| Grandma Mary married several more times after divorcing my grandfather. She had another daughter, Marcella. Although she is listed as "Marcella Betlach" on census records, she was not my grandfather's child. Her father may have been Frank Moravec, as that is who grandma was married to at the time. When Mary died, in 1967 she was know as Mae Shipla. |
