Hi Maureen, Thank you so much. Now I can understand why there are two different spellings of the name. Now I have to just find out where in the world she came from and do my searching there. All I know from the marriage license is her father's name was Albert Sawitzki and her tombstone said she was born in 1868. She died in 1918 and I have no idea if there were any of her family around. Thanks again for the help Pat --------------------------------- Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing.
