Born and raised in Midland, Mi., moved to Indianapolis IN in 1978. Currently resides in Arcadia, IN.

My ancestors are all from Northern Europe. Polish is my Fathers first language and when he went to school, his last name and his brother's were spelled differently because of their heavy European accents. Because all four of my Grandparents came to the States through Ellis Island, I can't find anything about them.

The picture is of myself and my Mother. Both of her parents came from Romania.

If I can be just a small part of helping others find their ancestors, I am truly honored.
