Debbie,

I cannot tell u to much, however, what I do know is my grandmother Mary, married Andrew Kalman who was from Austria-Hungary. They lived in Trenton NJ , and had two children, Anna and Michael. Mary had quite a few brothers and sisters, I do not all of their names. I do know there was an Anna and a George. I believe there was 9 in all, but not certain.
When I was a child. I remember my grandmother (Mary) telling me she had to quit school in the 1st grade to go and work in a cigar factory to help her family.
Mary died in the early 70's. Her husband died about a year later. Her daughter Anna is still alive and lives in NJ, she is about 78 years old now. mary's son , Michael, also still alive is 74 and also lives in NJ. If you are in any way tied to this family, please, help me to dicover my family. It is so very important to me.
