~The name of Helen Szymanski should be changed to read Helen Witkowski. My aunt was never a Szymanski. She was the child of Frances Niedbalski Szymanski and John Witkowski. Frank Szymanski married Frances after the death of her first husband, John Witkowski. She was never adopted by Frank.
Name of Helen Szymanski (1911), kmown to us as Aunt Molly, is incorrect. It should be Helen Witkowski, child of John Witkowski and Frances Niedbalski. My grandfather, Francis Szymanski, married Frances Niedbalski in November, 1912, after the death of his first wife, Josephine Kobelinski in May 1912. Helen was 16 months old at the time and retained her name of Witkowski until her marriage to Francis Pesta.
