My uncle was EDWARD JOSEPH LEWANDOWSKI, born 7 March 1924 (in Baltimore, MD), DIED 2 June 1968. I know that he died in the Veterans Administration Hospital, in Hampton. His much older wife was VIRGINIA LEWANDOWSKI, born 23 October 1893, DIED 17 October 1971. They're both buried in Hampton National Cemetery, in Hampton City, VA. I don't know where, precisely, Eddie and Virginia had official residency set up at the times of their deaths, but do know it was in Virginia (and believe it was somewhere relatively near the hospital). Hopefully obituaries for each of them will appear in a Hampton City newspaper. If not, might there perhaps be VA state-wide or county (or regional) newspapers that could be checked? I have no idea what Virginia's maiden name was, or if she'd been previously wed and had children from a prior marriage. (I got her dates info from a Find A Grave memorial, and don't know anything at all more about her.) She and my uncle never had children together. My understanding is that they married sometime within the ten or so years prior to Eddie's death. Anyone who's able to help with their obituary look-ups, I will be most grateful. Please e-mail me directly at Genplant29@aol.com, and put something like "LEWANDOWSKI obituaries" in the Subject line of your message, so I'll know it isn't spam. Thanks! Best regards, Dave Wilson PS: By any chance does anyone have any suggestions on how I might locate Eddie and Virginia's marriage record? I have no clue as to a year or location, but am confident they wed somewhere in Virginia. If my mother's belief is accurate, Eddie and Virginia met while he was for years going to the V.A. Hospital for ongoing medical care. (Eddie was long in ill health, with a bad heart, etc.) My guess is that they wed somewhere in that part of the state, if not actually in Hampton. My mother doesn't think they were married for any longer than maybe 13 or so years tops (though she really doesn't know). It very well may have been far fewer years than that.
