Research notes for Leon

While nearly every record shows DOB as 1894, it is (per baptism record) clearly 1895.

According to the obit, "Piasecki Funeral Home is serving the family." However, I called them and while I'm not a direct descendant, I explained to them that Leon has none. They agreed to at least CHECK if they had him...they do NOT have any records of him. They feel quite sure that if they had been involved, they would have some record.

The law firm of KELLY, RICHTER & DANIEL handled the probate for Leon. They no longer exist and I do not know if any of those records still exist. I don't even know if any of those records would be public record. Finally, other than calling cemeteries in the area, I do not know how to find Leon.
