Frank Dado

These are some of the descendants of Frank Dado, born April 1862, (or perhaps in Komlosa, Austria, on 23 September 1863, according to a death certificate, parents were John Dado and Anna Cucrara,) and possibly a brother to Simon Dado. If so, Frank was my great great uncle. Frank was married to Susan Krutz, who was born in February 1870. He died sometime between the 1920 and 1930 censuses. Some other sources indicate Susan's maiden name to be "Kurtz" but apparently that's a misspelling.

There is a John Krutz and family, presumably living nearby in 1900 census. Possibly her brother? An Eva Pelesko is mentioned in John Dado's obituary as his Aunt, and Eva was listed as the wife of John Krutz.
