The preceding bio was the result of my sister JoAnn Shirley's tireless efforts in researching and documenting our family's history.
I also wish to credit Ms. Sandy Duda from Lehighton, PA, Recordkeeper for the St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in McAdoo, PA for e-mailing me the photograph of their beautiful Marker.
In March 2013, I embarked on a nearly 2000 mile journey to visit the land of my ancestors and "reconnect" with my history and heritage. As part of this trip, I was able to visit this grave site and lay my hands upon the stone wall my great-grandfather helped build (bucket list item). While there, I placed a small stone from the wall upon their marker to let them know I had been there. Rest in peace my great-grandparents.
