• Notes

  BIRTH: WWII draft card has birth as 18 Dec 1890, not 1891. Konstantine said that back in Russia he had a stepmother, whom he hated. One day she hit Konstantine's brother which made Konstantine mad so he pushed or threw her down the steps. Konstantine was a good friend of Frank Myczkowski, so when Frank died and left Margaret a widow with three children, she married Konstantine so her children would have a father and provider. Unfortunately, he was quite a drinker. He had a metal plate in his head as the result of being beaten with a club by the cops (he was drunk). This beating happened before he married Margaret. MARRIAGE: Listed in Cuyahoga County Probate Court Marriage Index as Bride--Myczkowska, Magga H. and Groom--Borak, Kostanty. Borak is exactly how it appears. V.152, Pg 207. The middle initial (H) is probably for her maiden name, Horwat, as Myczkowska would be her name as a widow. IMMIGRATION: Entered U.S. in 1912 at Ellis Island, NY. Always talked about coming from White Russia.
