My fathers grandparents adopted him and my uncle, they took thier mothers family name of Surko. My father believes WIllard to be of Pennsylvania Dutch, at least thats what his older aunts told him. We are not sure of his families heritage or origins, I would love to know. My Aunt Flossy Mungavin belonged to the MOose Club in S. I. when a woman approached her and told her she was WIllard Cleavers ex-wife and that she had two children a son and a daughter. Would she mind telling her nephew (my father- WIllard) that she wanted to have them all meet. My father wanted to however my Aunt Flossy became ill and we totally forgot about it.

Well I believe my father and Uncle are definitely related to your parents. My fahter was born in Staten Island on OCetober 31, 1935 his mother was Bessy and his father was WIllard Cleaver. They were either dating or married. and seh got pregnant however she died giving birth to her two fraternal twin boys, WIllard and Edward. My fathers mothers name was Betsy Surko they lived on SImonson Ave in Staten Island all thier lives. I have a picture of this imfamous Willard Cleaver with my grandmother when they were dating. There more to this story that transpired years later, a brief encounter with my fathers half brother while he was visiting St. Vincents Hospital in S. I. A man had a nurse approach my parents, she stated that the man at the counter was my fathers half brother. (my mom said he was an ambulance driver and that the little girl that he brought in was his little niece)) My parents were there for my little sister who was very sick, so they werent interested in anyth!
ing but getting her healthy. I truly think we are related.
