From: Mary Pryor Was that on some of those funeral home records I copied? From reading census takers handwriting, etc I would venture to guess that the como was really coma but the olena has me puzzled. Hi, Mary You're off the hook for that one. <g> Someone else copied the funeral home records that mentioned olena como. I've ordered a copy of the death certificate. When it gets here maybe all of us can take a shot at trying to decipher what's written on it. Speaking of cause of death on a death certificate, my wife ordered a copy of the death cert. for her great grandfather and the cause of death was written. . . . ."don't know" . Maybe "olena como" is another term for "don't know". <g> Bobby L.
