I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. This chat room has unblocked a lot of road blocks that I’ve run into and has allowed me to continue my search.

Mary Czaplicka mother’s name was Michalina Kruass/Kraus/Kraus  b: 1891 in Poland. Illegitimate child to Anna Kraus who came out before her. Lived in Detroit.Arranged for Michalina to come to America several years later-I think around 1911 -arranged marriage to Felix Czaplicka. married in 1912.
Chn John 1912,Sophie 1914,Stella 1916,Mary 1918,Felix 1921,Walter 1926.
I can’t find anything at all about the dad,Felix. I found a Michalina immigrating 1911-not sure.
Just found out the John changed his name to Suplicky. Have traced the rest of the family.
Just at the moment looking into the marriage of Mary Czaplicka to Paul H Herta.
And yes many use Czaplicki as their surname. Traditionally it was the “a” “i” ending. But I’ve found that if the dad used Czaplicki his daughters used it too.

From the wedding application Paul’s parents are Christian Herter,Rose Pauline Euler
I found the in 1920,1930,1940 Censuses-I found the marriage of his sister Christine to Elmer Schaefer on Dec 31 1935. There is a sister Dorothy. Can’t find any information on her.
I believe Christian Herter died in 1949 and Rose in 1978. Can’t find their place of burial though

Yes You have the correct family in the 1940 census. It’s weird that the marriage date for Harry and Fannie is 1948 in W Virginia. Where they actually married in the 1940 census! My husbands family is very confusing

My husband always thought his mother was married before-
finally found the marriage application
I couldn’t track Paul E Herter from that date. Did he die! Were they divorced!
And my husband doesn’t know his mom and dads wedding date
Mary Czaplicka born Feb 1918 Philadelphia,died Sept 8 1967 NJ
Thomas Witts born Oct 16 1919 PA,died Nov 11,2001 NJ

I’m also looking for the death date of his Grandmother
Fannie Quinn
b:1893 PA. parents Thomas J Adams/Jane Stevenson
m: !!!!! Martin Witts/Witz 1890-1923
m: Harry Quinn 1877-1951

I have many other queries with the Czaplicka line. But at the moment I hope to solve the above 2
Thank you

Can anyone locate the death of Mary Domincovich
I know she was born Mary Kuhn 1856/58 in Maryland. I’m unable to find her death and place of burial.
Once again thank you everyone for your help.

Thank you all for the information- it fills in a lot of the gaps that I have.
Anthony Harry/Harry Anthony is the same person
The marriage certificate for Peter Domincovich to Mary Kuhn has him being born in Dalmatia.
I have found all the deaths of the Chn of Harry Domincovich and the Chn of George Diston.
I wonder why the change in last name?

I traced the brother of my great great grandmother (Francesca”Dominkovic” Kosić)to  Philadelphia USA.
Peter Domincovich b:May 15 1854 Viganj d: July 23 1890 Philadelphia
m: Mary Kuhn, May 16 1880 Philadelphia
Chn
Antun/Anthony H b: 1881 d: 1947
George Peter b: 1883
Mamie b: 1885 d: 1893
Margaret b: 1888

Would love to find when Peter arrived in the USA
When the wife Mary died

I have been able to trace the family of Anthony
I just discovered that George changed his name from Domincovich to Diston prior to the 1940 C
Couldn’t find his death or that of his wife Mary Lamb. He may have remarried in 1949 SATTLER.
I couldn’t trace Margaret. I found a Margaret Domincovich in a 1940 C working at Philadelphia Hospital

I hope someone can fill in some gaps.

Sorry. 1866 I’d definitely the incorrect birth date for Bridget Fitzpatrick
I tried looking for the burial place for both John and Mary but no luck.
If you go by the death notices in Trove ,Mary would have been 28 when she arrived in Australia around 1850
John would have been 29 and arrived around 1845
So at time of marriage Mary 31,John 37.
2nd marriages!!!
