Thanks Gloria! And thank you to the others who have helped also.I have had look ups done for Brown and Shawano counties.No luck. So the records must be in Oconto county.Would anyone be willing to look them up in Oconto for me? I have checked the rootsweb Oconto page and there are not any volunteers that I could see that did this type of look up.I do not know what church they went to.Here are the children's names again: Theodore J. Zdarstek(may be spelled Zdarresk(h?)ek on b.cert.) b.21Apr1921 in Pulaski,Wi Paul Zdarstek-b.1922 in Pulaski,Wi Eleanor Victoria Zdarstek b.16June1924 in Pulaski,Wi Helen Marie Zdarstek b.25June1925 in Pulaski,Wi.
