Hello Doc thank you again for getting back to me but im still clueless as to your meaning. do you have any knowledge about frank and his family such as his parents names ect. im not sure what you mean about the klan although you've certainly got my attention. i was not aware they were even active in nebraska. could you point me toward a place to start researching this if it pertains to my family. personally i wouldnt know where to begin this. are you related to my bartek family? why would the klan want to conceal anything to do with peoples family trees,im sure that isnt threatening in any manner to their organization.i understand your hesitation in disclosing confidential info but im really stuck on that side of my family and would appreciate all help. sorry that i'm not comprehending your meaning in the previous posts. im really kinda baffled. thank you much for your time and patience.
