grandfather was about 14 years old. My mother's mother was
Pauline EFTA. We know her parents were Joe EFTA--born March
1857 in Poland. He married Anna GINTER. They had a son John
belbre they came to this country. Any information we can find
out from Poland would be new information.

Anna later married Albin BABINSKI (in Minnesota) of whom we
know nothing about. We have information about people born
here in the US. We would like to have information from the old
country.
