"Iggy" Gorski aka Frank Smith
It is believed that my grandfather was born Ignatius Gorski in Chicago, IL, Ward 15, on 26 Jul,1892.Another version is that he was from Lemont, IL.However, at some point, he changed his name to Frank Michal or Michael Smith (maybe not legally) and a birth date of 29 Jan, 1891 is associated with this name. Under this name, he served in the army, raised a family with Edith Taylor in Madison, WI, and worked as a machinist at Madison Kipp/KIPP. He died as Frank Smith on 07 Apr, 1954.He perhaps had a brother named Joe or Joseph Gorski, from Lemont, who visited the Smith family in the early 1960's. Unfortunately, no one in the Smith family asked any questions of Joe and nothing more has been learned about Frank Smith aka Ignatius (he called himself "Iggy") Gorski. I would very much like to find a link to this mysterious grandfather of mine.
