You're very welcome. The icing on the cake might be if RunKitty can find the obituary for Alexander Bura - which might mention Joan/Florence

Perhaps a long shot but the surname seems unusual and might be worth further investigation  - There is this Bura famiy in Toronto - perhaps we can find more to see if they were related to Alexander Bura born 1916

This would be the father - Nikita Bura 1896 Velykyi, Oleksyn, Ukraine  – passed away 1985 Toronto Ontario.
Might have been a brother Nicholas Bura born in Ukraine 1923.  Also a  Paul Bura born 1925 Ukraine.

There was a   U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims entry for Nikita Bura with a wife Olga Nowak  - child Paul Bura.

Added - Divorced Oksana Kasanchuk in Ukraine. Married Olga Nowak. He did not marry Alex's mother. (according to anc tree)

The obituary for Nicholas Bura doesn't hep identify Alexander.
