Notes:

Married:
According to the 1900 census Frank and Helen had been married 31 years, she had borne 12 children, 8 of whom were living. This would make Helen 13 at the time of her marriage and by my count there were 11 children by this time.

According to the 1910 census Frank and Helen had been married 32 years, however it does say Frank has been married twice. This actually makes more sense as Helen would have been about 22. In this census she has borne 9 children / 9 living. This makes some sense too as there is a gap in children from about 1873 to about 1879 when Stella is born. If Stella is Helen's first born the numbers 9/9 work out.

Paul married Kataryna PIEKARSKI. Kataryna was born in 1857; died in 1901. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
