Genealogy / Family members immigrating from Bereska [26]

Shelby,

Thanks so much for the info. Here is some of the info I have. I glanced through the Bereska database and saw the Korolewiat name, even back in the 1700's. I can muddle through the Latin, but the handwriting will have to be for a good day.

1. Philip's gravestone says Korelovich. He is buried with his second wife, Mary. She was a widow who had kids from a previous marriage. There is an obit attached to findagrave.com. You seem to have been doing this for awhile, so you already know about all that.

2. His first wife was Martha Houck (1881-1929). She and Philip had a bunch of kids. Looks like she is buried with her daughter. There is another database with Ella Pundai on ancestry. She was Martha's daughter.

3. John Washnock married Augusta Houck (1883-1982). She was Martha's sister. They had 12 kids.

4. Lots of Washnocks and Coreys still in the Latrobe/Whitney/Derry, Pa area!

Hello MacGrammie7,
I haven't looked at this for awhile either. I was looking through old funeral cards. My grandfather Michael Korolewiat died in 1961. His half-brother Philip Washnock still has descendants in Whitney, PA. I visited with some of them in 1992 when my Dad Nicholas Corey, died. Maybe they would know something. There was also a sister, Mrs.Margaret Yanchick of St. Claire, PA. I would be interested if you find out anything. I am at jmbaker11@att.net.
