      Dear W.D.Romanski,

      My name is Rev.Father Timothy W. Biskupiak. My maternal Grandfather was George Henry Sullivan (1894-1961. Laura Sullivan would have been his sister. His daughter, Elizabeth Ruth Sullivan (1937-1982) was my mother. I had heard family stories about an Aunt Laura who died very young. I had not been able to verify any of them via Ancestry.com. They did not show any Census info for her. Everyone on my Sullivan side is deceased except for some distant cousins. I would like to exchange information with you if possible. Please contact me at RevTimFDP@hotmail.com at your convenience. Please have a great day day and God bless.

      Peace,

      Fr.Tim
