I believe this information comes from family sources, but some of the information may have come from the social security death index, with the following additions and exceptions:

Rose Oravec - birth and death dates come from Social Security Death Index
Frances - the name and birth date is confirmed by a 1908 copy of the baptismal record, in Hungarian.
Helen Machalec - the information in the Social Security index does not agree with the information here (almost certainly a family source)
John - the birth day (not month or year) disagree between the Social Security death index and weak family sources.
Anthony - the death year in the Social Security death index does not agree with the information here.
John and Helen - there is some disagreement as to the order of the two deaths.
Anna Gulas - SSDI gives 1892, family source 1896.

The Mariska Vlossak in Wisconsin in the Social Security Death Index is not a member of this family and not known to be related.
