Thanks very much for your reply. I hadn't checked for years after I'd received no response to my original message. Yes, my parents are Erling (now deceased) and Margaret, now age 92. I'm interested in your relationship to us, as well as the origin of the name "Bartodziej." My mother would like to learn as much as she can about the origins of her ancestors. As you probably know, her parents changed their surname to "Barth" when my mother was a child.
Thanks again for your response. Any leads or information would be very much appreciated!
