Not sure whether this helps anyone with their tree...and perhaps im hopeful my family can latch on to someone elses tree so I can find out more about my own personal family history. Anyway, My name is Edward Joseph Lada, Jr. I am the son of Edward Joseph Lada, Sr. and Brenda Sue Phares Lada. My grandfather was Enoch Lada and my grand mother is Carmen Beltran Lada. What I know is that my grandfather Enoch was, i believe, a merchant marine and met and married my grandmother in Vera Cruz, Mexico. They then moved to New Orleans. Ive been told that my last name is Polish. Hope this helps someone!

Hey Lorraine!
I know you posted this forever ago . . . but I've begun to research my "family tree" and saw that some names you mentioned synched up with some info I have. My name is Brandee Lada, my father is Charles and he is from St. Louis, MO. His father was Chester and Chester's brothers were Edward and Paul. Their father was Anthony and their mother was Frances. Please let me know if all this synchs up with what you know. From what I've been told, Edward didn't have any daughters, just sons and none of the boys (Chester, Edward, or Paul) had middle names . . . my sources of direct info are limited and aren't definite . . . it would be so great if you could contact me.

Re: Lada information

One origin for the name Lada Is that it was a name created at Ellis Island aproximately 1910 when Francis Lada came to USA from Poland. His Polish name had an "L" with a horizontal line through the upright in the "L" and it was pronounced Wada. Since this letter did not exist in the english alphabet it was changed at Ellis Island to a similar looking letter although with a different pronouciation.

I have a Joseph Lada born in December of 1887, however the only information that I have on him is his birthdate and immigration date(1895) per the 1900 Census. He disappears on me and I have not been able to trace him.

2001-09-05 11:37:48Z

Yes we have spoken before. I thank you for the tip on 'Ollie' I have suspected for some time that my Ollie and Alexander are one and the same but can not document it. The birth dates are so similar and there is no further records to be found on Alexander anywhere. One of Ollie Walter's children is still living, however he is not aware of his surroundings, and his spouse has no knowledge of his family line. Perhaps I will gently nudge her for information again. Maybe on some slip of paper somewhere, someone accidently put down ollie's full name as alexander. Wouldn't that be great. Stanislaw Lada went by Steve, as did his son. However in more recent generations they have used the more american Stanley as a nickname. Also, now that I have documented Stanislaw and Steve as one and the same, I have put a gedcom file at ancestry. Hope it helps someone.

Stanislaw Steve Lada, chzech., Poland, Missouri USA,

2001-08-27 01:14:25Z

Stanislaw 'Steve' (Stive) Lada born February 1854 in Russia Poland. He married Helena Solvceska. She was born 1864 in Russia Poland.

Stanislaw is buried in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis,MO. Section 16, Lot oooT, grave # 324. Calvary Cemetery records page 386. There is no headstone, however I did photograph the location of the grave.

Stanislaw "Steve" Lada's children are:
1.Stanislaus 'Steve" -born December 1883 Russia Poland
2.Stella -born December 1885 Russia Poland
3.Joseph -born December 1887 Russia Poland
4.Ollie Walter -born January 6,1890 Russia Poland
5.Alexander -born February 1891 Russia Poland
6.Thomas -born December 1896 Missouri, USA
7.Leo -born June 1898 Missouri
8.Annie- born April 1899 Russia Poland

Also I am trying to connect:
Julia Lada of St. Louis to Stanislaw 'Steve' Lada. Julia's son John Struminski married Stanislaw's grand daughter Leona Agnes Lada. It is also thought that Julia had siblings Helen and Frank.
Adam Lada of St. Louis to Stanislaw 'Steve' Lada. Adam is married to Josephine 'Jozepha'. Adam and Josephine 'Jozepha' are buried together in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis, MO. Stanislaw 'Steve' Lada is buried with a girl by the name of Josephine Lada age 13.

I am a descendant through Stanislaw's son Ollie Walter Lada who is also buried in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis,MO. with his wife (Opal Agnes Hynes) and in-laws (James Harlan Hynes and Nannie Mary Yates) Ollie is not listed on the 1900 census with his parents and 7 siblings, HOWEVER, Ollie did name them specifically on his social security application as his parents. POSSIBLY there was an error on the census and Ollie and Alexander are one and the same??????

Ollie Walter Lada had a son Ollie Charles Lada (my grandfather) who is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery in St. Louis,MO. along with his wife (#2) Cleopatra Hennessey. Wife #1 Goldie Ellen Sutton was my grandmother.

Anything sound familiar? you can contact me directly.
