Message Board Post:
I am looking for a family member of Mary Knizner, who d Nov. 29, 1995. In the 1940 Census
she had children, Edward Kuizner, age 10, Thomas Kuizner, age 8 and Esther Kuizner age 6.
She also had William Hovanes, age 19 and Veronica Hovanes age 13, called foster son,
foster daughter on the 1940 Census, but step-son & step-daughter on 1930 Census. On
1930, Mary said first marriage was at age 15, so I believe William and Veronica are hers
from a previous marriage. Esther married John Lewis in 1953 in Ohio. Now, my reason for
looking up a family member: William Hovanec/Hovanes was killed July 18, 1944 in France on
a mission to parachute supplies to the French resistance. M. Jean-Paul Favrais in France
researches WWII crash sites and when complete, the villagers invite family, have a
memorial service and unveil a stone with crews names (at no expense to family). If family
can't attend, they send a memorial booklet. M. Favrais has told my family what
happened to my MIA uncle !
when we thought he went down in the English Channel. If you can help, please reply.
