Hello Donna, Alice and Rich…. my name is Heather Halwani and have just begun putting my family tree together. To jump to my point…I think your Louie Galecki is also my Great-Great Uncle! I’ve asked my mother and aunt to look at the photos above and tell me if they recognize Louie and they gave me an astounding YES! My mother just dropped a photo of him in the mail to me and I’ll do the comparison myself once it gets here.

Let me explain how I’m related to Louie…

Louie was married to Kate (Gladkowski). Kate Gladkowski is the sister of my Great Grandmother Helen. They were all born in the early 1900s in Philadlephia (Port Richmond).

Louie and Kate had two children, Walter and Eleanor. I don’t have much more info than that, but maybe that’s where you come in?

I hope we’ve linked the same Louie Galecki- I doubt many people shared that name.

Regards,
Heather

Don’t you just love it when the internet makes a connection and solves a mystery?

I loved this photograph.

Rich Zaleski always thought that his Uncle Louie (the best man) was the younger brother of his Uncle Ziggy (the groom), but your research has shown it is the other way around. Thank you for this information, it is helping Rich get all his aunts and uncles in the correct cronological order.
