  Family History Researcher	From David Merchlewitz in Jan 2010 Jay ???Helen M Lang is listed at 623 E Howard ST. Winona , Minnesota Edwin J Lang is listed at the same address. We always knew them as our aunt and uncle, Helen and Ed. They also had a daughter named Kay Wanda Lang. She would be about 65 Y.O.A. The location is right for where I remember their house. Ed was a bakery/chef by occupation, at Bloedoes (Sp?) Bakery. I will have to see if it's still in operation the next time I go down there. (I have property about 25 miles from there). I don't know why the dates seem so far off (10 years)for the age. I have her listed as 81 at the time of death. That comes from the intelius.com website that I use for a second check on information. Ed is listed as D.O.B Jan.02, 1918 & died at age at 92. Which means he would have died this month. Helen M. at that address is listed as D.O.B. 13 Mar.1900...17 years off! It may have been Edwin Lang's Mother. At 81 Y.O.A at the time of death, she would have died in 1981. So I am still not sure what the status of Helen Romenesko/Lang is. I don't have her Middle name available right now but I have copies of a lot of birth certificates and will find out. The information of her death came from some of Alice Romenesko's children who are attempting to start a family tree. I am seeing a lot of their information wrong. this all started first researching when Alice recently went into the hospital before her death. This is the first I have checked their information. So...I think Helen M Lang would be Edwin J Lang's mother and the status of Helen Romenesko/Lang is still not verified! ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Anna Katherine Brutsch became the wife of Herbert Romenesko, who in turn are my maternal grandparents. Joseph Romenesko the father of Herbert (Herbie)Romenesko was a blacksmith.He migrated from Wisconson to Minnesota. Herbert worked for the railroad for awhile before becoming a blacksmith himself. His work for the Railroad took him to areas of Southern Minnesota and South Dakota. He had a great reputation for honesty with the Indian tribes living along the Mississippi and south Dakota at that time. They started doing all of their trading exclusively with him for all of their Blacksmithing needs. He would get orders for tools and deliver them. When we would go to Brownsville/Calidonia area to visit my great grandmother, Katherine Brutsch, he would take all of us down there for a family reunion. He had his own school bus route from Weaver to Winona. So it made sense to take everybody down in the school bus. In the back of the bus was the shovels, horse shoes and everything else the Indians wanted. He would stop the bus along the road and the adult male members of the family would help carry the tools up the hill, usuall about a 50 degree incline (About 1/4 mile)to hand deliver them. He continued making tools for them and working for the railroad as the stationmaster in Weaver,MN until his death. So...between the railroad and the Black Smith trade, is the reason he got down to the Calidonia area to meet Anna K Brutsch. Lucky me, otherwise, I would not have been born 22 years later. :)
