Genealogy / Change of name - Mary Dec [5]

Hmmm. Never heard of Dionizy. Where did you get that info? Searching "Dec" on a surname name shows it to be a very popular name in the SE of Poland.

Genealogy / Change of name - Mary Dec [5]

There has always been a family mystery surrounding my grandfather, surname "Dec"--from Galicia perhaps. I found a Mary Dec petition for naturalization , born in 1899. We are thinking she was an unwed mother and the dates would work. On this petition she asked to have her name changed to "Sister Mary (something)" residing in McKeesport,PA. Anyone have any idea where to go with this? Could she have been pregnant and single, lived with the nuns, etc.??? Or have I been reading too many novels????
