Guess there was a fire at the church in the 1930s destroying their previous records. Any information you can find would be great. Thanks.
