Have been trying to find family in Starke County for quite a while now.
Joseph DANCHO and his wife Mary CHOVANEC DANCHO moved to the area about
1920, had at least 2 more children - John and Tony - while there and raised
the others - Mary, Joseph, Sophie and Eleanor until the father died in an
auto accident in 1944. The mother stayed until about 1960 when she went to
a nursing home and then passed away in 1962.
I have not been able to find them on the 1920 Census anywhere. I have
checked Whiting and Starke County and must be missing something. I know
that they lived in Whiting Indiana for a few years after arriving in the US
about 1910/1911 with the oldest daughter Mary. 3 more children were born
before they moved to Grovertown on a farm. The property may have even
belonged to Mary CHOVANEC's brother George Chovanec/Chovanecz. The father
continued to work in Whiting at the refinery.
My hope is to find someone on this list that has run across the DANCHO name
or would be willing to do some research - at the going rates - for me to
track this family down for me.
HELP !!!!!
