Name obtained from the Kostanty's marriage license with Magga Horwat Myczkowska.

1. 2. Konstantine BURAK   b. 18 Dec 1891, Minsk, , , Russia; d. 12 Sep 1965, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA.
2. 3. Alex or Carl BURAK   b. 26 May 1891, Winickofo,, Russia; d. 1 Apr 1952, Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA.

BIRTH:
WWII draft card has birth as 18 Dec 1890, not 1891.

Konstantine said that back in Russia he had a stepmother, whom he hated. One day she hit Konstantine's brother which made Konstantine mad so he pushed or threw her down the steps.

Konstantine was a good friend of Frank Myczkowski, so when Frank died and left Margaret a widow with three children, she married Konstantine so her children would have a father and provider. Unfortunately, he was quite a drinker. He had a metal plate in his head as the result of being beaten with a club by the cops (he was drunk). This beating happened before he married Margaret.

MARRIAGE:
Listed in Cuyahoga County Probate Court Marriage Index as Bride--Myczkowska, Magga H. and Groom--Borak, Kostanty. Borak is exactly how it appears. V.152, Pg 207. The middle initial (H) is probably for her maiden name, Horwat, as Myczkowska would be her name as a widow.

IMMIGRATION:
Entered U.S. in 1912 at Ellis Island, NY. Always talked about coming from White Russia.

Notes: 2494 E. 31. 4-10-52. 60 yrs.
Information shown above for Alex / Carl may not be Konstantine's brother. Proceed with caution with this information. However, Helen Myczkowski Wanicki, step-daughter of Konstantine Burak, told about visits to his aunt who lived around E.142nd Street and also about visits to his brother's house. She specifically named his brother's children as being named Kostik and Sofie. Based on that info, it would appear that the info above may indeed be for Konstantine's brother.
